"Coppering" the Proposition

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: Californians and many others
will recollect that during the bonanza
times" of twenty years ago the mining
stock market of San Francisco was
largely under the control of Jim Flood,
and that many spectators based their
investments upon points" conf1den-
TALLY received from those who were sup
posed to have some inside" informa-
ton from Flood himself, or from his old
associates Flood knew that he was
watched by eager spectators and he
played his game accordingly He said
little to anybody as to his knowl-
edge regarding the condition or pros
poets of this or that mine in which he
was interested, and when he gave any
information at all it was with great Sc
crecy, and only in confidence, and rather
indirectly at that. Such information,
being entirely secret, was sure to be-
come-like a woman's secret-every-
bodys secret within a few hours, and
Flood was thus enabled to quietly un-
load or buy up, for his own benefit, any
stock upon which he had designs. The
men who got the points usually lost.
There was one man, however, accord
ing to story who made quite fortune
by getting all his points from Flood"
He was a personal friend Of the great
speculator and frequently went to him
for advice. Flood, as was his custom,
never gave him any direct advice, but
would in the course of conversation qui-
etly drop a hint that it might be good
idea to buy or sell, as the case might be.
such or such a stock; supposing, of
course, that his friend would swallow the
bait, as suckers generally. did. But this
fellow was sharp enough to do just ex-
actly the opposite to what Flood advised.
When Flood suggested that Ophir was
good stock to get rid of, he immedi-
ately bought up all the Ophir he could
pay for. When Flood hinted that Con.
Virginia was a good thing to buy, he
sold it short. He made a fortune by
thus "coppering" the points he got from
Flood
This story is recalled to my mind by
the following item in an evening paper
of last Monday:

serious matter with the e-great majority.
| 1t must be admitted that the railroads
are far more liberal in the matter Of ex-
cursion rates than they used to be. The
change has come, no doubt, since the
worlds fair at Chicago. 1t will be re-
membered that travel was very light
at first, and until the rates primarily in
force were materially lowered. The
railroads made more money hauling a
large number of people at low rate
than by hauling small number Of peo-
pie at high rate. Numbers Is the se-
cret of success in excursion travel. The
old adage that nimble sixpence is bet
ter than slow shilling was never more
true than it is at the present time. when
competition is so great and profits so
small.
Low rates are of especial benefit to CAL
ifornia. because we are so far from the
east that particular inducements must
be offered to persuade the people to
visit us. 1t is not that they do not care
to come, but that they cannot afford to
come at the regular rates.
No small proportion Of the people who
come to this state on a visit determine
to take up their residence here sooner or
later Tourists make very good class
Of permanent residents, and every COM
munity is glad to get them. or course
the railroads are benefited as much as
anyone by the influx of new settlers, and
there is no better means of attract
ing them here to spy out the land than
low excursion rates. California has
not In past years been as we'll treated
In this matter as many other states, and
the change in method on the part Of the
railroads Is very gratifying. It will
pay, and pay we'll.

The petition Of James It. Monk for a
writ of habeas corpus was yesterday
argued in the supreme court and taken
under advisement Monk is confined in
the county jail for contempt of court
for having failed to comply with an
order of the court to turn over to the
county recorder the records of his Of
fee as mining recorder of the Big Cot
tonwood mining district
Attorney J. A. Williams, in support
of the petition, raised two points to
sustain the contention that the law
passed by the late legislature requiring
mining recorders to turn over the rec
ords of the various mining districts to
the various county recorders. IS un-
constitutional. He contended first that
although the state has a right to make
general law requiring that mining
locations be recorded With the county
recorders. the miners of the several
mining districts have also 4 right, TO
make such laws and regulations in re-
gard to the records as they deem
proper provided that such are not con
trary to the laws of the state and of
the United States, and thus the state,
While having power to compel loca-
tons to be filed with the county re
corderS, has no power to take the rec
orls of the mining districts or pre-
vent the miners from keeping records.
The other point was that the last SIX
sections of the act are void because
the title of the act does not conform
to the substance of it, the act dealing
with more than one subject, which
subjects are not expressed in the title
and cannot be without violating the
state constitution
County Attorney Van Colt made the
arguments against the petition, after
which their honors took it under ad-
visement.
