THE wO0DyILLE ACCUSED.

In referring to George NJ. Pinney
and the Mahogany" swindle, the
Oakland Nsms, OF the 9th, thus refers
to the Woodville Mining Company.
We do not know how much or how
little truth the article contains. Who
does?
Apparently, the same game has
been played with the Woodville.
This mine is near Silver City. New,
and more than one year ago had de.
veloped a large body of ore. Other
ground, or conflicting, or trumped
up titles, were bought up, and the
stock watered. 1t is now shown that
100000 have been paid in assess
ments, and some Sl60,09O taken out
OF the mine. Another assessment is
pending and stock holders have com
mencei an inquiry to learn what has
become of all the money that these
immense figures represent. They
say that all TO be seen of the expen
ditures are the hosting works, a
shaft, and some slight workings, and
tools, all of the estimated cost Of
| $40 600, the estimate undoubtedly
being too low. The reports of large
quantities Of ore in the mine are we'll
authentica; ed, and stock holders have
right to expect dividends rather
than assessments. The mine cannot
properly be denominated "wildcat"
although the management evidently
is of that character. A few of such
managers should be sent TO the state
| Prison and probably the fascination
of such games would be destroyed,
and it is to be hoped Investigations
undertaken by the stock helders may
place the swindle where it belongs
and punish the guilty. The common
ethics of the street is to justify any
swindle made in stock dealing, and
many of the millionsires of this, and
other countries, owe their wealth to
such transactions. Mining is legiti-
mate business, and when well con.
Quoted is one of the most profitable
10 individuals engaged in it, and
beneficial to the country of any
out tHO
in the management, fostered by the
stock boards, has brought it into dis
repute so that the best bankers and
most careful business men will have
nothing to do with it. To stop the
rascally management, Judges and
juries should exercise discretion in
reading the laws and rendering yer
diets, so that technicalities nor OBJ
scure statutes could save the swim
dler from punishment, and rs tho
case viii, probably offer in the Wood
vile let an example be made.
