No Advertising Accepted for First Page ASSESSABLE MINING STOCK WE NOTE that Mining Truth of Spokane is campaigning for a revival of the assessable stock plan for mining corporations. In this connection Engineering and Mining Journal Press comments as follows: The recent ruling of the New York Curb Association against the listing of assessable stocks is of interest to mining companies. Mining companies whose stock was assessable were once very common; but in many oases the system was abused by those who held control of the company's policy, and the situation degenerated into what was plainly called by them a game of "freeze-out." Every time a new assessment was declared, a certain margin of discouraged stockholders refused to pay, and thereby forfeited their stock, which made the shares of those who were still in so much more valuable. But at the next assessment another outside ring of clinging stockholders was jarred loose, while the real insiders fattened thereby. Meanwhile, the stock was judiciously traded in and maneuvered on the stock exchange, new buyers came along, speculating, buying for a rise, and thereby a new crop of stakers was ready for the assessment. In some cases mines were kept open and run for many years by systematic assessments, these paying for the salaries of the controlling ring and for the deficits in mining operations. These were losing enterprises, which cn a strict business basis would have been shut down. Some of the companies operating on the Comstock Lode are examples. The investor who hopes to make money out of mining profits ���if there be any so guileless���had about , ball in Hades Such instances as we have sketched above were perhaps the exception, but they were common enough to call for the nonassessable stock plan, which would guarantee the investor at least a certain nonforfeitable equity in consideration of money invested. This equity may be and often is a vanishing one, in the hands of skilled jugglers of corporations; nevertheless, it does not disappear with the disconcerting suddenness and thoroughness of the equity represented by assessable stock. And by the process of evolution, because the public refused to buy assessable stock, the promoter has turned almost entirely to non-assessable stocks. On the other hand, it is easy to see that in certain conditions and in the hands of the right people, the assessable stock has advantages. If a group of people with their eyes open go into a mining enterprise with the intention of staying with it to the end, and with their eyes open agree to assessments ad libitum, then the problem of continued capital for continued operations is an easy one; and those financial crises, so ruinous to the stockholders' interests, which so often afflict the non-assessable mining stock, are avoided, Moreover, the financial history of many mining stocks has shown that asses- able mining stocks have been the basis of numerous successful ventures after one or more assessments. The great Homestake mine in South Dakota levied one assessment before it became a profitable gold producer; the Tintic Standard mine in Utah, levied not fewer than 19 assessments before it, too, went over the top. The purchase of non-assessable stock is no more protection against fraud than a purchase of the assessable variety. Both may be manipulated before and after they are issued. In the last analysis the honesty and reputation of the people behind the company is the best guarantee the stockholder can have. tribute our kicks otherwise. MINERAL ACT. Certificate of Improvements.

So long as history consists of a record of wars, so long as the Bible is largely a recounting of battles, and so long as history is studied and the Bible is read by the young, just -so long will wars continue. Burn all the histories and issue new ones, telling about industrial and social progress; call in all the present existing Bibles and print revised editions with the thrilling stonVs of Gideon and Joshua, of David and Goliath, *f Sampson and his jaw-bone, deleted; destroy all the novels with battle scenes depicted; and then, perhaps, in a hundred years or so, the young people, having never heard of fighting on a large scale, will be content to confine this form of amusement te personal encounters in thevback alley. Pity we didn't think of this while the contest for the Nobel Peace Prize was still open. The prize would have come to Stewart.
