Here is an extract from “Stowe’s
“Survey of London,” a very famous old
Mook. “The third lane out of Tower

“Grapevine” Method of
Spreading News in City
In the neighborhood stores of the
“city there is an underground system
of communications that rivals the
ae signals of the African jungles.
News is spread here as rapidly as
“was the coming of the British when }
Paul Revere made his famous ride.
-A jesveler is robbed, and in no time
-all the shopkeepers of the neighborthood: know all-about it. They know
tthe details better. perhaps, then does
tthe victim himself.
The butcher, whose store is next to
ethe robbed jewelry store, runs half a
“plock. to tell his friend the delicates-sen proprietor. The latter dashes
salong to pass the news to the tobacco
~shopkeeper. And so it goes. But
“when three or more gather to discuss
4it, words of wisdom issue forth. How
sto catch the robber, how to avoid being
srobbed, where the jeweler failed to
ssafeguard his goods—nothing escapes
-attention. Most agree that the robbed
~one had too much money lying around
“and all agree they would not do so
sthemselves.—New York Times.
The Flanders Chain
“The “Flanders chain of geod luck”
«seems to exist in Scotland in a num%er of copies, and it appeals to some
tkind of superstition. I see that a
“COPY, emanafing from Rumania, is
«described as containing about eighty
mames, mostly foreign, on a type~written ‘carbon copy of foolscap, well
lled with the names and the appeal.
“The receiver is asked to make nine
ecopies and send them to friends,
~which would be not an indirect way
«of turning friends into enemies. And
the ‘further this document goes the
Wonger it grows. This is a pretty
-good guarantee of its early decease,
vespecially as there are no money
wrizes.—Weekly Scotsman.
Famous Beauty Is Hibiscus
‘It has been written of one of FlorGda’s wild flowers that it “is probably
‘the most gorgeous of all the plants
“4mdigenous to the United States.” This
superlative praise was given to a tall
thibiscus that opens crimson flowers
Wve to eight inches across, says Na‘ture Magazine. Like several other
-species of wild hibiscus, this crimson‘flowered one blooms in the borders of
sswamps in summer, at a time when
Yow grounds in many places are gay
swith the southern red lily, whose upsright solitary flower, of red and yellow
sepotted with purple, tops a stem set
~with many marrow erect leaves.

CALIFORNIA'S NEW
BLUE-SKY RULES
By Letson Balliet.
It is difficult for one to believe
that any “blue-sky” law could be
framed that would benefit mining.
California has put forth a ruling in
which I can see possibilities of great
advantage to legitimate promotion
and development of mineral resources. I am sure that no one interested in mining will criticize the
curbing of the illegitimate.
The ruling I refer to prevents all
, stock exchanges in California from
listing, quoting or trading in stocks
of unfinanced companies. 2
It looks like a tough one. But we
all have seen hundreds of impecuniized, and rush into the
where the promoters unload huge
bunches of personal stock, and the
company is never financed.
Keeps Free Stock Off Market
We have seen promoters hunt up
several prominent citizens, and give
them large blocks of free stock for
the use of their names as directors.
This stock is profit at any price, and
who sell it before the company is
financed, and then say, “I got out
before it failed.”
Such transactions are like giving
a gambling game, as a lure to bring

and say “It’s a gambling. game anyway.”
We have known of a prominent
man being given as high as 200,000
shares.for the use of his name, when
the name was big enough, and have
seen such a man hand the stock to
his broker within one hour after getting it, to unload it while the promoterswere advertising and capitalizing on his name.
_ We have heard promoters and
brokers. whisper to their friends,
“We are organizing and we are going
to list it right away.’’ These. friends
would be allowed to purchase large
blocks of stock for a few hundred
dllars, to pay the filing fees and costs
of organization. This stock is then
thrown on the market at the opening. The buyer who buys this stock
on the market opening has no chance,
for the flood of stock prevénts the.
company ever being financed.
How Financing Will Be Done
Exchange brokers can now, under
the new ruling .select mines that
have prospective merit, with a com-.
“booster” walk off with the money . prehensive plaii of exploration and
development laid down, and a finan@ial estimate-of it-scost_stated. Permits for securing these finances will
be granted under the law and the
ruling. Brokers can then urge their
clientele to buy the stock for fi.
nancing, with a promise to list it after it is financed.
There is no hardship in that. The
price at whith the financing must
be done is stated’ in the permit. All
the original buyers for financing get
stock at the same price, and then
when the financial problem is settled,
permits to list will be granted.
When the doors of the exchange
are opened to a financed stock with
a likely prospect, the trading begins
with a mine and a bank account. The
speculator knows that he has a
chance to handle his stock while the
‘bank account is being spent, and
stock fluctuations cannot affect the
work in progress because it is financed before the manipulation begins.
“ Restore Confidence.
There will be no cheap stocks nor
free stock to be thrown back on the
market, hence I can see possibilities
of restoring the public confidence in
mine investments when the first buyer knows he buys for financing an industry, and later speculators know
they are buying into a mine that has
the money to keep right on with its
work even if the stock does take a
drop.
Frightened stockholders will not
rush in to unload on a rumor, because they know that the work is going on, and tomorrow it may be better again. It will make it easier to
get the financial subscriptions bécause the man who makes the financing purchases knews that every one
else is in at the saine price. No one
can cut his throat with cheap stock,
and when he does want to sell, he
knows the assets of the company are
a bank account plus the property.
Furthermore, if a prominent man
is given a huge block of stock to become a director, he has to “stand
tied” till it’s financed. If you give him
stock for the use of his name, his
name has to stay there, till it is financed.’ He can’t take it out the
same day he gets the stock.
Financing Risk Eliminated.
I'd rather go to California, with @
legitimate, meritorious promtion, uader that new ruling, than ees state
in the Union, because the k of financing is eliminated. ‘Nature’s risk, ~~, 9
&
and competency of management, rée—
main—but business and manage
ment risks are in every industry—
banking included: All other risks, .
such as “shofting,” “profit taking,”
“promoters’ unloading,” are eliminatéd, for the mine goes right om
working with its financial bank account unimpaired.
The appointing of a registrar and
transfer agent in the jurisdiction of
California is only a safeguard to
prevent crook operators doing other
things outside the state while under
the’ protection of this rhling. The
promoters who mean to be square,
with a‘real desire to opén a mine fr
the production of metal ores for commerrial prfits, will _welrome this rulruling and protection, and so will
California welcome honest effort at
mineral development.—Mining Truth,
