BORWAY TIMMINS, ONT. Monthly reports from all, the mines might be a convenience to the stock- brokers and to certain and uncertain newspapers, perhaps. But at the pre- sent moment they show no signs of being at ail to the public advantaige. Indeed, The Advance believes that any time monthly, or more frequent, reports are a real benefit to the share- holders and the public the mines (judging especially from the attitude ot the gold mines) will be found issu- ing them without any pressure except ests of the public to divulge prematu- rely. It is this premature information that vermin and uncertain newspa- pers love. The mining companies are performing a public service in pre- venting the improper use of facts and figures that would only confuse and misrepresent. It is a fact, as suggest- ed above, that mining companies gen- erally give more frequent public re- ports than any other Glass of corpora- tions in industry generally. Instead of being singled out for Government threats as to being forced to report more frequently, they might be held wins an example to other lines of in- dustry in the matter of being open and frank with shareholders and the public generally. Why, then, is there disposition at the present moment to bring pressure to bear on the mining: companies in regard to reports? 'l'here's, a reason ot"tourse. The truth is that a certain. or uncertain, 1'ohalt newspaper is at the bottom of all the frothy agita- tion,---an agitation in which the pu- blie does not seem to be interested, if a few disgruntled persons are except- ed. Apparently, the mining companies have found it necessary to keep this certainor uncertain Cobalt newspa- per out of their private affairs. The mining companies usually are very willing and courteous in giving any information desired by the press, but that,eevtain or uncertain newspaper must be a great trial. It 'has such a proper penchant to get things mixed and twisted and to misrepresent mat- ters, that in the public' interests the mines are quite right in si,iitholding otticial authority from any of its state ments. To illustrate, if a mine (a real miner-a gold mine) issued a re- port showing a profit of creditable size, successful working operations and pleasing state of f'1nanees, but in- eidentally referring: to its regret that an Jeident had occurred on the pro- 'perty at some time or another, the certain or uncertain newspaper would be sure to make a spread heading across the front wagcv--telling about the aeeident,---but giving little if any real idea of the condition of the. mine. Also, the mines suffer from the im- proper use of information given cer- tain or uncertain newspapers and naturally do not wish to place these certain or uncertain papers in position to make the false inform- ation or deductions appear oifieial.

He had several hnndred dollars in good hard cash and he took it all with him, intending to settle down in Rus- sia where, perhaps, he believed all the P,olslwvilti stories of a nice new heaven on,.earth for all working peo- ple.
