MINING SHARPS.
Thuio is a lull in the mining fc\

Bcribora lectures upon the wickedm
of wuitorn mine operators , nnd t
swindling methods by which worlhlc
properties are foisted upon innoce
and ignorant purchaseis. Westo
mining operators nro certainly , to s
the least , no more wicked than cnsto
operators in "arious opcculntivo ontt
prises. Every mine , until its value
assured by a steady production of t ;
precious umtnls in paying quantiti
is a business speculation. It must' '
oonnidorod as such by the purchase
and ought to bo entered upon wi
tit the same nnd no moro prouuitii
than would bo used in investing in
speculative ontoipriso in the eai
There are corlairily no reasons wl
mining may not bo carried on just
honorably and just us lairly nn ai
other enterprise operated by a sto
company. Tlio history of this indt :
try in the west furnishes a number
examples in proof of tl
position. The great dnnqor
mining investments , ns in ra
road stock operations , is th
tlio desire to make money rapidly a
tracts to it's pursuit unacrupulo
men , whoso only object is to li
their own pockets nl the expense
their stockholders. If it were ns en
to locate a railro.ul ns it is to stake o
a mining claim , there is no doubt tli
the number of shorn investors

as great aa those who hmcnt tin
haste in dumping their pockets

stipulated by unscrupulous sharpe ;
It is a singular fact that wohcaragrt

equally 'outrageous steals in Krio n
