IMrs J. BWDDLECOMBE (ILII TO INVEST. Interview with Mr Geo. E.Oasey M. P.—Advantages of De- velopment Companies. Good times coming The issue of The St. Thomas Journal of February 4 oontained an interesting inter- view with Mr George E. Casey, M.P. for West Elgin. After stating his conviction that the prospects for better times are ex- cellent, and that the activity in capital will run ohiefly in the line of mining, Mr Casey was asked if he were satisfied that the districts in whioh the mining boom is now on can sustain a permanent industry. "That," said he, "i9 just the question I put to Sir W. O. Van Horne, President of the Canadian Pacific, a few weeks ago, in refer- ence to the building of the Crow's Nest Pass Railway. He proceeded to uncork for my benefit, stores of information not avail- able to the general public, which quite con- vinced me on that point. Nobody can be better informed than the C.P.R. people as to what exists in that Kootenay country. They are willing to risk millions of their own capital on their own conviction that its minerals and the population attracted by them will afford business for a series of costly mountain railroads. This was what finally convinced me that there was a solid hairiness foundation for the beeiness in that quarter, and decided me to tahp an in- terest in mining mows." After explaining; that Hinny Havas a behtp- under more stable 'conditions than the Winnipeg land boom, Mr Casey emphasized the need for being beware of wild• -oaten Asked if there is no way for investors Who cannot afford to buy a whole mine to share in the profits, be replied :— "Yes, several. They can join a syndi- cate of half a dozen or so who have control of a mine or prospect. This is all right if they know the property and their associ- ates. Those are pretty big ifs sometimes. Or they can -buy shares in a company which has been floated by such a syndicate to work a particular claim or claims. Here again they must depend on personal or hearsay knowledge of the property. The syndicate in these cases generally retains a oontrolling interest in the stock, and conse- quently, the largest share of the profits. It is the syndicate who make the big end of the pile. Then there is what may be called co- operative mining. This implies the forma- tion of a considerable capital, by the sale of shares, for investment in mining proper- ties—just as the capital of a loan company is formed for investment in mortgages. This oapital belongs to the whole of the shareholders, and is invested, as in the other case, by the officials of the company, under expert advice, legal and otherwise. They are generally called development companies. "In the first place, all the investors are not put into one basket. The company se- cures working options on many claims, on the best advise, and ascertains their value by exploration before buying. Some will turn out worthless, perhaps, just as a loan company makes a bad loan once in a while. But the lossiu one case or the other does not embarrass the investor. It would be only the cost of exploration, anyhow. The loan company makes better profits, on the aver- age than the private lender, and the devel- opment company will, similarly, do better than the private investor. With its large capital it can secure the services of experts and can buy properties on the ground floor, making the same large profits out of them as the syndicates referred.to. It has a large reserve of treasury stock to enable it to pick up any snaps that are offered. It sends out prospectors in new fields, and gets claims for the expenses of location. In short, it offers probably fifty chances of striking a paying mine to one that is offer- ed by any other plan. And one such strike would make its whole stock very valuable. It has the advantage to the in- vestor over a mere mining company that dividends are paid only on the shares sold ; the unsold shares belong to the company as a whole and not to "the man in the cellar." It is a praotioal certainty that a company with ample capital and advised by the best posted people can get a mine among all the chances offered it. As a matter of fact a great deal of the development of mining in South Africa, the States and British Columbia is owing to companies of this kind." "Can ouch a company be chartered un- der the Ontario laws with power to issue unassessable eharee?" "Yes, and some have such charters. It is a great point in the company's ' favor or that its charter should be under our own laws, and its head office in our own coun- try. There are several developdbent com- panies before the Canadian public already, started under the auspices of provisional directors of considerable' influence, and with snoh reputations to lose that they dare not countenance anything shady. I am not puffing one over another, but am very strong in the belief that ouch compan- ies offer the safest investment for people of moderate capital, and withcnt personal knowledge of mining properties." Mr Casey further stated that he believed it wee certain that the Crow's Nest Pase Railway will be built soon. He concluded by expressing his confidence that the Rainy River country will develops as rap- idly as British Columbia. The Ontario Gold Fields Mining and Development Oc'y, Limited,,' Is incorporated under the lawn of the Province of Ontario. The directorate is oomposed of men of unquestioned integrity 'and business ability. The manager, Mr E. Wallace, is a practi- cal mining engineer of .many years experi- ence. Properties already acquired end be- ing developed are proving so valuable that the Company feel justified this week in ad- vancing the price of shares to 20o. The advertiser having secured a large block of the first lame of shares, will for a few days, offer them in blocks not lees than 100 at 1 Se a share, and so confident is the vendor of the success of thie Company and the increasing value of its stock, that any subscriber to the present offering—may at any time within 60 days of date of pur- ohase, if dissatiefled with his investment, surrender his certificate, and the parohase money will be cheerfully refunded. Investors are thus protected for 60 days, and it is expected that at that time shares in this company will be eagerly sought for at 25o each. Only ten thousand shares will be sold at 150 eaoh, and requests for stook will be filled in the order in which they are re - received.

OUIMETTE, i Loliidafsu rx 0 THE MILITIA, To tke Editor of the .New Era, Deer Sur --.In my letter, entitled "De- fence, not Defiance," you have apparently misunderstood me. I do not take issue with you as to whether the present militia system is de beet that could prevail or not; that, of course, must always bo a matter of opinion. In your notes at the bottom of my letter you acknowledge that the militia is of unquestionable serVice to the oivil power, and secondly that you were premature in Baying the force should be dis- banded. These are the two points on which I take issue with you, and when you ack- nowledge this you must surely acknow- ledge that you were wrong in your issue of Feb. 5th, in advocating the abolition of the whole militia system. Your mention of the 7th Batt. being dispanded has nothing to do with the question. All battallions are' drsbanded when they become inefficient and this is usually the fault of the officers. In the laet 88 years Canada has organized and equipped 96 battallions of infantry and rifles, (not including cavalry and artillery,) and in all those years only four have dis- appeared; they beoame inefficient and were disbanded for that reason only. You would not call this a decay of the military spirit. To be a loyal nation we must foster the military spirit, and when people pray for the Lord to hasten the time when swords will be beaten into plows and spears into reaping hooks, they really pray that the Lord will hasten his second advent. I have the honor to »e, respeptfully yours, Codtglt, Capt. 33rd Batt. tilde cliselis6iHd ld )6igely a matter of opinion An the opinion Of the esteemed captain of the 88rd Battallion, it is necessary to keep up the Military spirit. In our opinion the tendency of the time is against it. Wo think the force could be materially reduced without affecting its efficiency, except in point of numbers. Mr Combe evidently thinks not. If it is necessary to keep up a force of 06 battallions, why not 196? If Mr Combo's argument is good, the lar- ger the force the greater the rower, then the disbanding of any part of the force means that the civil power is weakened to that exten'. It does not matter particularly why the 7th lett. is disbanded; according to our correspondent's argument the civil power will be weakened at London by this disbandine—a position very few would care to assume, It the four companies mentioned by Mr Combe disappeared, and were not re -organized, it certainly proves that the country was able to get along without their assistance, We think our correspon- dentis in error when he Bays:—"To be a loyal nation we must foster, a military! spirit." Wo don't accept any such• statement, nor does his tory prove it. No more loyal people than the Friends. (commonly called Quakors,)ever lived, but they did not tester the military spirit; war, to them, was repulsive, as well it might be. Loyalty implies obedience to the civil power. The last senceuce of Mr Combo's letter is a sin- gular remark for a gentleman to maks, who lie ene1 to Bishop Baldwiu's excellent sermon on Sunday night.—Naw ERA. I3ORN.
