Show T R U TH 12 COMMENT. MINING The governing board of the Mining Exchange has taken an important and commendable course in urging that the next legislature enact a law compelling mine owners, whose properties are dealt in by the public on the Exchange and elsewhere, to furnish monthly or quarterly statements of the condition of their properties. It is a good move and shows that the board of governors is in earnest in its expressed desire that the Mining Exchange be run on the square. A law such as that would have prevented the disaster which overtook the mining exchange last year and brought it into disrepute from which it has not yet recovered. By such a regulation the thoroughly disschemes called mines honest wild-cin which the public lost heavily last fall and which brought many legitimate mining enterprises into disrepute, would not have found a place on the board at all. The public would have escaped a skinning and the Exchange and the honest brokers would not have been made catspaws for the benefit of the promoter of oreless mines. Truth was the first to offer the suggestion for the enactment of the law now proposed by the Exchange managers. It still believes it would go a long way towards promoting healthy business on the change. No'honest mine owner need fear it and others should not only be not considered, but should be excluded from the Exchange. at Tonopah Mining company which was presented to the shareholders at the annual meeting on Monday was of a most gratifying character. Mountains of ore have been uncovered running on an average about $40 in gold and 200 ounces in silver. The following were elected directors for the coming year: VV. II. Dickson,. T. E.

The foregoing paragraph of brilliancy and wisdom was sent out as mental pabulum by a weekly newspaper printed at the town of Price. It may be seriously questioned whether the author of the criticism was well informed as to his subject matter. Salt Lake merchants as a rule are not vendors of shoddy, and neither are their prices outrageous. Successful merchants do not build up their business by fraudulent practices. It is undoubtedly true that if a buyer is in search of shoddy he could find it in Salt Lake, He might also be able to discover outrageous prices if he looked for them. It is safe to say, however, that the reputable merchants of the city took no unfair advantage of their country buyers, for such a policy would be fatal to their success. It is too bad that so many country'1 editors are given to strong off on them The fact that Fred Wey, the wel known hotel man, is to give Salt Lake another first class hotel, does not seem to be generally known. The improvements that are being made to the Harmon hotel have served to conceal the magnitude of the undertaking. Landlord Weys big hotel will be called the Wilson, and it will be first class in every respect. It will have 175 rooms, 85 of them with baths. As the Knutsford has but 145 rooms, the capacity of the new hotel can be estimated. The Kenyon has 302. rooms containing 455 beds, being extraordinarily large for a town the size of Salt Lake. Just at the present time travel is somewhat slack, 50 rooms in the Knutsford being without occupants and 85 in the Kenyon. The completion of the Wilson hotel is of course in anticipation of expanding business which is certain to come. fl!roTmmnroww!M?f?nm?!fmmwYi!fi Hotel Cullen : E Salt Lake City Street Cars from ; 3 E all Trains Pass the Door.
