FACTS ABOUT MINING STOCKS
A Frank Statement of What Investors
Ought to Know ,
THE GREAT BOOM IN COLORADO
Cnplfiillrntlon of Mitten mill
IllilOX ll'lllOllM Of HlV
llrokorn mill Slotik
"You can sell anything If you will firs
stock It , " safir a 'Colorado Springs broker to
Cripple Creole \n\ntr \ \ last No\cmljLlr.
"My peopie arajnodest : tncy want to buy
mines , but not < mining stocks , " said a repre
sentative of rlMttsburg Investors , tpeaklng
In the lobby rff a 'Denver ' hotel last January
The two rSniaffts somewhat explain eacl
otlicr. but no\xi/dge / of the local situa
tion , writes the Cripple Creek correspondent
of the Globo-Domdorat , Is necessary to under
stand fully thW apf/arent contradiction. Untl
recently the Inlnlng Industry In the United
States was. ancondltlon which made It
Impossible to Cu 'good ' mines or to sell bad
ones. The pr'cjducllon of gold wemcd to bo
within the grip . /if the law of dlmlnlsnlng
returns , and experts thought It very un
likely that there would bs now discoveries
of any great Importance. I'eople who hail
gold mines wished to keep them , and people
A ho had not had no expectation of being able
to secure any.
Within three years Crlpplo Creek and the
new processes cf ore production have changed
all that. Poor men have attained sudden
wealth : and the possibility of achieving this
exhilarating feat has e.xcltcd thousands In
all parts of the world. " 1'rospecta" of all
sorts again have value , for It has been shown
that they may turn out to bo rich mines.
Up to last November nearly all the de
velopment work In Colorado was done by
Colorado capital. This was of necessity , for
after the collapse In 1893 , and the general
closing of silver niiiua. outside capital was
not obtainable. Colorado people turned to
prospecting for gold , and developing pros
pects found , because there was absolutely
nothing else for them to do. When won
derfully rich mines began to be demonstrated -
strated outsiders grew to bo IntereVed and
the whole population of Colorado became
excited.
That the mining fever should be followed
by the Incorporation fever was Inevitable.
When the output of a mining camp Is rlsmg
rapidly toward the million dollar a month
point , no power on earth can prevent people
from wanting to secure seme kind of In
terest. As long as there Is a basis of real
and Increasing value In nmc cf the proper
ties , almost anything will be believed to have
value. Stocks of all sorts will rise In price ,
not perhaps because the men of the Inner
circle believe them to have Intrinsic value ,
but because these men bellovo that they can
make other people believe they have value.
All through the fall stocks were eagerly
bought on the Colorado exchange Dimply be
cause they were going up and could be
turned at a prr.flt.
It was easy to make money on this k'r.d
of a market , as It Is at the beginning of any
boom , and outsiders succesded almost as wel
for a time ns professionals. An honest man
has told me. with that wealth of "corrobTa-
tlve detail designed to lend aploaslng _ veri
similitude to ail otherwise baid an'i uncon
vincing narrative , " of two Swedish servant
girls who turned over $75 to n stock broker
with whom they were slightly acquainted
giving him no directions e.xcopt to Invest It
In sfcks at his discretion. He turnoj the
money repeatedly during the course of a
year , at the end of which time he paid them
$1,800 each , which was the amount remaining
after deducting all hlo own commissions. It
is hard to keep from getting excited In a
community where ruch things happen ,
To meet tha demand for anything called
mining stock , between COO and 700 mining
companies wereiiccrporatc < J In Colorado Ir
1S95 , with rt ! authorized capitalization o
more than $300,000,000. This happens .to be
almost exactly' ' eqlial to the entire nominal
capital of all the mining comapnles. new
and old. registered In England during ISO. .
and operating In flroat Biltaln. North Amor-
lea , South America , Curope , Africa and
Australia. Abqut l,000 c'mpmlea have been
organized at < jnoitlme or another to operate
In the Crippla.Creiek . district , with a nominal
capital of nearlyi $1,000,000.000. If the total
does not rencli' tyio sum at present It eoon
will , for the sdmci astounding birth rate con
tinues to the enrichment of the omce of the
secretary of state , where a fee of 10 certs
per $1,000 of authorized capital must be paid.
It Is ono of tHe lesser results of the mining
boom that a threatened deficit In the state
revenues has beejijwlped out by the payment
of thesj feeiv which for some time have
amounted to about $2,000 per flay. Naturally
enough , the boons' halts and staggers under
the burdorf TiTyds astounding capitalization.
Even the craziest must eeo that discrimina
tion lo nccessaiy In buying such stuff ; but a
roil , bona fide , popular boom Is nothing If
not Indlscrlmlnatlug. The boom that hesi
tates la lost , and becomes something. elM.
The wiser brokera In Colorado are already
trying to get free from the cheap stocks , and
to bring the buying to an Investment basis.
This cffoit Is hampered by the ridiculous
and mischievous multiplication of ex
changes. "Will you walk Into my Stock
exchange ? " said Colorado to the world. But
as the outsiders began to arrive they found
net ono Stock exchange , but ten or fifteen.
The brokers of each were prone to whisper
to the stranger that the fellows on the
other exchanges wcro not to bo trusted , and
go on to explain different methods of rob
bing the unwary. A member of Stock cx-
change A would explain to you how his
board had discharged for dishonest prac
tices the man who was then president of
exchange D. Under such circumstances the
prospective Investor felt somewhat like a
scared passenger In a crowd of bawling
cabmen. The auction rooms of the differ
ent exchanges somehow looked more like
traps thanj places of business , nnd the Invi
tation to "come In and Invest" got Itself
suepectcij of being a covert form for the
Invitation to "coma In and be skinned. "
The effect was In every way bad , for the
market was spread out so thin that no ono
could bo sure of anything. Ono Block that
was being actively boomed during January
was , on tbo same day , sold at 4 cents at
Victor , 3 cents at Pueblo , 2 cents at Den
ver and 1 % cents at Colorado Springs. This
unfortunate division of exchanges began
when Denver los the lead by refusing to
have confidence In Crlpplo Creek , and left
Colorado Springs , to become the most ac-
tlvo center of speculation for that district.
Liter , exchanges were multiplied itt an ab
surd fashion , loss from a desire of the
brokers to speculate In mining stocks than
a dcslro to speculate In seats on mining
exchanges. A seat on the Colorado Springs
Mining exchange which had cost less than
$200 came to have a value of more than
$1,000 , and tbo promoters of other boards
seemed to think they could duplicate this
experience. Instead , they discredited the
state and themselves by their folly.
Although the perfectly unreasoning boom
has subsided , at least for a time. It In etlll
not easy to find what clement of safety there
Is In a purchase of stock In a company really
having a valuable mine. The secretary of
ono of the most substantial and conservative
exchanges In the state , when asked regarding
the protection afforded by tbo laws of Colorado
rado to minority stockholders In mining com
panies against the manipulation of rings ,
said that he could , not answer because ho had
never beard the question raised. It was the
same wlion ho wa asked about the liability
of stockholders for the debts of a bankrupt
company. Write tq a Colorado mining broker
asking such questions as these , and the
chances are tl/at / you will set a reply pref
aced by the utatpraent that bo does not
know the answer , to your question , but do-
slres to call your tattcntlon to the oitremo
profitableness at Paying Cripple Creek stocks.
lie will then fclvoi you figures showing that

So much of this kind of literature has
been sent out berause so largo a proportion
of presumptho Investors Inquire about noth
ing but the probabilities of profit In short-
term speculative ventures. The letters of
Inqu'ry ' thai burden the brokers' malls ask
anxiously about the outlook for the market
of next week or next month. "How eon
can wo realize ? " Is the common question. A
local paper In giving nilvlco about how an
amateur should begin to speculate lit mining
slocks says Ihat a very good way Is to de
posit as much ns you are willing to risk
with n rel'able broker , nnd let him nso hie
judgment. In other words , the servant girl
method of Investing Is all that Is necessary
In order to eel rich.
The moro reputable brokers and exchanges
are as anxlojs as any one to stop this blind
plunging , and have recently made concerted
efforts to limit the stocks dealt In to those
having demonstrable value. The listing ft-o
has been raVsod , the list lini been divided
Inlo "mines" nnd "prrspocts , " and the list
Ing committee has been Instructed to mnk
Gotrchlng Inquiries in the cao of each corporate
porato applicant for a place on the list (1 (
as to the character of the officers ; (2) ( ) as t
locallon of properly ; (3) ( ) as to title ; (4) ( ) as t
the amount cf work done , nnd (1) ( ) a to th
amount of money or unsold stock In th
treasury of the comtiany. There are n larg
number of minor Inquiries made , and i
pledge Is exacted lo furnish any further In
formation that the exchange may ask. Yet
notwlthslandlng all these precautions , th
rumor Is currnt as 1 write that some of th
listed "mines" are shipping ore that It doe
not pay them to ship In order lo keep ni
appearances nnl'l Iho last of their troasniry
slock Is sold. The Cripple Creek corre
spondent of the Denver Republican com
plains that the energy and money needed I ;
the prospect holes Is being wasted In stocl
Jobbing. Of the 1.000 companies organize
lo opetate In Cripple Creek less than 200 nri
over heard of on any of the Colorado ex
changes , and IESS than fifty , Including botl
"mints" and "prospects , " are on the list
of the Colorado Mln'ng Stock Exchange o
Denver , or cf Iho Mining Stock Exchange o
Colorado Springs. Wildcat stock , like tin
old wildcat currency , often circulates bes
away from home , and ninny stocks nra being
sold In the east that could not bo sold here
Dut after all possible means of dtscrlmlnat
Ing between stocks have been availed of
how much sense was there In the poslt'oi
of the man who sold that ho wanted mines
but would have nothing to do with mining
stocks ? In other words , If I'buy stock In a
company that actually has a good title to a
good mine , Is It certain that I have a good
thing ?
What guarantee Is there that a minority
stockholder In n mining company will no
have h's holding rendered valueless , Irro
sptctlve of the outcome of the mining opera
lions ? The experience of California mining
companies Is not reassuring. A veteran
Arizona prospector once told mo of nelllng a
claim to a San Francisco company for $20 ,
000. I asked him If the mine turned out to
be n good one , and h's reply was : "Well , 1
was an uncommonly gocd mine for n slocl
company to own. It was very pockety. They
would strlko rich ore end boom the stock
and have assessments for machinery and si
on. Then the lead would pinch out , am
there would have to be more nsssssments
for further exploration ; and everybody wouli
got dlicouraged and the stock would slump
Then Ihere would be another strike and an
other boom. So I rnlher guess , " he con
eluded , "that the men on the Inside made
moro out of it than If It had been n betlci
m'no. "
His concluding observallon. recalls the re
mark of a possible Investor made to s
persistent San Francisco broke"Your : ac
count of the property to attractive. From
what you say I should think the company
must ovn a good thing. You ask mo wha
moiq I-.mvant before investing My reply
Is that before I Invest a dollar ! P ilic stock
I want to see the photographs and bio. ,
raphles of the men that con-u'ol the com-
piuy. "
There are three things that are suppo
to make It safer to buy Colorado mlnlnr
stock than the \arletles handled In other
times and other places. (1) ( ) The directors ,
of a mining company cannot mortgage IU
property or give a lien upon It without the
formal consent of a majority of the stock
Hut such a law will not protect mtnorlt )
stockholders ; nnd , besides , the directors
'
may'conlract debts for which the companj
can be sued , and a Judgment constitutes j
lien. Such JuJgmcnls are , honocr , very
slow of collection. Practically It Is han
for the companies to borrow. (2) ( ) Nearly al
Colorado mining stock Is non-assei-uable.
It can be either assessable or non-assessa
ble , but must show on Its face In which way
It has boon Issued. (3) ) Colorado mining
stock Is nearly all "full paid. "
A etrangcr who has been staggered by
the amount fcrwhich the companies are
capitalized. Is likely to bo knocked down
by the further Information that the stock
Is "funirpald. " But to say that the stock Is
"full p-tld" does not mean In Colorado that
100 ccntri on the dollar has been paid Into
the company treasury for It. It means ,
instead ! that the company at the beginning
rf Us operallon took advantage of a loaal
fiction In an attempt to shield the pur
chasers of Its slock from being called on
for the difference between the price they
paid for It and the par valuo. If I buy
stock at 10 cento n share directly from
the company the company usually has the
right to call for the remalnln-g 90 cents lu
Installments , as the law provides , "and the
money Is needed. But If three men organize
a mining company In Colorado they do not
proceed In an ordinary way. Suppose they
own a claim or claims which would sell
for cash at not to exceed $10,009. The
company organizes with a capital of $1-
000,000. The company votes that It considers
these claims worth $1,000,000. and gives the
entire amount of Its stock In payment for
thorn. This stock Is considered to be "full
paid , " and It Is supposed that the holder
can never bo called upon for any further
payments on It. The legality of this method
of giving the purchaser of cheap stock com
plete Immunity from anything llko asaes
ments has not been fully adjudicated , but
It Is known that a court will not set aside
"an honest overestimate" of property thufl
exchanged for stock. Safety , therefore , depends -
ponds upon the honesty of the Initial estl-
As'a now mllllsn-dollar Infant corporallon
has no money with which to begin operations ,
Us parents kindly contrlbule to It a half or a
quarter or ome other fraction of the full paid
stock that has Just been given them. This
goes Into the treasury of the company and Is
called "treasury stock. " It Is scia for what
ever It may bring , and the money goes Into
the treasury to bo used In developing the
property. Many of thcsa million-dollar com-
nanlcs sccuro only a few thousand dollars
with which to operate , and It Is clear that a
bonanza must be struck and struck soon In
crdor to make this beggarly cash Investment
result in dividends on such a princely array
of capitalized expectations. A few ouch acci
dents have happened.
The best guarantee of honest corporate
management 1 publicity In Its transactions.
Unfortunately the mining companies of Col
orado , at least those Issuing full-paid stock ,
are not obliged to make any published re
ports whatever. Under the law any stock
holder has a right to Inspect the company
books , but If the right la denied , mandamus
; > rocoudlnga are slow and unsatisfactory. One
lawyer told me he had been trying for over
a year to get a chance for bis client to ex
amine the books of a certain company , but
liad not resorted to the courts because of the
unsatisfactory action In such matters. Illght
can bo got through the courts for a stock
holder to Inspect a mine , but this process la
still Blower and more expensive than the
other. Parties have been trying for years to
secure an opportunity to inspect the Molly
jlbson , but have not yet succeeded.
Trust companies have recently been organ
ized to provide for the registration of mining
stocks and to protect purchasers against over-
ssue and some other forms of corporate dlti-
loncsty. The law regulating these companies
a apparently very good , ard U may bo hoped
.bat their Influence , together with that of tbo
nlnlng exchanges , will give considerable se
curity to Investors who take the trouble to
exercise at much caution In making their
