New York Mining Stock Board as coming advantage
10 this coasr OF there mines elsewhere
in which idle wealth OF the Atlantic seaboard can
invested; but Is very natural Tor California
Nevada to expect prominence IN the proposed
board, and It will unquestionabiy mako a demand
for Pacific stock the mine there ia to
be benefited for timo But, beyond the enjoyment
OF the FIRST expectations, there thinkers here who
not quite certain of the New York Mining Stock
Board being permanent advantage. To such persons
it becomes n question whether New York will control
San Francisco San Francisco control New York.
Did the boards operate at the time there could be
but little difference in daily figures, but with the
tion In time the New York board will be drawing to a
close as the San Francisco board will be just COM
mcncng its morning session. With the necessarily
greatly increased Of the wires between the two
cities there will hardly be any possibility
or question and answer during the sessions of
the two boards, and when storms interrupt CON-
munication the spectators at both ends OF the line
will find excellent opportun Of qualification. Those
who take unfav orable view Of the founding OF a
rival mining Board ir the East innumerabic diff
sultes in the way Of transferring stock &C. but with
The determination to succeed the obstacles will, no
doubt, vanish.
