Balance in favor of the investment. S11 SOC, 600

Balance in favor Of the investment 511 500 600
Unfortunately, as is well known, no
such balance was returned by the mines
in question, but the cause of the fail
ure can in every case, be correctly at
tributed to either swindling on the part
Of the vendors Of the property, by
which purchasers paid from three to
five times the actual value, or else to
incompetent, reckless, and wild man
agement on the part of the agents of
the same. At this late hour the story
is an old one, and need not be recapitu-
lated. We who have lived on the field
for years, know by heart the business !;
Of the fraudulent representations made
by sellers to Eastern men, of the creduli-
tyshown by the buyers, who have them
selves very largely to blame in the mat
ter OF the incompetent agents who we're
sent out from the East to manage a
business concerning which they were as
ignorant as it were possible they could
be; and of the consequent reckless
expenditures Of money in costly mills
for which there was no call, and in
patent processes of no metallurgical
merit. Slowly the country is emerging
from the discredit brought on by these
failures Though the same thing is being
repeated to-day in a few instances),
and interest is again being shown in
the working of these valuable proper
ties; but the growth of public opinion
on the subject is slow, and needs to be
fostered by every means at our COM
mand.
A detailed examination of the mines
included in the foregoing list will show
a line of properties the value Of which
it is difficult to overestimate, and which
compare favorably with those of any
other mineral district in the United
States. The Ophir, Quartz Hill, and
Colorado Mining Companies, which
own respectively 80, 200, and 1852 feet
on the Burroughs lode, near Central,
had extracted from their various claims
prior to 1867, about $3.50, 900, the differ
ent claims having been opened at that
time to the extent of 1920 feet, by
shafts and drifts. These companies,
owing to enormous expenses and costly
workings, were compelled to cease
operations as far back as 1868, since
which time they have done little or
nothing.

Money Musk.

Like Moses basket stranded there
On the brink of Father Nile.

MILLIONS FOR MINING.
Where the Money Went to i'm Early Days
Tho Holes that Swallowed it up
Reckless Waste of Capital.
From the Denver (Col.) News.

From the Denver (COl.) News.
A writer in the Mining Review, Of
Georgetown, gives some very interest
ing facts touching the waste of money
on Colorado mining enterprises in years
past. He ascertains that, during the
time from 80 to '66, the nominal capt.
tai subscribed by New York alone was
about $4S, $780, 900, distributed among
the following well known companies:
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1874-09-02

OF this amount, 40 per cent. was
paid down in the actual cash or,
in round numbers, the sum of twenty
millions of dollars subscribed by New
Workers alone, had been expended up
on mining claims up to the year 1866.
It is interesting to know what was pur-
chased with all this money. The pro-
perty thus acquired is located about as
follows : $4,000 feet in Gilpin County
gold district 5000 feet in Boulder and
Clear Creek Counties, and 1000 feet
which can't be found, and probably
never existed. In order to work the
ore that was to be produced from these
mines, stanp-mills having an aggregate
capacity of 500 tons per day, and cost.
ing not less than 50, $50, 900, were erect
ed, and other mills, intended to employ
the various patent processes that were
before the public in early days, at
cost Of about 100000. In addition
to this, improvements in the way of
shafts, drifts, tunnels, permanent hoist
ing, pumping, and ore-dressing houses
upon the surface, were made, valued
altogether at about $14, 900, 600. The
balance-shcet of New York investors in
Colorado mines would therefore make
a showing something ike the follow

Brokers at the Stock hoard.

The par price for membership of the Phila-
delphia Board Of Brokers Is $1,000. The pre-
sent number Of seats Is one hundred and nine-
ty-ei2ht, and no others are attainable under
at which an occasional share from death or
resignation OF q member comes on the market,
the buyer paying to the Board $3.50 additional
as transfer fee. Thus the Board now repre-
sents market capital of some three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. While these shares
have value to holders. aud may, with the
approval Of the Board, be sold and transferred
they are not property amenable to the claims
of creditors outside the Board. Any member
free from claims of members, arising under
the rules OF the Board. may hold his seal, though
declared bankrupt to all the rest of the
world. We notice In this connection that at
New York on Saturday member Of the
Stock Board there was expelled for dlvid-
ing his commissions on purchases with =
person who was not member of the Stock
Board. When 1t Is remembered that the price
Of membership In tine New York Board IS

seen, Is very severe one. Dismissal IS the
penalty, for a like offence by member of the
