says:
"But there is one thing certain,

terprise who have money and they

they have already invested in the

the matter since the suit was begun.

could not realize that the men who
are pushing the claims against the
mines would do so.

STOCK MANIPULATION
WILL RUIN A GOOD NINE

The Boston Journal for Investors
publishes the following significant
hosiery OF an unnamed mine. that
suggests a case or two Of local stock
manipulation:
II occasionally happens that the
price Of a stock may run to low
figure without any apparent reason
therefor. We have in mind the case
OF company which purchased a
splendid property aud paid for 1t in
stock until the company was on u
solid financial basis. The property
was developsd 'at an expenditure Of
many thousand dollars, a mill wss
erected aud production begun. Elk.
cellent results followed and the
price Of the stock rose rapidly from
20 cetns to SO cents, there being
many purchases on the curb at As
cents. When the persons who sold
the property found this out they
began Immediately to unload. The
large stockholders and the officers Of
the company attempted to cover these
sales for u while, and did succeed
in taking care Of about 100, 900
shares. Still the former owners Of
the property kept on forcing out
their stock until they put over
200, 900 shares on the market. As
result the price dropped steadily
from 40 cents to between 8 cents aud
10 cents a share. Then, frightened
ut the result of their own actions,
these sellers begged the officers OF
the company to do something In
order to prevent the wholesale raid
on the company's shares. The
officers of the company explained
to these men that they were paying
for their own fool hardness
and that nothing could be done,
although, rs u matter Of fact. a
reorganization was finally effected.
aud In time the company will un.
doubtedly continue to prosper.
Any investor who was fortunate
enough to buy up any of this stock
ut eight cents or ten cents per share
will undoubtedly profit largely by
the transaction. although at the time
II WAS doubted II they would be sue
cessful in getting their money back.
or course the situation was a little
hard on the original stock holders,
but they will secure good returns In
the future. because of the excellent
manner in which the affairs of the
concern are being conducted.

ing late Developments, the Herald
says:
Creditors Of G. Il. Wade, the re.
Gently deposed cashier Of the First
National bank, Of Pendleton, with
claims aggregatinR $50, 200, have
filed a petition In the United States
district court asking that Wade be
declared a bankrupt and that his
financial affairs be taken from the
trustees named In his assignment aud
placed In charge Of receiver to be
appointed by the court. Service
WAS made on Wade ut Pendleton Sat.
urday.
The petition IL the outcome OF dis
satisfaction with the management Of
Wade's affairs by II. G. Taylor and
w. +. Matlock. the trustees whom
he designated In his assignment u
few weeks ago. The petition openly
charges that the claims Of preferred
creditors have been met without pro-
portiOnate settlement of other claims.
II also declares that at the time the
trustees took the affairs In hand
assets of 100000 were available.
Now, IL declares the amount has con
siderably diminished aud that liabil-
ties To the extent Of 5000, 600 have
loomed up.
The petition points out the fact
that after Wade's affairs were turned
over to the trustees, Wade n Co.. of

principal partner, executed u chat

against Wade IL that of Joseph Ney,
an illiterate stockman, who supposed
that he had an account Of $40, 900 in
Wade's bank, but discovered that he
owed note Of 81. 900 instend.

In fact, Americans, so FAR as buSl-
ness enterprises and the money invest
ed In them are concerned, have larger
interests in Korea than all the other
nations combined. Americans con-
structed and sold to the Japanese the
Chemulpo-Seoul railroad. Americans
constructed for the Korean Govern
ment land have not yet been entirely
paid for the same) the electric rail
way in the city Of Seoul itself, and
some eighteen or twenty miles OF sub
urban roads. Americans have also con-
ucled lighting plants for the city
of Seoul, and are investing In the de-
velopment Of water system for the
capital. Americans import into Korea
immense quantities OF kerosene oil, OF
GAINED goods, and OF cotton cloth.
Americans own, in association with
English and French capitalists, the
largest single enterprise in Korea, and
one of the largest in Asia,--a mining
concession in the northern part OF
Korea. American missionaries, also,
are doing magnificent work In Korea.

his sanity.

questioned about it at that time said
he was backiring. While not actual

fires with intent to destroy property
of Mr.. Fleisher, the evidence indica'
ted such a fact, and 1t seems that the
neighbors are fearful regarding the
safety of themselves and property.
The jury found Mr.. Athey not In
sane but dangerous when drunk. HI
was therefore discf arged from the
accusation of insanity. He was taker
