SAFEGUARDING
INVESTMENTS
Prominent Mining Man Doos Not Be
liovo that Government Supervision
Would Bo a Good Thing Good and
Bad in All.
"Present-day methods enablo mining
and engineering men to determine tho
vnluo of their propcitics with so much
accuracy that there is no occasion wlmt
over for offering tltem to tho public un
til they have been so thoroughly inves
tigated that their prospective value may
bo known with reasonable correctness,"
said Major L. H. French in n Now York
paper, referring to the sentiment which
has arisen in liuancial circles in favor
of curbing by means of fedoral legisla
tion the many wildcat schemes which
have been the accomplishment of the
present boom in mining stocks. "The
great mining men of tho country," con
tinued -Mr. French, "conduct their en
terprises upon these principles, from
which they in no instance depart.
"Very frequently companies are
formed and stock sold simply on the
strength 01 ownership of mining claims
in some favorable locality, but where no
development work worth speaking of
lias been done. This can nevor bo jus
tified, even though sucn mines may ulti
mately produce largo dividends. That
which applies to all other enterprises
is equally true of mining investments.
Honesty in statements concerning a
company, as well as in its later conduct
and management, are tho only proper
guarantees of success. It has been sug
gested that some form f federal con
trol may be exercised, so that an inves
ligation into the genuineness of mining
companies' assets may bo made before
they are permitted to offer stocks to
the public. I can hardly see how it
would be possible for such control to bo
exercised, but any plan tending to that
result would bo more than welcomed by
thoso who put legitimate enterprises be
fore the public.
"Reputable concerns in every in
stance do everything in their jxiwer to
protect their clients from unprofitable,
- unsafe or wildcat schemes. '
Major French, who has long been
identified with mining and railroad in
terests on the Seward Peninsula of
Alaska, ami whose energy and push
have earned for him tho titlo of
"Alaska's Roosevelt," has just roturn
ed to Xew York from tho Greonwator
he has recently completed tho merger
of several rich claims and leases into
the Nevada-Greenwater Mining & Smel
ting company. It is in this section that
Charles M. Schwab, Senator W. A.
Clnrke, T. L. Oddie, 11. II. Rogers, J. 11.
Carstairs, F. A. Ileinze, the Guggen
heims and other milling experts have
invested several millions of dollars.
In response to an inquiry concern
ing the present boom in that section,
Major French said: "In tho present
merger tho claims constitute an asset
which is in no degree speculative,
which have cost a great sum of money
,ind which cannot fail to return tre
mendous dividends for many years. In
one instance fivo veins of copper oro
have been uncovered to an extent of
0,000 feet in length, 1,000 feet deep,
and nveraging from 8 to 32 per cent in
copper.
"Unfortunately, whenever a section
is heralded as' producing vast sums of
money as a result of mining, there in
stantly spring up a number oi so-cnlled
mining companies whose only claim to
merit is tho fact that they aro in the
favored locality. Such companies rare
ly state definitely facts which are sus
ceptible to investigation, nnd the lack
of responsibility on tho part of those
who father them is usually quite sufii
eient to stamp them :n worthless.
"It hns been customary for Nevada
companies to be formed with n million
dollars capitalization on the strength
or the ownership of n single lease. Most
such companies have been able to
make good and that has lent prestige to
the custom. Tho fact remains, how
ever, that such a practice is hardly le
gitimate; for a lease can scarcely bo
called property sufficient to form the
basis of a reliable company, no matter
how much money such companies may
have produced. 1 regard such leases as
wholly speculative and neither more nor
less than a good gamble.
"It If difficult to properly denounce
fake companies in the fact of tho fact
that most of the Nevada communes
which have been formed on such a
ilimsy basis as I have referred to have
managed to pay largo dividends to their
stockholders. The fact that southern
Nevada has produced so many paying
juines is, however, no defenso for sell
ing to tho public millions of shares in
companies which aro wholly specula
tive and the success of which has been
"due moro to luck and the richness of
that section than to careful examina
tion and a proper deslro to care for
the interests of tho purchasers of
stock."
IN
DFFCER'S
FIRST ARREST
Bisbco Constable Has a Warm Tim in
Trying to Pinch His First Victim
Man Slugged Him as He Was Being
Taken to Jail.
That the road which tho new office
holders have to travel is not strown
with roses until they got onto tho ropes
is evident from some of the experiences
through which sovoral of those who re
ceived tho majority of tho popular suf
frages at tho last election pnssod yes
terday, says tho Hisbco Review.
The first ouo to bo initiated into the
"stunts" of his now job was Constable
Dennio Twomoy. The now officer was
walking up Hrowery avenue when he
saw about a dozen men engaged in tho
ungcntlemnnly avocation of beating up
a fellow weighing about 130 pounds.
Tho constnble, being kind-hearted
felt sorry for tho under dog, and tak
ing him by the arm, advised him to go
his way and sin no more, but the offi
cer only received a heap of abuse for
his trouble, and as soon as ,he turned
his back tho embryo .lohn L. Sullivan
wont back to be beatnn up some more.-
The fellow was receiving a gonorous
amount of punishment when tho offi
cer again came up, and Twomey de
cided that the ambitious pugilist would
bo bettor off in jail. Tho constable
extended nn invitation to tho fellow to
accompany him, which was accopted,
and the two stnrted down tho street
together. Twomoy is n very rotiring
fellow, and not caring to hurt the pris
oner's feelings by letting ovoryoue see
that, he was under arrest, did not use
tho hnndctiffs, but simply walked along
beside tho man in a friondly way. Just
as the two turned tho corner at the
Bank of iiisbec to go up Main street to
the jail, the pugilist turned loose a right
swing which landed on the officer's jaw
anil pijt him down. Twomoy recovered
quickly nnd had his man on his knees
beggiug for mercy in a fow seconds, and
then took him to jail. In explaining
tho incident nftorwards the constable
stated that hereafter a man whom ho
arrested would have to show a certifi
cate of being a gentleman, otherwise he
would bo handcuffed.
THE BIG ELECTRIC COMPANIES
Must Advance Prices in Keeping with

Copper Supplies
NOGALES MAKES PROTEST
.Wants Railroad Direct from Cananea
and Offers $100,000 for It
Tho citizens of Nogalos, Sonora and
Arizona, are much disturbed over tho
prospect of railroad connections being
made botweon Cananea nnd Imuris di
rect. As a result the business men of
the towns have proffored to tho railroad
cash and ground amounting in value to
a bonus of $100,000 if they will build
the now line from Cananea to Nogales,
Sonora, direct, instead of to Imuris.
What the outcome will bo is vet im
possible to say. Tho Nogales peoplo
base their activity on the ground that a
line from Cananea to Imuris would ake
a largo amount of business from No
gales hat now goes to that point, turn
ing it over to Mngdalona and other
points. Cananea would of courso bon
efit more from the lino direct to Imuris
than .from a lino to Nogales and the
local feeling is. consequently highly fa
vorablo to tho construction of tho exten
sion by way of Cocospora to Imuris
aloug the lino of tho survey us now
being made. Cananea Herald.

Tho News Bureau Says: The advance
in copper has had one unexpected effect.
Both the great electric companies, the
General Electric and the Westinghouso,
are now striving for better prices rather
than to get each other's business.. A
manufacturer recently declined the
price named by ono of tho big electric
companies, nnd was astonished to re
ceivo a letter of thanks from them for
declining tho price, and stating that if
he wished any other goods in that line,
tho present prico would bo so' much
higher. Ho filed his order instanly at
the higher (trice named.
The Westinghouso Electric company
has advanced the prices of most of its
heavy goods about 10 per cent, which
corresponds with tho advance made by
tho General Electric company Novem
ber 1. The Westinghouse Electric has
not followed the leud of the General
Electric, but has been steadily advanc
ing prices for the past three months
until the avcrago of the advances is
about 10 per cent in the lines of electric
apparatus affected. '
The advances are based wholly on
the higher cost of the raw materials
which enter into construction. The Elec
tric company uses about 4,000,000 lbs.
of copper monthly at its East Pittsburg
works, which it is obliged to buy large
ly in the open market. As the com
pany is not covered with copper for any
length of time ahead, it fills its require
ments from time to timo at the mar
ket price. Steel, pig bars, tin and all
metals are also from 20 to 30 per cent
higher than last year.
Both of tho electric interests are look
ing for copper mines. It is said that
tho General Electric company ,has in
vested somewhere near $l,0u0,000 in
copper properties and has expectations
of good returns some time in the future,
while George Westinghouse has been
wrestling with a half million dollar cop
per mining investment in Arizona.
Botli these companies would do well
to consolidate thoir copper mining in
terests, pick up some cheap copper mine
on tho Boston market nnd develop it
jointly, remembering that at the pres
ent time it takes moro than $2,000,000
to make a good copper mine, but as
these interests consume over 12o,000,000
pounds of copper per annum, they might
just as well understand that together
they have not enough money -to buy
half that amount of production in the
form of a profitable mine. Both of
them would have done better to have
bought Calumet & Ilecla or Anaconda
instead of investing money in copper
prospects.
If Mr. Westinghouse, however, fails
to make a good eopper mine in the
southwest, it will be about the first
failure ho hns over encountered, for he
has a phenomenal record of successes in
many fields.
The Westinghouse works are crowded
with orders which aro now booked for
months ahead. In spito of an increase
in floor area during tho past fourteen
months of over 1,000,000 square feet,
tho company is still cramped for space,
and in some of tho shops temporary
stagings have been erected in tho aisles
to give greater room.
A Westinghouso mnnnccr attributes
much of tho rush in fall business to
tho growth of central power station
business throughout tho country. Cen
tral station officials have found that tho
expansion of business this fall has
wiped out their rcsorvo margin of power
and that it was necessary to build up
a new margin of safety by Installing
new apparatus.
