PUBLICITY NEEDED.
Government Should Collect
Accurate Data Concern
ing Mines.
The New Nork Commercial makes
some wholesome observations anent
Heinze's objections to the publication of
information concerning his mines by tho
United States Geological Survey. It
eays:
"Mr. F. Augustus Helnzn protests
against tho publication of statistics and
information concerning his mines by the
United States Geological Survey. He
eets up the claim, that the government
representative was permitted to insect
the mines only after he had promised
that his deductions should not be made
public until thelitigation between Heinze
and the Amalgamated Copper company
was concluded. That reads like a jest.
Without going Into the legal require
ments of this department of the govern
ment we may be pardoned for express
ing in a few words our opinion as to
what it should be it carefully executed.
''In the first place, agents of the United
States Geological Survey are presumed
to collect accurate data of mineral depos
its and to make them known in published
form for the benefit of all, else what is
the useof the department? These reports
are often used by mine owners in boom
ing their properties when it is desired to
soil stock to the public. If their informa
tion is Inaccurate or incomplete it is mis
leading in its results. Certainly it is no
part of the duty of the geologist to ex
press opinions on tho value of individual
properties.
"In tho case under discussion Mr.
Heinze had the promise of the govern
ment agent, so he asserts, that informa
tion gathered by him would not bo made
public until tho litigation between
Heinze and tho Amalgamated company
was settled. As that is only among the
vague possibilities, the government's
geological report on Montana mines
would be dry reading for years to como,
likely, if these conditions were strictly
adhered to.
"The protest of Mr. Heinze and the
discussion that vl follow it call atten
tion to the fact that more publicity isde
sirablo on such subjects. Mines, organ
ized into a corporation and offering its
stock to the public, with the promise o
dividends thereon, become in a measure
public property and the owners who
are tho stockholders have a right to
know all about them. It Is not the
custom of some of these corporations to
make such reports, for the reason that
the directorate is so controlled by cer
tain stockholders that other owners of
the property are powerless to have a
word in its conduct. The principal one
of these is the Amalgamated Copper
company. Its mines are good, its re
ceipts are large, it pays a dividend not
a reasonable one, perhaps but thous
ands of its stockholders are in absolute
ignorance of what is being done. This
is where the state and government
should act. There are certain facts that
should Ikj public property in connection
with our mines. Wo hoto the Interna
tional Mining Congress will have some
thing to say ubout this mutter in its next
convention."
