Mining The Greatest Business.
The mining investment business is in
better shape today than it has been
in years. Listed stocks are the most
attractive to investors, but the straight
investments pat out by honest pro
motors oontinae to appeal to the more
conservative investors. What the
public wants is stock that can be sold
as well as bought. The investment
business in mining may be said to he
going through an educational period
which will resnlt in much good for the
industry. Mining is the greatest busi
ness in the world, and the honest pro
moters are educating the investing
public np to the fact.—Bonds and
Mortgages.
Congressman and Mrs. Humphries,
of the State of Washington, were in
town for a few hours yesterday, re
turning from a hunting trip on Kodiak
island. Mr. Humphries succeeded in
bagging four bears, and is very en
thusiastic over the trip.
Emersom Hough aDd wife passed
through yesterday on the Portland, en
route to the States. Mr. Hongh killed
some small bear and purchased some
large skins, so he will have trophies of
the hunt to show when he returns to
“civilization.”
