“The Horne-Payné company. have ex-
| tended their operations all through Bri-
tish Columbia with dire results, all thie
having a bad effeet. Gross incapacity
in direction of affairs, total want of min-
ing dge and the ploy of

worse still the purchase of mining areas
without merita at big figures and the
set determination to wilfully throw
money away without even the slightest
possibility of any return, is the only
success that those directing this unfor-
tunate concern can boast of. Monu-
ments of failure where success waa im-
possible are distributed in various dis-
tricts, notably the Ilicillwaet, all contri-
buted by the Horne-Payne syndicate
and to the like concerne all: mining dis-
tricts are subject to bed odor. English
companies should use more diligence in
their choice of management and then
losses would be less.

“The above company haa evidently

been inaugurated to dispense with the
\company’s capital as quickly as possible
and with the least tangible resulta, and
this only needa inspection by any min-
ing authority to verify the statement,

to the dynasty relations between the
thrones of Austria and Spain.
