COMBS DOWN FRISCO EXCHANGE

most reckless reports were sent in from
the front in ~profusion. When a good
strike really did occur in Nevada, the
dishonest brokers who operate in the
Frisco exchange, usually manipulate af-
fairs so as to absorb all the benefit from
the bona fde holders of the securities.
Subtle indeed is this species of rob-
berry, and we admit that 1T would be a
difficult matter to probe in the courts.
But the guilt is there just the same. and
we predict it will not be long until the
investors who have been clients of this
institution will thoroughly awaken to
the fact that they have been getting
the short end, and-well the San Fran
cisco stock exchange board may have
an opportunity to clean house when 1t
is too late.
What has been said of Frisco may,
in a measure, be said of other exchanges
in the West. though the Gate. city is
doubtless entitled to the palm. How
ever. we note with pleasure that there
is a good prospect for an early cleans-
ing of these rotten conditions and We
sincerely hope tina it will be before the
investing public has lost all confidence
in stock exchanges.-Financial Bulletin.

The grand jury in San Francisco which
has been pretty busy for some weeks
indicting grafters, in that corrupt,
though disconnected city. should not
consider its duties fulfilled until it has
given some attention to the operations
of the mining stock exchange there.
And perhaps If Official Prosecutor Heney
had an opportunity to scan the hori-
zon he would discern evidences of petty
graft other Than that concerned in the
street railways, telephone franchises,
etc.
The San Francisco Stock and Ex-
change board has. and to an extent per-
haps Willingly been carrying on the
most pernicious practices with which
the mining industry is infested, and
in the interest of common decency,
drastic measures shout be resorted to,
if necessary, to put a stop TO them.
1t has long been a perfectly simple
matter to secure the listing of the most
reprehensible wildcat companies on this
exchange. though we cannot imagine
how this could have been done except
with the c~onnivance of the officials in
charge. Wash" sales have been con-

matters which come before him for
settlement, one of which, a question Of
Jurisdiction of a county coroner on an
Indian reservation IN case OF violent
death, which Agent Downs, at Chey-

On this he holds that when the state
ceceded its jurisdiction in criminal cases

and places all such cases under federal
jurisdiction. Another matter was the
