BANKER’S TRIBUTE TO MINING
A friend in Seattle sent us the
following whjch, though old, is
worthy of repetition;
“The president qf a large nation
al banH in Chicago was under criti
cism by the presidents of several
other hanks because of his invest
ments in a gold and copper mine
in the Rocky mountains. He made
the following reply to hip critics:
“Throughout the Rocky moun
tains, ages ago, Qod Almighty
built stronger vaults in His granite
banks than we have in ours. He
filled these vaults with gold, silver
and copper. He gave the prospec
tor knowledge and insight, and
guided him to the doors of the
vaults He has built. The Federal
Government handed him a title pa
tent to all therein. It is not a
crime but a virtue to enter. With
drill, pick, blast and spade the
prospector has broken the combi
nation locks and entered. But for
him our notes of issue would be as
the stump-tailed currency of 1857.
But for him this government of
ours would be bankrupt.
“Mines will be producing mill
ions in gold, silver and copper in
that future day when national
banks are unknown.
"A mine contains a crop already
raised, harvested and on deposit
for you to check against at your
pleasure.
“The wealth gathered from the
mines immortalized King Solomon.
“Mining made Great Britain the
world’s commercial dictator.
“Mining has made the United
States the richest country in the
world.
“Show me a country without
mines and I will show you a people
sunk in depredation and poverty;
and poverty makes cowards of na
tions as well as of individuals.
“Mining has transformed more
poor men into millionaires and
raised them to positions of hono 1
i
and trust than any ot :er business :
“Mining has scored less than 35;
oer cent of failure against 95 per j
tent of failures shown in the gen
eral m rrch iodizing business of the
United States,
“Without the products of the
mines you would have neither a
frying pan nor a table spoon, a hat
pin nor a monetery circulating me
dium.”
