country sends us by every steamer from
one to dozen friendlcss cirls, who have
been shipped here by faithess lovers to

daughters of our staggering Young re-

dollars of their dads to wed the moth
eaten suckers OF some great family tree.

A decision has Just been rendered by
the supreme court of Wisconsin in a
case growing out of the Gogebic min
ing boom which possesses peculiar in
~. e., IL
corporators of mining companies that
were intended to work" gullible in
vestors instead of iron ore deposits
while the mining craze started by John
+. Burton was running its course. Some
time aeo the Gogebic Investment COM
pany brought suit in the circuit court
of Milwaukee county against the Iron
Chief Aiming company and secured
Judgment against that company for
50 1882. The action was brought to re-
cover for loans made the defendant
company. An execution was issued,
and was returned unsatistied, where up
on suit was instituted against Herman
and Robert Nupnemacher and III. III.
Benjamin, of Milwaukee, to compel
them to pay the judgement, the plaintiff
corporation setting mp tho claim that
these parties had in their possession
money belonging to the Iron Chief COM
panv of which they were the principal
stockholders, the money belonging to il
that they were alleged to be posses e-sed
of being the difference b tween the face
value of the stock they had subscribed
for and the amount they had paid into
the treasury of the company On the
same. The defendants demurred to
the complaint. and the circuit court
sustained the demurrer. An appeal to
the supreme court was taken by the
plaintiff, and the latter tribunal has re-
versed the decision of the circuit court,
thereby establishing that subscribers to
the stock of an incorporated company in
Wisconsin can be held for the debts OF
the stock hat they hold This will prob
ally result in quitea crop of lawsuits in
that state to recover OH claims against
the wildcat companies organized under
the Wisconsin law during the existance
of the Gogehic craze. AS many of these
had among their stockholders respon5
sible persons who subscribed for stock
on which they paid but n small assess
ment Under the ruling Of the supreme
court they are liable for tho difference
between what they paid on their stock
and its face valae ON all legal claims
against the company. AS most of the
mining companies whose stock flooded
the market ut that time, piled up con-
siderable indebtedness while tho boom
lasted, and have since made no attempt
to settle it, the decision Of the supreme
court will make good many persons
who went into the Gogcbic stock specu-
lation with the expectation of making
big money out of it wish they had
never heard of the Gogebic range. or
dabbled in the stocks Of the rotten
mining companies that we're organized
in Wisconsin while the crazy mining
boom there was on. Mining Journal.
