AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
PUBLIC CONFIDENCE
HELPS MINING
“Properly promoted mining
ventures do not have to resort
to extravagant claims in order
to secure capital. The public
knows that there is a speculat
ive element in mining just as
in any other line of business,
even farming. It has been omy
a short time since the bubble
of a great agricultural venture
in Indiana burst, an extensive
banking system in Georgia
went on the rocks of bank
ruptcy, and a great chain
store enterprise had to submit
to a receivership; but these
isolated failures, not with
standing their magnitude, have
not shaken the confidence 01
conservative bankers, business
men, and investors. Neithei
does an occasional mining fail
ure cast its reflection upon
the whole mining industry,
says the Mining Congress j
Journal.
“In every line of business
activity there will spring up
here and there an unprinci
pled promoter who expects
to get “boob money.” The
men who stand behind the
program and policies of tnt
mining industry are men ot
high caliber. They are vitally
interested in protecting the
public against such promoters
of mining ventures, just as
the bankers and business men
of the nation are anxious to
thwart get-rich-quick schemes I
in the banking and commer
cial fields. Therefore, knowl- j
edge concerning the men who
are backing any mining vent
ure, is a far safer guarantee
against a fraudulent scheme
than could possibly be afford
ed by “blue-sky” laws, how
ever sanely and honestly ad
ministered.
“Mining is a very practical
business. There is no more 01
a gamble in a mining entei
prise, when it is honestly man
aged and intelligently financ
ed, than there is in any othei
business. It is frequently high
ly profitable. The men engag
ed in the mining' industry in
general are worthy of the
highest public confidence.
Their vision, energy an initi
ative have made the industry
successful. The United States
Bureau of Mines statistics
chow that the industry is mak
ing tremendous strides in de
velopment and expansion, de
spite the handicaps of high
costs and depression durins
recent years. This is convinc
ing evidence, not only of
healthy improvement in the
industry, but of well merited
public confidence.
o
FRIENDLY MINES
Its time to quit kicking the
mines around.
To hear some people talk,
you would think mining noth
ing but gamble and scandal,
an investment for easy marks,
a business for stock salesmen
and pathetic dreamers.
You would never think for a
moment that mines make poa
able modern civilization. Yet
they give us the steam engine
and coal that feeds it, the dy
namo and the bulb it lights,
the telephone transmitter ana
receiver and the wire that
carries the message, the auto
mobile, the safety razpr, the I
pen point, the typewriter, the
linotype machine and the
battery that drives the radio,
the reproducer, that makes
;he phonograph work.
One could go on for five
columns.
Back of all industry are pro
ducing, active, paying mines.
Every good business invites
crooks who make capital out
of its successes. Perhaps min
ing has more than its shar».
And yet, if one is to believe
ihe statistics, mining has few
er failures than other busi
nesses. Take any field of in
dustry and you will find it
dotted with the bleaching
skeletons of people wtio
gambled ill-advisedly.—Boise
Statesman.
Just for Fun
The biggest item in establish
ing a job is the fear of losing
it.
One thing we have noticed
is that the school of experience
has no class reunions.
“The last shall be first” may
apply to baseball at the ena
of the season.
A woman’s voice on the radio
doesn’t broadcast as well as a
man’s but its different at
home.
Remember that the hurry
habit soon causes the worry
habit.
Generally speaking, an effici
ency expert is neither efficient
nor expert.
Pete Wilson says skirts may
I be narrow, but he has observed
that some of them look pretty
full.
He: “But you said I could
kiss you.”
I She: “Kiss, yes; but who said
anything about a massage?’
Si-Your cow just got into mj
field and ate up all the veg
etables.
Lo-All right, I’ll send you
over a quart of milk.
Although women are now
wearing only about one-fitfh of
the clothes they wore ten years
ago, hooks in closets are jus.,
as scarce for husbands.
Unless a man gets a great
deal more than money out 01
his job, he is missing a lot of
i satisfaction.
“No man can serve two mas
ters,” observed the good par
son who was visiting the peni
tentiary.
“I know it,” replied Convict
1313, “I’m here for bigamy.”
.
“What are you doing at a Klan
meeting, Ikey-you can’t join.”
“I don’t want to join, I want
to talk to the fellow that buys
the sheets and pillow cases.”
SYMPATHY.
A hungry dog once wandered
Into a butcher’s store;
The butcher threw some sau
sage
To the dog upon the floor.
The butcher said, “Now eat it,'
The dog said, “I decline,
For in that link of sausage
Is that Old Gal of Mine;”
A recent bulletin of the de
partment of agriculture reads.
“The cat crop ranks third m
importance.” This would not
have been so far from the
truth had the last two words
been omitted. Even the printer
should have known the differ
ence between oats and cats.
The girls seem to have adopt
ed the slogan of the paint
trade and imagine that when
they save the surface they
save all.
The stingy farmer was scor
ing the hired man for carrying
a lighted lantern to call on
his best girl.
“The idea,” he exclajmed.
“When T was courtin’ I never
carried no lantern. I went m
the dark.”
“Yes,” said the hired man sad
ly, “and look what you got.”
The happiest people are not
those who are loved much, but
those who love much-those who
give of themselves and rejoice
to serve those they love.
“And what did you name the
baby, my little man?” asked
the visitor.
“Ma and Pa were going to
name it Mary,” replied the
little fellow, “but they chang
ed their minds to John.”
Fashion note says a woman
should have a hat to match
every costume. Still, we doubt
not, she would never have
anything fit to wear.”
As we understand our agri
cultural geography, a farm is
a neglected body of land en
tirely surrounded by prosperi
ty.
An officer on board a war
ship was drilling his men. “I
want every man to lie on his
back, put his legs in the air
and move them as if he were
riding a bicycle,” he explain
ed. “Now commence.”
After a short effort one oi
the men stopped.
“Why have you stopped, Mui
phy?” asked the officer.
“If ye pla2e sir,” was the
answer, “Oi’m coasting.”
THE BETTER PLAN
This living for tomorrow
May be some people’s way.
Tomorrow may bring sorrow:
Let’s live a lot today!
One colored man was joshing
another about having such a
large mouth and got this reply.
“Well, boy, that ain’t no key
hole you got in the front or
your own face.
City Editor: “Here, boy, your
story is too long. Rewrite it so
the most ignorant boob will
know what you mean.”
Cub Reporter: “What was
there ya’ didn’t understand,
boss?”
Husband (seeing wife off on
train) : “Now, dear, just as
soon as you arrive, telegraph.”
Wife: “All right. How much
shall I telegraph for?”
An experienced wife is one
who can dream of other things
while pretending to listen to
her husband’s description of
his symtoms.
The only check an extrava
gant woman puts on her ac
tivities is a bank check.
The multi-millionaire with
chronic indigestion is one man
who wants little here below.

Lots of men and things seem
easy until you try to do them.
Two business men who had
no love for each other were
taking part at a general dis
cussion at the club. One of
the two remarked: “There are
hundreds of ways of making
money.”
“Yes,” said the other, “but
only one honest way.”
“What way’s that?”
“Ah,” returned his rival gloat
ingly, “I thought you wouldn’t
know it.”
