Show VOLUME 12 NUMBER 1 with this issue of the mining review enters upon the twelfth year of its existence the publication of a mining publication differs in many ways from the ordinary run of newspapers and especially so when it is the intention and aim of its publishers to keep abreast with the times to give its patrons a journal that is first class in every particular and free from the taint of misrepresentation and exaggeration it is an easy matter as a general rule to fill up the columns of a mining paper with the advertisements of fake promotion companies to join hands with those who seek to filch from innocent investors their savings or their hard earned dollars and to pursue such a course means rich pickings for the publication following such methods but this does not build up a paper neither does it advance it in the esteem and confidence of the mining reader and yet to refuse such patronage the first class paper must eliminate from its receipts at least one half or more of what it could ern earn from the very beginning the mining review has held that talat a mining publication owes a duty to the public as well as to itself and its every effort has been to issue a paper that is entertaining newsy and as nearly accurate in its statements as is possible this policy has been continued from year to year until today the mining review not only exerts a wide influence from ocean to ocean but is also regarded as being authority along legitimate mining lines and its circulation is steadily increasing among the very best class of people there is no question but that the mining review in its field occupies a mining section that is the greatest in the world and it is generally conceded that salt lake city cit is the logical center and commercial of 0 this field for this reason this paper looks forward to years of progress and growth and believes in time that it will increase in size and importance until it is the equal of a number of other excellent mining and engineering publications whose environments have enabled them to follow up an ideal until they are now looked upon as being the best of the best and f uly occupying their respective fields the mining review hopes to make still further improvement to make greater strides forward in the future than it has in the past and it enters upon volume 12 with a greater feeling of optimism than ever before |
