Avoid being a Juggins lest ultimately you br by laying against a stiff 'un. And just as backers may lose their money by backing fugged-Sydney Bulletin, horse which, fairly run, could sail in a furlong ahead, so the "mugs" in mining constantly get left badly in buying shares which would be profitable enough if the mine were not worked wholly in the interests ofthe gentlemen who are in the know." This truth is no great novelty, but investors plunge just as though it did not affect them. Former revelations have not checked the business of booming in the least. In Sydney another Exchange has been started, and although three of these institutions are going, each with three meetings a day, the game is to be extended into the night. Gambling by gaslight in mining shares is to be added to the other forms of nocturnal speculation, including pony-racing by electric light, already established.

If there were a broad enough foundation of wealth to build upon, this speculation might not entail very severe loss to the backers of lodes. The public might then indulge in buying at fancy prices and yet not find themselves very badly

in the soup " Bat, allowing all reasonable Z ETLAND margin, it cannot be anticipated that the wealth of the mines now in the market can ever recoup the present expenditure of their shares. Re- stricting attention to silver mines, it will be noticed in the intest share report that only three mines, out of the 35 now quoted, have ever paid any dividend at all. These are the Proprietary, Block 14, and Sunny Corner mines. Of course most of the others are expected to yield enormously. They would need to do so to recoup present investors. On the prices quoted in the last monthly report, buyers' estimates of the value of the leading mines are as follows British B. H., £1.656,000; Proprietary, L16000,000: Block 10 1,280,000; Block 14. 1,075,000; Junction, £835,000; Souths, 2630,000, and Central, £1,803,750, making on these seven properties a total valuation of £24.279,750. That these mines are in public estimation the best in the market may be admitted. So much, in fact, is proved by the price of the shares, but there is no proof that the estimate is anything like reasonable. To repay this amount, with 10 per cent, interest on the -investment- and this rate is very far short of buyers' anticipations-within ten years, would require dividends at the rate of £5,000,000. annually, and any lengthening of the term would require a greater total of dividends. But in vestors say that these mines are, all certainties. So they are, in the current acceptation of the term, but the Bankruptcy Court is kept busy in- vestigating the affairs of mines that were just as much certainties at one period of their history- just when it suited the boomers to have them de- clared Buch. The share report from which we quote shows a ghasty list of the certainties of a few months ago in which no recent transactions are quoted. Castle Rag Extended, Lewis Ponds South, Spicers, North and South Cordillera, One Tree, Pinnacle Group, and Pinnacle Tribute, Pyc's Creek, are among the ventures which, according to the circular la question, found, at the end of last month, none so hopeful as to care to invest, Yet it is easy to remember when men, richer but less experienced then than now, frantic were tumbling over one another in

effort to do business with the boomers. The majority of buyers do not care whether a mine is going to pay dividends or not. Their only anxiety is for a further rise.. Sympathy would need to be very plentiful if any share of it is to go in their direction. They attempt to get in with the boomers, and if they happen to be underneath when the crash comes their position does not call for much public lamentation. But investors of this class seem to forget how precarious mining stock is, and how often something goes wrong with the works of the very best properties For there is the double uncertainty involved, the good faith of company managers-a doubtful | ST. JOHN quantity at the best of times-and the continu ance of good prospects being both necessary to the maintenance of tall price. This is writ large in the history of past years.
