lightly, "Unit the odds ore on the side
oflho experts. Hut ns for the ro

-wondered If he dared begin so soon to
build up the framework of his mission.
"I've been telling Angela that It's
mostly hard work. Once In a while
you do run Into something lurid, of
course romantic, If you want to call
It so. I remember one bit out of my
own experience," Angela had dropped
the papers, and was listening as close
ly asher father. "A few years ago
some friends of mine bought up an old
abandoned property out in the Butto
region; bought it for n song, and It
was n very quiet peaceful little song
'at that, because metals had been dull,
nnd to continue the metaphor my
.friends weren't In particularly good
voice just then. But after they'd tak

sung the first verse of the song, nnjl
there were a lot more verses and a
pretty strenuous chorus. There was
a shnft to he unwutercd and a lot of
timber-work to he done; they were In
for a big expense, and their credit had
tucks In It, and tho outlook wasn't any
too rosy. But thirty yards from thp
main workings there was a fairish
sort of tunnel,. With the start of a
winze thnt's a blind shaft running
down obliquely from a horizontal tun
nel nnd It pointed straight toward
the main shaft, and It occurred to
them thnt they could continue that
wjnzo another few .feet, strike their
main slmft about the hundred and
fifty foot level, and save a lot of labor
and expense thnt way by getting n
clean approach to the shaft Instead
of taking a lot of bother with It In Its
decrepit condition. Well, they .began
to go down thnt winze, and lnslujo of
ten feet they struck a brand new and
unsuspected vein there hadn't been
any outcrop showing; It was sheer,
unadulterated luck. Then they had
credit they certainly dldl To make
a long story short, they pawned their
futures, and begged and borrowed ev
ery penny they could lay their hands
on, and they developed tha,t property1
to tho Inst cent, nnd when they had

tons of four per qent. copper In sight,
and thoro were Indicated ore reserves
of another half a million tons, they
s'oUrthnt property to n group of New
Yorkers for an utterly phenomenal
price, without ever having so much
as touched the original shnft for which
they'd bought the property I"
"Ouch!" said Cullen, and "Good
ness I" said Angela.
"And," said IIIHInrd, smiling rcrol
ilscently "If the original owners had
pushed that winze for a couple of days
more than they did, or If my friends
hadn't decided to go at the problem
Jn exactly thnt way . . . well, as I say,
what's one man's romance Is another
man's tragedy. My friends got their
Investment bnck In something less than
four months, and nfter that It was vel
vet. And the selling prlco was In the
neighborhood of two hundred times
What they'd paid for it. Thnt's min

It was and tho only fabrication about
It was nilllard's claim of friendship
for the lucky owners. Tljls, ns he as
sured himself, was salesman's license
every successful operator Is a
"friend" of any salesman.
Cullen nodded thoughtfully; his
eyes were bright. Angela was alter
nately regarding him with Indulgent
pity, and sending I-toldyou-so mes
sages to millard.
"Where was this In Montana?"
"SUverbow county. Near Butte.
Yes, there Is romance In that country,
Mr. Cullen. It's In every tree and ev
ery rock, andIn every hill nnd valley
and under tho ground. And I'm afraid
Tra Just enough of n realist to find

"To save my life," Bald Cullen, "I

fountain, whlchln his moments of
complacenco had all tho attributes of
a geyser for him, was suddenly a
fecblo faucet, nnd the tidy lawn was

"The up-to-date schoolbooks;" snld
Hllllnrd, laughing, "have a good many
changes In them. Tho West of the
early eighties Is all gone, the atmos
phere Is all gone, tho old-style miners
are nil gone ; you used to see some pic
turesque sights even ten years ago, but
nowadays you best realize how tho in
dustry has changed when you see n
couple of pals hunting for work In nn
auto drive up to a camp, ask for a
Job, get it, park the auto, take tho
tools out of tho delivery body on be
hind, nnd pitch In. And you can Im
agine tho other changes that accom
pnny that one. Of course, that's es
pecially typical of Arlzonn, but we get
It In Montana, too. I'm not saying thnt
the color has gone out entirely, be
cause It hasn't, but In the old tlnysTIto
West was tho West, and now It's mov
ing East ns fast as It conveniently can,
so that If you want to get tho pure
spirit of It, as It Is today, you'll have
to go down to Wall street. That's
where It lives."
"Mining mining I" mused Mr.- Cul
len. "Sounds adventurous just to say
It." He gnzed at tho fountain.
"And no Industry Is less understood
oven by Intelligent men, Mr. Cullen.
As n matter of fact, tho public doesn't
oven understand most of the commoa
.est terms. The buying public doesn't
even know what It Is buying. That's
why It's so easy to sell worthless
stock."
"Oh, Mr. IIIHInrd I"
"For Instance," lie said. "I spoke of
a certain number of tons In sight, nnd
thnt's ouo of the very commonest ex
pressions In a fnko prospectus. I sup
pose you know you couldn't see It,
don't you?"
"Why, nol" said Mr. Cullen, blank
ly. "Couldn't I?"
'You might actually see a few thou
sand dollars' worth"."
"Why," said Angela, surrrlsedly. "I
thought It stuck right out on the walls I
Jn gobs I And you knocked It off with
a pickax I And shoveled It up!"
"Not, exactly that," said Hilllnra
kindly. "Sometimes y.Ou go at an ore
body with steam shovels, and other
times you don't. But when you remem
ber thnt three or four pounds of cop
per to every hundred pounds of rock
means n very handsome profit, If your
costs aren't excessive, you hnve some
Idea of how little you could knock off
a wall. No--you tear down tho whole
mass. You go at It wholesale."
"What 1 meant by romance," said
Mr. CullenT "wasn't nocessnrlly luck.
And besides, this yarn you'vo Just told
us doesn't Illustrate what I call a

"I beg your pardou," said IIIHInrd
quickly. "There's been mighty little

there's been n tremendous amount of

"Now you Just wait a second," In
terrupted Angcln, who had been fidget
ing and playing with her wrist wntch.
"Dad Mr. Milliard! This Is nwfully
Interesting, hut dinner's In just n few
minutes, nnd "
"Plenty of time," snld Cullen, wnv
Ing her off. "Plenty of-time! Go
nhead, Mr. Iltllliud. This Is too good
to miss. Smoke n cigarette for nn
appetizer?"
"Thank you." Illlllnrd, having de
cided to tnke complete 'ndvnntngo of
the present opportunity, marshaled
salient details as he held n match for'
his host. "Well, perhaps I can show
you best by an nctunl example. I'm
out of tho game entirely, ns I snld,
but I was Invited n day or two ngo
to Join a New York syndicate In
flnnnclng n property I appraised my
self In 1914. It's owned at present by
.four boys with a shoe-string npleco.
They .can't finance it themselves, so
they need help, nnd they've come to
Wnll street nnd whispered their se
cret through a megaphone. Now sup
pose, Just to mnko It clear, all around,
thnt you and I and Angela are to form
n syndicate! to -underwrite the com
pany." Ho wns sustnjned by the re
flection thnt oven though he enmo In
tho guise of n mountebank, there wns
nothing dishonorable about the wares
ho had brought to sell.
"Oohl" snld Angcln, Joyously,
"Thanks I"
Simultaneously her fnthor gave her
a little frown of affectlonnto remon
strance, and Hllllnrd gave her a little
smllo of affectionate esteem.
"Now, tho boys who own It," snld
Illlllnrd, "are In such straits that we
can practically dictate our own terms.
I don't mean to Imply thnt we'd tnke
too great nn ndvnntngo of them, but
It's a plain case of supply and de
mand, nnd we're naturally Interested
in a bargain. Wo go over tho mlno
very carefully, and find that although
It Isn't actually producing any copper
just yet, because the owners ran out
of money before they could get that
fnr, It has enough ore reserves to
guarantee at least ten thousand tons
a year for twenty years, provided tho
necessary equipment Is bought nnd put
Into operation. Thnt tonnage, with tho"
price of copper whore It Is now
around thirty cents nnd the, cost of
production what It Is now, and other
factors what they nro, now would
eventually mean a net profit of about
a quarter of a million dollars a ye,ar.
So first wo have these present owners
organize n corporation, capitalized nt
two million dpllurs."
Cullen smoked violently, nnd looked
puzzled.
"You're getting out of my depth.
How do you nrrlvc at thnt?"
'That's so as to Insure ton per cent
dividends, And the mine can pay ten
per cent, provided wo enn arrange to
get the capital. You see, Mr. Cullen,
n copper mlno Isn't llko u factory, and
you can't figure It the snmo wny, bo-,
cause a factory runs on Indefinitely,
and If you simply replnco tho ma
chinery whenever It wears out, there's
nothlifg to prevent tho snmo plant
from keeping on making tho same sort
of product for n hundred yours. Hut
every pound of ore you tnke out of n
mlno leaves that much less for tho
future, nnd oventunlly your ore's go
ing to bo all gone. Aiid If this par
ticular mlno Is going to bo exhausted
In nbout twentv years, It stands to
reason that It's being exhausted at the
rate of onetwentlcth, or five per cent,
n year. You must tako that always
Into consideration. And therefore,
every stockholder Is entitled to get
back nt least five per cent of his
money each year to cover that de
preciation, In addition to whatever he
ought to get for ordinary profits, which
Is nilother five per cent Otherwise''
"Oh I I sec !" cried Angela,
"Prove It I" commanded Hllllnrd In
dulgently. "Why, If the company Just paid flvo
per cent for twenty years, nnd ut the
end of It, your oro was till gone, the
people would only Just have got their
money back, and they wouldn't hnve
made nay real profit ut uIU"
"Exactly!' nm HilliiuO. s., ti.,
company must pay nt least ton per
cent half for bona fide dividends nnd
half for depreciation."
"OhoV said Cullen, opening his
eyes. "Is thnt why the big mining
companies pay-such big dividends? I
thought It was nil clear profit I"
"No, sir. Tho dividends of n min
ing company lmVs to ho very high to
be attractive at all; they have to
mnko good that depreciation. Well,
we mnko tho" boys Incorporate, as I
said, for two million dollars, on which
we can pay ten per cent. I'll show
you hnt tho setup looks like." llo
wrote on the bnck of nn old envelope:
Capitalization .$2,000,000 200,000
shares ot $10 each.
"Now, the conipnny (nnd you must
remember thnt so fur wo hnven't
any ofllcinl connection with It), agrees
to tnke over tho property, and pay tho
present owners for It with S0.000
shares of stock, nnd It also agrees to
sell to you und Angela and mo tho
other 120,000 shares at n dollnr npleco,

nnd It does, and yon nnd Angcln nnd
I are still letting tho former owiiers
manage It, but since we're In control
of tho stock, wo cither elect ourselves
ns directors, or elect other people
whoso names enrry weight with tho
public, so that we can always direct
the general policy, and see that It's
careful and conservative. From every
angle, then, financial und moral, tho
venture looks llko n big success. So
jou and Angela and I go to a good
broker, or to n group ot brokers, and
mnko them n proposition. Wo con
vince them of the value we have; wo
let them send their own engineers out
lo mnko u report, nnd ns evidence of
good fulth, wo pay nil their expenses;
we let them go over our "books. Every
thing's fnlr nnd squnrennd above
board. And we agree thnt these bro
kers will take some of this stock off
our hnnds to sell. to tho public (be
cause they've got a selling organiza
tion already established, and plenty of
customers who look to them for ml
vlce) nnd It's agreed that they'll pay
us say, four dollars a shore for what
they think they can soil. The brokors
then -do somo advertising, send out
their circulars and bulletins nnd
pamphlets to their customers, and sell
that stock to tho public for unywhoro
from six to tight dollars n share. That
Is, tho public Is glad enoughwhen tho
prospect's n good one, to pny seven or
eight dollnrs (becnuso every share's
going to he worth ten) for what cost
the broker four dollars, and cost us
one dollar which we've nlrcndy got
back from the brokers, nnd wo've still
got tho hnlf of those 120,000 shares of
ours left besides! .So here's tho final
balance sheet!" He hastily totaled
the list, nnd handed It ovpr to Cullen.
