liked the sort of publicity that makes
q market for low priced shares among
the glillible public. That brought up
the mention of George Graham Rice,
alias Herzig, alias Shefftels, who, un
der various guise, developed the
game" to the point where the govern
ment found it necessary to afford him
the restricted hospitality of one Of Its
official residencea. He is the great
protagonist Of the mining game am
of those press activities that beguile
the public by means Of piffle plentifu:-

can capitalize a proximity by ped

can. 1t Is done daily with great sue
cess. From a few cents the shares of

dollars on the strength Of the flap

We quote these views in no frivolous

II Cornishman of the old-fashionea
kind were to visit Nevada he would
find that mining" does not signify the
same kind Of thing al Goldfied and at
Carnborne. In the heyday Of the Corn
nish tin industry 1t was the custom
for a number of men TO start a mining
enterprise on the basis of joint liabii-
ity and assessment, the working ca
ttal being called-up as required. THIS
was known as the cost-book system,
which has now been discarded for him
tied liability and the joint-stock COM
pany The operators were called "ad-
venturers" and they constituted sort
of private syndicate for the explora-
ton Of mine. In the early days or
the Comstock, a subdivision of inter-
est was effected by dividing the prop
erty into shares equal In number to
the feet measuring the length along
the lode. Dealings took place In
feet" not shares. Later 1t became
convenient to sub-divide the holdings
still further, so the share" idea was
developed, until the ownership was
spread among million or more units.
That facilitated gambling, by decreas-
ing the value of the counters In the
game until policemen and servantrgirls
could participate freely. Thus the
"mining game" was evolved. At first
crude and clumsy, 1t has been devol-
oped- into complicated activities In
volylng the exchanges and the press in
a business Of far-reaching magnitude.
OF course, the whole system Is alien
to the ideas of the mining profession
or OF the real exploiters Of mineral de-
posits, not of other peoples pockets.
1t Is a condition and not theory; as
such 1t should be recognized and
studied. During a recent visit to Ne
yada we discussed the question with
sindry persons engaged in the bust
ness. from tipsters on the train to
managers Of big mines. For instance
an intelligent young man complained
that the management of the Nevada
Wonder mine was too conservative;
the Philadelphia controller Of this sue
cessful property never let anything
out; there was nothing doing in the
speculative way" To our informant
1t seemed desirable "to create inter
est" Another company the Tonopah,
did the right thing" so he said, be-
cause they gave out a good deal about
the mine" Finally, he sat back and
concluded with the assertion; What
is wanted is publicity" On cross
examination we ascertained that he
felt aggrieved because his Nevada
Wonder shares ranged in quotation
from s1.75 to $3.50 only. That afford
ed q dull market. He had no reason
to believe that good news concerning
the mine was withheld by the man
agement or that any attempt at a
freeze out" was being made. No. he
simply objected to the lack of "specu-
lative interest" in the stock. In short.
he thought himself entitled to expect
that the management would publish
information calculated to excite active
dealings, resulting in wild imitation
Of tho quotations. That was his kick
