to see that stock listed The fact is
that the directors of the Rawhide
Coalition Mines company have decid-

expense of maintaining transfer Of
fces. Rawhide has one of the most
sensational records of any mining
stock OF present times. 1t was float
ed by Nat c. Goodwin, the actor and
a number of his friends got in when
Rawhide sold around s1.40 a share.
1t dropped over 100 per cent over

government got after B. F. Sheftels &
Company, the New York brokers who
specialized in Rawhide, the issue had
another slump, going down as low as
three cents.
