The various mine [nvesting schemes

It Iz vicous because in 99 cases out
of 100 it is fraudulent—a get-rich-
quick scheme that fills the pockets of
a few sharpers and leaves hundreds
of por victims impoverished.
It may be set down as a sure
enough axiom that when a body of
men have a good thing In the shape
of 3a mine they don't have to adver-
tise in order to sell stock at 10, 15
and 25 cents a share. And they nev-

call on the general public for ten
cents a share for treasury or other
stock in order to develop their prop-

ten cent mining stock, and you never
hear of either of them getting “stung”

All the secrecy possible Is thrown
around a good mining venture, at
the hands of a few who will reap the
profits. It is not necessary to adver-

Therefore it is advisable to keep your
money In your pocket when the other

Which Showed That His Taxes Vor
1905 Had Been Paid.
Tax Collector Plumstead did not
sell the household goods of C. H.
Rathbun this morning for the pay-
ment of 1905 taxes A few days ago
notices were posted by the tax collec
tor advertising Mr. Rathbun's house-
hold goods for sale. [It appears that
the collector claimed that Mr. Rath-
Lun was in arrears for taxes for 1905
to the extent of $20.49. Two or three
days after the notices were posted
Mr. Rathbun exhibited a receipt for
this amount and after that the notices
disappeared.
This morning it was expected that
the sale would take place, but there
it is presumed that it bas been declar-
ed off. [It iz quite likely that Mr
Rathbun will institute a sult for dam-
ages on account of the unpleasant no-
toriety which he has been given.
