same business. When one proper j
ty "strikes it rich every adiaoontj

There is no jealousy m mining.
Instead of envying a man's good
fortune, his neighbors all rejoice
v» ith him. knowing that by making
a auccess of his enterprise he has
made their chances for success
more favorable.
Mining is the cleanest busin<'s3
for another reason Every dollar
taken from She ground is a new
dollar. It has never been contam
inated by being used in oft-times
filthy business competition. It has
vovtr been scared by the blasphe
my of a ruined gambler, nor bap
tized in anguish by a w idow's tear.
I» hue never been befouled by con
tact with a miser's talons, nor suf
fered the indignity of being wrench
ed from the reluctant hand of some
poor, pauperized unfortunate. It
is wealth edded to the world's .*ip
piy, with untold potential power
for increasing the comfort and en
joy ment ot the human race.
Mining is the most important
business. Without fninirg every
other Industry in the world would
be paralyzed. There would not be
eveu a hairpin «r a needle. The
gss engine would not exist, auu
type would have to be made of rub
ber—and there would be no twin
with which to shape it, No indus
try can be named in which mine
pioducte do not play a vital past.
Without mining, osdet would give
way to chaos, and civizilization
would disappear, for man would be
oompclled to descend to the primi
tiveness of the stone age
DISGRACEFUL SITUATION
Our attention has been called to
a serious condition of affairs which
should be oorrected at the earliest
possible moment for the preserva
tion of the good name of the dis
i trict and the continuance of the
reputation for rectitude and good
citizenship which Hyder has attain
ed during the first two years’ exis
tence as an important mining c* li
tre.
