Consolidated Virginia have always been
known reached their highest valuation in
the San Francisco market on the 9th of
January, 1915. Each mine was then Iii.
vided into 10000 shares, and California sold
at $50 per share, and Consolidated Vir.
GINA at $40 per share. Subsequently, both
mines were divided into 5i0,0 shares each,
and they have ever since sold on the same
basis. This is equivalent to Sl56 for Cali.
fornia and Slf for Consolidated Virginia.
No one would have thought that in seven
years from that time California would be
selling at 10 cents per share, and Consoli.
dated Virginia at so cents per share, but
that Is the record. California is now selling
for only one.third of the assessment money
collected n few weeks ago.
