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.

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.

DOWNIEVILLE ITEMS DOWNIEVILLE, June 28.—(Special to The Nugget).—Misses Marjorie Taylor and Amy Coupe gave a dancing party to a number of their friends at the Taylor home Monday evening. The guests. were Misses Sally Cheek, Sarah Cook, «Anita Coupe, Helen Sutton, Anna Costa and Katherine Smith, and Eugene Brown, Charles Cook, Milton Cook, George Taylor, Robert Burman, Warren Seott and Junior Fitzwater. Frank Nordhoff, who ~has_ been visiting Addison Brown for several days, returned to his home in the Saeramento Valley Thursday. Sheriff Geo. C. Bynon. returned Thursday from a business trip to Northern Sierra County and left Friday for Gold Lake. W. J. Duddleson, mining operator of La Porte, visited Downieville Friday-on mining business. Mr. Duddleson was accompanied by his wife and sons. Mrs. Belle C. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brown, Mrs. Wm. S. Brown and Mrs. Dickinson of Gibsonville, were in town last week on mining business. Mrs. Brown is one of the owners of the Gold Cup Hydraulic why don’t you , Mine at Hepisdam. County Surveyor Geo. F. Taylor has been surveying the mining property of J. ©. Kretz at Ramshorn, five miles west of this place. Chas. Spengler, who is operating the Omega Mine, near Forest, spent several hours at the county’ seat Wednesday. Belle C. Brown and Wm. S. Brown have secured a patent to the Gold Cup Gravel Mine at Hepsidam. This property adjoins the old North America Drift Mine, once one of the biggest producers in Sierra County, and consists of 120 acres of hydraulic ground. The Browns have been operating the mine for several years. 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 then. have the xe: o co Se ae asa Sa a ee ee ee Da a a a a a ee ee Hitinieleinieieiobioieieinivioiing % * 7 reste es oS * S.

Now ....... 29c * * : { 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,
