The New York Herald Says:

“It is an undeniable fact that most influential business men of the world have turned their attention to mining, the source of nearly all wealth; for persons who have been enslaved to the idea that the only safe proposition was a five or six per cent security, now realize that many millions of interest have been lost to them through heeding the advice of those interested in cheap money, and that among the banking institutions of the West eighteen to twenty per cent per annum is not considered a hazardous western profit or excessive dividend on the great majority of our gilt-edged mining securities, and, further, the richest men in the world are mining kings, many of whom have grown powerful enough through the proper application of originally a moderate capital, and it is proven that while millions of dollars have been lost in railroads, farm mortgages, eastern industrial and building associations, the American mining industry steadily advances, making enormous profits for its supporters, building great states and cities, and points with pride to the American possession of 253 mines that have paid in dividends over $625,000,000.

“In mining investments extremely large amounts are not necessary to make one successful, for the man of moderate means, properly advised, has opportunities of quickly doubling his capital. Under incorporation great achievements are made possible through combining limited sums of thousands, thus equaling the capital of the individual millionaire, making possible gigantic undertakings that are productive of enormous revenue. The dollar of the man of moderate means is equally as powerful as the dollar of the money king. Both serve their purpose; both are entitled to their proportionate profits.

“In legitimate mining a twenty-five per cent dividend is not considered startling, and the mining interests of the West are willing to pay that interest for the use of money, for, by the aid of capital they open up tremendous ore bodies that lead to still greater fortunes. The employment of $10,000 in mining is the equivalent of $40,000 in most any other branch of industry.

“For years the wondrous profits of the metal industries have been whispered among investors, who apparently were afraid to let their neighbors know they were identified with mining, but the recent efforts of the financial czars of the world in forming combinations to control first the markets of the miners through the ‘smelting trust’ and then the mines through the ‘Amalgamated Copper trust’ have opened the eyes of the conservative and modern investors, and they are making efforts to obtain their share of the metallic wealth which nature has spread so lavishly.

“Nature has laid her treasures in the mountain recesses of the West. The American miner searches them out. Eastern money makes possible their conversion into bullion and the joint results of the miner and the capitalists make possible tremendous profits that signalize successful mining.”


America possesses 253 mines that have paid in dividends over $625,000,000.
