Chief of Police James Walsh and Officer Julius Vogel had their troubles Inst night, and the cause of it all was an old man whose hair and long whiskers are almost snowy white and who admits having been on earth for a period of eighty years in the early part of the evening the officers were called to go over to the Brundage house. They were Inform- ed that an old man was making a disturbance and that his presence in the house was no longer desired When the officers arrived at the house they found a man in the barroom, who was making things exceedingly interesting, and before the blue coats got through with the old fellow he also made it lively for them Despite the fact that he is short in stature, weighed only a trifle over 100 pounds, and way past the allotted three score and ten, he put up a resistance to arrest that would make Tom McAsee and other old rounders blush with shame Officer Vogel started the old fellow for the lockup. The big chief walked along by the side of the of- ficer and his prisoner, and things went along fairly smooth until the trio reached the top of the Packer avenue bridge. The old fellow bolted and re- fused to budge. He grabbed hold of the iron railing and Officer Voge! was unable to loosen his vice-like grip The chief came to his assistance and they finally succeeded in getting the old fellow as far as the Wilbur house. At this point he made another desper- ate stand. He struck out with both hands and at the same time got both feet in motion. He executed a num- ber of maneuvres in rapld succession and the officers were compelied to act on the defensive After a struggle which lasted for nearly five minutes they succeded in getting a pair of bracelets on their prisoner. The old fellow, however, was still game. He had the use of his legs and he used them: with good effect. Finally the chief grabbed one leg and Officer Vo- gel the other and during the remainder of the trip to the lockup the old fel- low’s head was nearest the ground He was placed in one of the cells and iater in the evening Justice Nel- son assessed him with a fine of two dollars and costs. Friends paid the fine and costs, but after he was re- leased the old fellow was still bel- ligerant, and his friends had to take him to his home by main force. Officers Walsh and Vogel declare that the old fellow put up a fight that fairly amazed them OLD RESIDENT DIED THIS MORNING. Stewart R.

NES UK Suflicient Reasons Why the Public Should Leek Upon Mining Stocks With Suspicion. The World's Work for Jasuary, in which there is no more reliable pub- fication In this country, in an article eutitied "The Innocent Investor and the Mining Boom,” gives the foliow- ing good and sufficient reasons why the public, or at any rate that part of the public which has small savings Ww invest, should not under any cir- cumstances purchase mining stocks. t1} Out of every hundred mining stocks that are advertised for sale, gol more than five represent mioes which are actually producing gold, sliver or copper; and out of these five ool more than ote or (wo will ever produce enough Ww pay dividends on stock or give any permanent value 0 those stocks i2}) The laws of the states iu which 99 per cent of those companies Operate are pot sufficiently strict against actual Traud, against the is- sue of stock ou alleged mines which do not exist at all Hundreds of stocks are created every year, and sold as mining stocks, which have no mining proprety behind them at all ' (3) In 99 cases out of every huun- dred, these stocks must be bought al- most entirely on the “say-so” of pro- moters themselves interested in stocks, and without the chance of an actual personal investigation of the property represented. Even if such examination be possible, the non ex- pert can learn nothing whatever from the investigation of a mining claim or even an open mine (4) When mining stock booms oc- cur, they are inevitably led by new stocks. The small stocks which you bought in the boom of 1900 were hard- ly heard in the boom of 1906. The “Popular” list of 1900 on the Colorado Springs Exchange Is now showing prices from 50 per cent to 99 per cent lower than on 1500 (6) The whole business of promot- ing mining stocks Is on a moral plan extremely low The old adage that a Western mine Is “a hole in the ground with a liar on top” holds good rermparkably large proportion of Cases (6) Emotion plays too large a part in the business of mining stocks. En- thusiasm, lust for gain, gullibility are the real basis of this trading. The sober common sense of the (ntelli- gent business man has no part In such investments (7) If you buy a prospect that turns out well, the chances are still against your ever enjoying the fruits of this success. In a large majority of cases, the people whose money first opened up the great successful mines of Montana, Arizona, Colorado, and Roseland were “shaken out” as soon as possible after the promoters of the mines discovered that the mines were really rich in copper, gold or sil- ver. You, as a small stockholder, cannot know whether the mine be successful except as the officers are willing to tell you. In three cases out of four they will not tell you of suc- cess until they have “gathered In” as much of the stocks as they can in- duce you to sell (8) The information contalocd In the prospectus of a mining company Is generally all the Information you will ever get. Out of a list of ten stocks largely adverttised in one New York paper in the boom of 1300 it is now impossible to find trace of eight stocks. One of the others Is listed as a fake. The stock of the tenth is selling at 2 cents per share. It was sold to the public In 1300 at a dollar BRIDGE WORKER INSTANTLY KILLED.
