AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
WHAT TITLE HAS
THE COMPANY,
There are still some buyers
of mining shares who fail to
secure complete information
before investing, says the
Denver Mining & Financial
Record.
The Record recently had oc
casion to secure facts for one
of its subscribers regarding
a mining promotion widely
advertised in promotion sheets.
The company is highly capi
talized and with the stock be
ing offered at one dollar a
share it was only natural to
suppose that the company had
title by warranty deed to the
properties advertised. Invest
gations showed that the com
pany owed close to $200,000
on the property. The fact wa?
concealed in the advertising
broadcast by the company, li
is best to take nothing foi
granted. If full facts are not
forthcoming, don’t buy. There
are too many good enterprise;
to waste funds on purely stock
selling schemes.
The Record believes that a
company formed on a lease
and option to purchase a min
ing property should be con
servatively capitalized; not
captilized on the basis of own
ership of the property. We
have seen many mining leases
pay handsome dividends where
over-capitalization'was not in
dulged in. Investigation as tc
ownership and capitalization
coupled with common sense
will tell you whether the com
pany is organized to makt
money for the stockholder*
fPom mining operations or tc
make money for the officer;
and promoters from stock
sales.

A NEWER-ENDING WAR.
Ordinary rules of sanitation ir
the home and by municipalities
are saving the lives of thou
sands of Americans annually
and making virulent epidemics
almost unheard of.
How many people a few
years ago knew that malaria
germs were spread by the
mosquito and tha t many dis
ease germs were carried broad
cast by the common housefly,
No greater in number than
these were those who realized j
the efficacy of screens, cover- j
ed garbage cans, clean yards
and the elimination of stag
nant water in exterminating
the mosquito and the fly.
A fly in the house is a sign j
of careless housekeeping in I
his era of swat-the-fly. It is J
only iii the poorest tenement ;
districts and the squalid homes
of the mountaineer that the !
housefly is still given free
’ein to taint food and carry
lisease germs from person to I
person. Neither is the mosquito 1
oermitted to inject his malaria
terms into the veins of every j
■deeping human.
To successfully combat the
ly and the mosquito, the cam- 1
oaign should be launched early i
n the year. But the battle
Lgainst summer's pestiferous
onveyors of receptacles of ‘
lisease should not stop with '
oreventatives. Debris should I
lot be permitted to accumu
ate, garbage should be clos
;d tightly at all times. And
he fly swatter should be kept
n daily use.

CONQUERING NATURE.
Since man’s beginning he has
vaged an unceasing battle
o subject nature to his will
-nd wish. Though the battle
las now waged for thousands
>f years nature is still the
naster of man.
Victory is not yet in sight
or man, but his advance,
hough slow, is unchecked.
Mature may neVer be entirely
inder the control of man,
vho is actually a part of nat
ive, but her many elements
ire being subdued one by one.
vlan’s greatest struggle with
aature has been the prolongat
ion of human life, a thing ov
er which nature for ages held
complete and uncontested
sway. Science, medicine, edu
cation and sanitation as con
ceived by the genius of the
human mind, are succesfully
driving back the forces of nat
ure toward the lengthening of
the average span of life. On
the basis of the progress made
in the past three decades
toward the prolongation of
human life we can hope to
have an average life span of
three-quarters of a century
within the next 30 years. The
automobile, the railroad, the
airship, the telegraph and t’/a
radio are exemplifications of
man’s conquest of nature. As
tronomy and archaeology
man’s science-have brought
within his ken the universe
and the past.
Anything man can think of
he can do if he works at it
long enough. We have abol
ished the plague and devas
tating epidemics of our early
history and we shall abolish
the diseases which take their
toll of human lives today. Nat
ure is surrendering ' to man
inch by inch and is making
ma n greater for the struggle.
When the time comes-if it
should—when man no longer
has to struggle for supremacy,
the decay of the human mind
vviil probably be swift • and
sure.

It is usually the man with

Mail robbers who want what’s

If you are cheerful, brisk, j

so difficult to mend their ways
is because they neglected the

they have no kick coming is
when it comes time to kick in

SPRING SONG
Between the buds and the
blossoms,
When poets spring-idyls in
dite,
Comes a time, in the season
al sequence,
That is known as the Doctor’s
Delight.
The web-footed mud larks are
mating
And building their nests in
the drain;
And hark to the gutter snipe,
singing
His bronchial song in the
1 rain!
The red-flanneled slicker is
with us,
The sore-throated flu-jay is
here,
The crocus is waiting to croak
us—
No wonder the medicos
cheer!
Pete Wilson says self-made
men sometimes need a lot of
alterations.
Willie: “Please, teacher, what
did I learn today?’
Teacher: “What a peculiar
question!”
Willie: “Well, they’ll ask me
when I get |iome.”
One: “Come on, have anoth
er banana sundae.”
Two: “Don’t tempt me. I feel
myself slipping now.”
“Somewhere a Voice is Call
ing” is a song, and should not
be taken literally by some
singers.
Bachelor- Why don’t you
drown your sorrow, my
friend?
Married Man-I can’t. She
knows how to swim.
“Listen, Abe, you don’t vant
to marry that girl. Vy, efery
body in town kisses her.”
“Veil, the town ain’t so
beeg!”

Reliable Information
Relative To
PORTLAND CANAL
MINING DISTRICT
A timekeeper for a railroad
gang asked a new colored
workman his name.
“George Washington, suh,”
replied the dusky son of toil.
“You’re not the man who cut
down the cherry tree, are
you?’’ asked the timekeeper
jokingly.
’‘No, suh! “Twasn’t me, suh.
This is the first wu’k Ah’s
done for ovah a year.”
On earth the women are all
“angels”, in heaven the angels
are all men.
