MINING
cent, from last week
The Government, statistics^
show there has been less money ;
lost in mining than in any other
important business in our coun
try. These records prove that
in mining the failures have been!
l.-ss than G.»% as against more j
than 87% of in.lures in other j
industries, throughout the Unit-,
ed States, dining the past fifty j
y**ai s.
More io:d j>r«-fit lias been!
m sdf• by in“>ti'i s in mi ing
securities during the past cent :
ury tlian from any othei’ Airier
io.in industry. j
The Mines have offered tire
tank and file of investors an j
opportunity to acquire stock* at
ridiculously low prices, many of
which subsequently appreciated
in value well above the one ^
hundred dollar mark.
Investment statistics show
that profit to investors from
mines is about \^6% - more than 1
six times the percentage of any !
other industry in the country
Next to mining comes:
Life Insurance 31 °o
Automobiles 18

Bradstreei’s compilation of j
business successes shows the
following:
Merchandising 9%
Manufacturing V)°o
Farming ls°d
Mining 67—
Wipe out the mines and the
oeople ere long would again be
living in caves and mud shacks
dong the banks of strean s like
the river drift men in the dawn
of mankind.
Strike nown the miner; sha
ckle mining; throttle the mining
industry; and civiliza ion will
sink hacic in oblivion ten thous
and years.
The great* st benefactor of
the human race has been the
prospector. The most beneficent
men of ;ill times are the far
seeing men whose brain and
brawn developed the earth's
natural resources, the men who
poured the golden stream of
wealth into the lap of civilization;
into the channels of trade; into j
fie avenues of commerce; and
i ,io the house of iiappiness
Ah honor to these Miners! |
Long live the Mining Industry!!'
Ah hail the Prospector!!! In
every land on which the sun
shines a monument should be
built 10 the Prospector for all
that he has done in every clime,
to bless humanity.
