Production of refined primary

source of lead smelted or re

TREASURY OR
. PROMOTION STOCK?
‘Buyer? of Stocks,” says Min
ing Truth*, “ought to dis
tinguish between treasury
stock, the proceeds of which
(less copimission) go directly
into the coffers of the com
pany, and personal stock,
which benefits only the owner.
Yet there are evidences that
many holders of mining stocks
thought they were helping to
develop the country when they
were merely getting “promot
ion stock” issued for services
or claims. By taking over the
personal holdings of promoters
they were actually retarding
the financing of the mine in
question.
What is the remedy?
Attorneys say a law to pre
vent sale of promotion stock
before all the treasury stock
is istued would be unconsti
tutional. But there is nothing
to prevent pooling agreements
by which all promotion stock
is tied up until the treasury
stock has been sold. Any com
pany pan remedy this situation
in its own organization—but
cannot, of course, prevent com
peting companies from follow
ing a practice that has often
been inimical to /the; mining
industry.”

been located in the Fairview

hospital treatment.
