THE MINING INDUSTRY
When we speak of the mining
industry, we mean mining con
ducted by men who know the bus
iness, by men who through study
and practice have qualified them
selvef to conduct it successfully.
Because of the great profit in
mining so conducted, novices, fools
and fakers have in all times flock
ed into it, and failing to get results,
as was inevitable from the start,
have given the industry a black
eye among such investors as do
not distinguish between the real
and the unreal, the practical and
impractical, the honest and dis
honest,
The latter condition i« deplor- |
able, but it does not concern the
real mining industry conducted by
properly qualified and honest min
ing men.
When conducted by scientifically
trained aqd practically experier..
ced mining men, the mining indus
try is as safe and certain and
highly profitable as any industry,
and tremendously more profitable
in proportion to the amount of
capital required than is any other
legitimate industry. This is not
an idle or thoughtless assertion.
The records of mines so oonducted
and operated proye its truthfulness.
And it is the oleauest and most
honorable industry in the world, in
that it does not take profit toll from
anyone. Think of that!
When the miner finds the metals
and brings them forth, he takes
nothing from anyone else, but con
tributes to the wealth of the world
and to the comfort and pleasure
and happiness of the race.
Stop agriculture, and we die.
Stop mining, and ali business dies.
Without monetary metals we -
would have no basic money with
which to effect exchange. Without
iron, copper, lead ai.d so on, we
would have no manufacturing.
What a world that would be!—
Mining Truth, Spokane.
The following is said to have
once appeared in a country paper.'
To our thubthriberth—Thith ith a
motht extraordinary occathion.
Latht night a thooundrelly printer,
whom we had dithcharged, thneak

thith paper will be forced to ithwe
