| Show HAMMER FOR FOU MINING lI-ING SHARES Just now Eastern papers arc are offering good mono money for fOI stories Ies to the discredit of the mining industry of Utah and Nevada Ne Success McClure l and even tho the Saturday E devote their choicest pages to the hammer hammer- fest test The They call It a madness and declare that the on one straight and narrow path to insolvency enc and commercial not dishonor dishonor not to mention such little things as discomfort discomfort discomfort fort and personal regret regret regret-is Is s to bu buy stock In Western Wester mines All of which Is not quite so o sincere as It should beThe be bc The Eastern man mart who Is at all Informed knows that tha mining raining stocks are arc sounder as investments than titan are arc th the securities that have commonly and In former days been bee traded in It on the exchanges and at the curb There is this difference Tho The mining business ha has something of assessable value alue Most 1 of tho the marketed office broker-office securities had not It may be there ar are scamps camps in the tho East who take advantage of the general genera desire to make mone money It may be that such men have hav offered on the market regular market regular or Irregular stock irregular stock that tha was worthless pretended shares In a property that dId not nut exl exist t. t But for every everyone one of that sort thero there are a hundred hundred cl f that are ire r V jL s 7 and c mm IJ sound When hen the East understands that mining is Js a bus busness business busl- busl tics ness and not a gamble unless the they want to make n a gamble of or it il- il they it-they the they will record a gentler judgment These men at Park City and at Bingham and over i in Tonopah and antl Goldfield and in tho the amazingly rich YerIngton Yerington Yerington Yer Yer- ington and Rosebud know they have valuable properties pr They know the cop copper and amI time the silver and tho the gold ar are there for thc they have taken the actual ore out of th the actual ground and have had actual assa assays s 's made An Anthe And the assayers have got marketable mineral out of or the ores On the of what they

that tho the mills an anthe and the smelters smelters' are arc converting it hi Into to pigs of metal an and that business men all over 01 the tho world arc are offering mone money real real money money for for tor It Now V and then an honest miner makes a u. mistake He believes the vein runs through a a. certain bit of ot ground and ho he buys that that ground and spends his own money money and tho the money of ot his a associates digging and at length discovers that the vein vanished and that there Is nothing nothIng nothing noth noth- ing of value where there was every reasonable promise Jot o of being much Sometimes an honest miner finds that a vein of established value and productiveness suddenly quits and there is no IS-no no more of it on tho land he lie can call claim And his mine minei i Is not so valuable as he had b been el led Jed to believe belle I and Ana then Ulen again sometimes an honest miner 1 buys US U'S Ia a parcel of f land ot on a n bl bleak ak mountain
