HOW CORPORATIONS Do MULTIPLY.
Articles Filed in Three Days at the
Capitol.
Corporate Bodies Organized to Engage
In Wide Variety of Under
takings.

In the good old Comstock mining
days, between 1865 and 1876, when all
Washoe stocks were booming, wildcat
mining companies were being daily in
corporated by the dozens in San Fran
cisco. A few printing offices that made
a speciality of printing certificates
coined money at that work for years,
and the Notaries were kept busy taking
the affidavits of men interested in get
ting up the companies.
There are even now a great many
companies being incorporated, but they
are not nearly all for mining purposes.
