Tbe prospector, tbe newapaper and
tbe promoter are tbe leading factors
iu the upbuilding of a mining dis
trict, aaya an exchange. The proa
pectnr makes tbe discovery, the news
paper advertises his find to the world,
and tbe promoter interests capital to
develop the property. .They... are, all.
essential in tbelr various sphere,
and' without them tbe country would
remain unproductive. Of tbe three
tbe promoter comes in for tbe most
abuse, and as a genearl thing it is
undeserved. The promoter, like tbe
proHpector. is an enthusiast, and it Is
well that he Is, for no man can talk
up an euteipriae in which he lacks
faith. The mining sections of the
west oho much to the promoter. If

that they aro iiHed by olllccrH and

when an outsider goes against one of

names of those who united in a
memorial to congress asking that this

are prominent in tbe list of advocates
of a high protective tariff and apolo
gists for tbe trusts. Tbey go eo far
as to ask that the tariff be removed
from wood pulp, a large per cent of
which comes from Canada, and have
raised a fund of $50,000 to be used
iu fighting tbe paper trust In a
political way, in securing desired
legislation.

What has tbe war in the Orient to
do with tbe mining industry lu
America? There are no guns power
ful enough to carry as far as tbe un
derground workings of a western
mine, and the gold in the ground will
be worth just as much, no matter
which side wins. Listed mining
stocks have declined lu sympathy
with tbe decline on the industrial
exchanges. Some prospective Invest
ors in uulistcd securities are display
ing a little attack of cold feet. Any
tlgbtoiiiug of money on tho ncoro of
thu win can only be but a temporary
development. When the investing
and speculating public fully realizes
tbe fnot that if this country Is
atfected by tho war It must be benefi
cially, the bulls will quickly got ou

securities of all kinds, and especially
good mining securities. There Is a
silver lining to every cloud and tbe
unanimous opinion la that tbe war
cloud in the Orlont has a llnlug for
us over which we should be hopeful
rather thau pessimistic. Daily Miu
