pany Is able to make an issue of de-
bentures which are sold exclusively
in France and which comply fully
with the requirements of the law in
regard to taxation. 1t is not neces-
sary to list or pay taxes upon the
varied lot of securities which lie be-
hind the debentures. This is the
method of attracting French capital
which has been adopted by the Spey-
er syndicate.
Notwithstanding devices of this
sort the taxes imposed upon the list
ing and sale of securities on the
Paris Bourse have begun to be felt
upon the economic progress of
France. 1t has been known for sew
eral years that thrifty French in
vestors transferred both their secur-
ity holdings and their bank accounts
to the foreign branches of the Credit
Lyonnais and other French banks
principally in Brussels and Geneva.
Just how far this process has gone
in reducing the visible wealth of
France was recently brought out De
Foville, the eminent French econom-
list, in an article in L'Economist
Francois. He showed that the an
nual average amounts passing
through the tax Office under the sue
cession tax had fallen from $780,
100000 francs for the five years end
ing with 1895 to 6,S69, 100000
francs for the five years ending with
1900, and to 6,4S9, 100000 for the
four years ending with 1904. With
out by any means adopting the con-
clusion that this marked decline in
the average property assessed for
succession taxes was due exclusively
to the taxes on securities. NJ. de Fo-
Vile declared:
The legislator has shown himself
for the last ten years so severe, even
malevolent, toward capital under all
.orms, that many capitalists have
sought to put themselves beyond the
reach of his pursuit. The foreign
banks have opened their doors and
their valuts eagerly to the fugitive
millions, and certain projects which
are being announced may intensity
still further this centrifugal move
ment, which would naturally contri-
butte a certain measure to the impair
ment of the estates subject to assess
ment."
The prospect is not unfavorable,
then, for the flow of many millions of
French money into American securi-
ties II American enterprises and

few cents an hour to juggling with
millions 10 years later is trans
formation so rapid and so great as to
seem almost impossible; and yet
there Is at this moment staying In
London a lady who has accomplished
II.
Mrs. Ella Reader. OF New York,
has only counted 81 summers, and Is
described as pretty. gentle woman
and almost the last person In the
world one would take for financier.
And yet among other Titanic feats of
the last few years she has organized
a 22,000.000 railway In opposition
to ]. Pierpont Morgan; she has won,
against a powerful competition,
concession for railway In Johore;
has fought and is still fighting Presi-
dent Roosevelt for concessions In
Santa Domingo valued at 100000

can revolution over her breakfast
table. What gigantic schemes Mrs.
Reader Will have undertaken by the
time she is so one dare not even
conjecture. but It is safe to say that

she has already proved her title to
rank among the worlds greatest
ananciers.
But Mrs. Reader. clever and dar-
ing as she Is. has a formidable rival
in Mrs Hermann Oelriehs, an Amer
ican lady, who three years ago revok-
ed the power of attorney given to her
husband and took her business af-
fairs into her own capable hands.
AT the time Mrs. Oelrichs. who is a
daughter of the late Senator Fair, of
California, was reputed to be worth
$40, 100000, and so brilliant and
successful were her speculations In
railway shares that within two
years she trebled her capital, "coin-
ing money" at the rate of 100000
900 year.
Much better known than either of
the foregoing women of business is
Mrs. Hettie Green, who is probably
the richest woman in the world.
Apart from her business, Mrs. Green
has no interest In life. She lives in
a small fiat. the whole of the furni-
ture of which is said to be worth no
more than $50 note; she does her
own .marketing, carrying home her
purchases, and is her own maid-of-
all work, and yet every year she is
adding to her clossal fortune round
IS, 100000, the result of her shrwed
speculations. Today her fortune
cannot be less than s50,0O0,000 and
by some Is placed as high as $780,
100000.
Another remarkable business
woman is Mrs. Richard King, owner
of the famous Santa Gertrude's
ranch-a ranch so vast that It is
bounded on one side by 40 miles of
coastline, while inland 1t is girded

From Mrs. Kings front door she has

boundary of her estate; she is mis-
tress OF 100000 cattle; employs an
army of 800 cowbays, for whose use
1900 PONIES are kept, and her yearly
profits run into six figures.
But Mrs. King must look to her
laurels. for she has in her own field
a dangerous competitor In Mrs. Nat

BLEW UP THE MINE
Man Who Did the Work Goes With

An inquiry was made by Justice
maynard and a jury consisting OF
James Brown, David j. Cook ana
Floyd Atkinson, into the giant pow
der explosion at the Siebert mine on
February 24th. The ground was gone
over very carefully and number of
witnesses examined by the judge, and
the trend of the testimony produced
went to show that it was caused by
Charles Roberts, who had been TO-
merly employed at the mine. He had
been working in the employ of the
company, but for reasons best known
to the foreman, Roberts and his part
ner, a man named Wilson, were laid
off, to which they took exceptions,
and in a spirit of revenge Roberts
went to the mine, knowing the Law

GOLDEN JUBILEE
Virginia City Planning for the Big
Time

The Western Nevada midsummer
celebration will be held at Virginia
this wear. For several months the
matter has been under consideration
on the Comstock and last evening
number of prominent citizens issued
call for a mass meeting to be held
next Monday evening to take steps
necessary to such a Celebration.
MAY BE GOLDEN JUBILEE
The people of the Comstock are op-
posed to holding a street fair or car
nival, most of them favoring a golden
Jubilee of the Comstock's discovery
They argue, however. that Virginia
cannot afford to give such celebra-
ton except in a fitting manner and
therefore the matter of cost and funds
will have to be seriously considered.
There is every indication that the
celebration which will be early in
July, will be a Comstock jubilee
and that it will be one of the create )!
ever held in the State.
Reno, Carson, Sparks and the other
Western Neada cities recognize Vir-
ginia's claim to the celebration this
year and there will be no public func
ton in any of these cities that will in
terfere.
