Show A PROSPECT THEX A MINE Dividend Mines Wore AH Dhi1ent Paying Ines Once Mere Prospects With all due respect to several worthy wor-thy members of this community the Review believes a wholly unnecessary raised against hue and cry is being wildcat mining schemes and worthless prospects A prospect is not worthless as many people seem to think simply by reason of being a prospect All great producers have been only prospects at one stage of their existence and without prospects we would have no mines The apparent ap-parent tendency to decry undeveloped properties is unjustified and will do the country no good A company that is organized for the purpose of developing develop-ing a prospect and that gives out an honest statement of its purpose and of the condition of the property is engaged en-gaged in just as lauful and laudable an undertaking as any mercantile incorporation in-corporation I is only when such company com-pany undertakes to sell its stock upon the misrepresentation that it owns a rich developed mine that it becomes a wildcat swindle In nine cases out of ten the illegitimate mining projects are conceived and executed by a set of eastern adventurers and sharps Western West-ern people rarely descend to this form of fraud and in this intermountain region there are fewer such swindles than in any other mining section Eastern people who are bitten by the wildcats would be easy game for any bunko sharps for many avenues of reliable information are open to them The Review would deplore the inauguration inau-guration of a wildcat regime but so long as people retain their senses there is no danger of such a calamity Such a regime is certainly not upon us now neither is it threatened and the affected alarm of some people Is not only imprudent but it is absolutely silly InterMountain Mining Review |
