FOOLS AND THEIR MONEY Parting at a Rate that Must Give the South Sea Bubbler a Pain, SRECULATIVE CRAZE AMONG FOREIGNERS South Africa’s Mining Bubble Worked for Milllons More Than it is Worth—Fahulous Prices Pald for Unknown Stock. When the financlal insanity of the days of the South Sea bubble reached its height there was floated a company without any announce- ment of its object nor any information as to its plans, and a mad public crushed itself in its eagerness to subscribe at fabulous figures to this unknown security. There has been a similar epidemic of financlal insanity raging in Burope now for nearly a year, says the Chicago Tribune, and a few days ago ex- actly the same thing was repeated in London that marked the helght of the South Sea bubble madness nearly three centurles ago. Barney Barnato has for the last year been one of the most prominent figures in the marvelous mining speculation which has been going on in England and thronghout the con- tinent. He has piled up a fortune estimated to be more than $100,000,000 through the printing of stock certificates in mining com- panies and the skillful manipulation of those stocks in the market. A few days ago he an- nounced the formation of the Barnato Bank, Mining and Estate company, limited. The capital was £1,250,000, in shares of 1. He announced that he and his brother had sub- scribed to the entire capital and had subse- quently sold a portion of it to a syndicate which™ would offer it on the market. No prospectus was offercd. The public had only tho vaguest conception of the objects of the company. It was given no information what- ever as to its plans. On the day that the syndicate offered the stock in the London stock markets thers was a scene the parallel of which London never witnesced tefove. The public was wild to buy the sscurty Orders were glven without regard to price Business was practically suspended in all other securities dealt in the mining market. It was first traded in Sept:mber 2, and the eagerness of the public to put its money into this scheme about which it knew abso- lutely nothing, drove prices for the £1 shares up to £4%. On the first day that the public was allowed to trade it put a value upon the shares that made the £1,20,000 of capital have a market value of £5,780,000. The London Financial Time described the day in the m! follows: We have reason to believe that business was done yesterday In other stocks than “Barney's Bank,” but it was difficult fo ¢ cover it. If you happened 1o come across anybody who had actually done business in another stock he wou'd not tell you about the market until you gave him the latest price of the bank shares, And if the latest figure happened to be 10 or 15 shillings different from what he had last heard he tcorned American ralls, Argentines, Westrallan Mines, Kaffirs—even Chartered—and disappeared in the crowd to find out if you were right about “Barney's Banks.”” Dealers in South African shares had not the time to spare to make dealing prices; they were all too much occu- pled in the feature of the day. Support was withdrawn ~ from the market — even from other Barnato stocks—by the all-en- grossing subject of speculation. In the market the morning scene was wonderful and the excitement intense. Brokers had orders at limits based on one or other of the con- fileting rumors as to the price at which the market would open; but the work of those was stnple compared with that of the brok- ers who had orders to buy “at best,” and who had to fight their way through a crowd to get the opportunity of asking a jobber to make a price. The orders had to be ex- ecuted, but there will be much heartburning this morning as to the prices at which the purchases were made. It was athletics and not ordinary business capacity that scored yesterday. To have both was a distinct advantage, but If one had to be sacrificed, physical prowess was the es- sentlal desideratum. We tremble to think of the questions with which we shell be as- sailed by correspondents irate because their agents did pot get them in at the opening price. But i they had witnessed the scene and heard the noise they would understand that the price at which an individual order was_executed did not by any means depend entirely on business capacity. A blg man with a big voice getting in front of a small man with a feeble voice might mean a differ- ence of £1,000 or (2000 to the cllent of the latter. The market, in fact, went mad about the shares, and the re- sultant danger was promptly recognized by Mr. Barnato and his colleagues in the flota- tlon. To check the insane demand for the shares it was only necessary to increase the supply, and this was done, with the result that they left off at about 3 11-16, About the concern the public knows com- paratively little, except that Mr. Barnato has given his name to it, and that name is asso- ciated with successes of the most brilllant kind. There is nothing succeeds like success, it 1s sald, and yesterday's market s a nota- ble example of the weight of this aphorism. How many million pounds sterling *Barney" may be worth is a favorite subject of dis- cusslon in and about the Stock exchange, The estimates vary In the most picturesque + way, but on all hands it is agreed that he is a millionaire a8 many times over as s neces sary to enable him to make a success of en bigger things than he has yet taken in and—and some of these are big. There may be bigger yet to come. Meantime his reputation s largely involved in the success of the institution he has chosen to call a bank and for which he stands as godfather; and we think the market owes him a debt of gratitude for whatever part'he took in check- ing the mad advance in the shares of that fnstitution. It Is quite on the cards, how- ever, that even those who last night were Ditterly regretting having got in at the top may ultimately be pleased with their pur- chase on “St. Barney’s day."” This operation in the shares of “Barney's editorialiy g market as Bank” is simply the latest and most sensa- tional act in what is known as the “Kaffir clreus.” The circus has been running now for nearly a year. It was with the begin- ning of October, 1894, that speculation in London turned in the direction of South African mining securities. For several years before there had been but little opportunity to gratify the gambling passion in the stock market. Good securities, under the influence of & money market plethoric with idle funds, had risen so high that there was no use thinking of buying them for a rise. Neither was It promising to sell them short, and so there was a dead calm in the speculative markets, and the most indefatigable scalper was hardly able to make office expen: When the speculators turned toward Am fca they found a depressed industrial condi- don, low earnings and a currency contro- versy which altogether effectually checked any enthusiasm in our direction. Australia was In worse shape than the United States, and 5o it s not surprising that the gambling instinct turned to the gold mines of Africa. ‘The prospect there was in some ways allur- ing. Already a good deal of gold had been taken from the Transvaal. Black labor was cheap and unhampered by Sundays; economi- cal processes for treating ores were dlscov- ered, and altogether there was reason for capital to become interested in that fleld. The actual yield of gold had Increased in the Witwatersrand district from 496,000 ounces In 1890 to 1,478,000 in 1893, It was on such conditions that the boom started— that the “Kafir circus” began. The first operations were in London, but the market #0on became an international one. Some of the greatest financial houses of Paris took up the business. The organiza- tlon of companies went on in London at an astounding rate. Company after company got its shares introduced on the coullsse, or outside Paris market, and the shares of some of the companies found official recognition on the Paris board. Large financial houses and banks bought great quantities of shares en bloc, and, registering them in thelr own names, fssued bearer certificates split up in minute subdivisions as small as one-tenth of the £1 whares. All France caught the fever and in the multitude of purchasing orders from the smaliest of operators became a support to the mining market, which carried it clear out of the hands of the people who had set the wheels going. As the market grew it became as broad as Rurope. Ger- many has taken almost as much Interest as France and lately Belglum has been cutting an important figure. The course of the market has been almost stralght upward, It got a little chill last Baster and a good many of the old birds 1in stock market gambling were sure the end had come and they played the market accordingly. But they miscalculated the number of pzople who were ready to be' a £1 note on the turn of fortune. The great public carried the market away again and It has since been going straight up The aggregate appreciation of mining shares in the last twelve months is something almost beyond comprehension. The impor- tance of the advance may be seen from th fact that the companies working in the Wit- watersrand district alone, having a nominal capital of £16,000,000, are now quoted in the market at prices which glve an aggregato market value of £86,000,000. The apprecia- tion In the market value of the shares of those companies alone between the end of March and the beginning of September was £60,000,000, nearly $300,000,000. All that, however, represents but a small part of this wonderful inflation that has gone on in twelve months. Mr. Cecil Rhodes' Chartered com- pany of British South Africa had a market value a year ago of £4,000,000 for the entire stock. It now has a valuation of over £18,- 000,000, an increase of $70,000,000. The shares of the De Beers Diamond company now have an aggregate market value of £20,000,000, as compared witk: a little over £12,000,000 a year ago. Right here is counted an appreciation of value in a year of $410,000,000, and that s but half the story. A remarkable feature of the market is the fact that the great advances in quotations are almost wholly found in those securities which pay no dividends. An old speculator once said that he liked the shares of the Erie road because there was no blanked nonsense of dividends about them. That seems to be the situation with the mass of speculators fn the European mining markets. When once a company becomes a regular dividend payer it settles into quietness. Indefinite prospects are much more attractive to the speculators than cash returns. The number of enterprises in which the Barnato Bros, have been engaged offer an array of figures that is astounding. They have recently introduced a new scheme finto the market, the formation cf trusts which are to take other contracts and claims which the promoters declare to be of great value and regarding which the public knows nothing at all. The first of these trusts made its anpeir- ance under the title of the Johannesburg Con- solidated Investment company and was fath- ered by Messrs, Barnato and J. B. Robinson. It had a capital of £650,000, and has formed to tako over certan undefined Interests from the Messrs. Barnato. In the first half year's operations the company is said to have made $5,000,000. How the profit was ob- tained the public is left in ignor:nce, but upon mere unofficial statements they have run up to the value of the £650,000 of stock to a market value of well over £4,250,000, or $21,000,000. The Barnato Consolidated mines is a more recent undertaking, and the public knows even less about it. Before the public knew the par value of the shares, or the capital stock of the company, it ran up the price 500 per cent, That company, with a nominal capital of £1,250,000, now stands in the market at a value of about £6,250,000, Of course It goes without saying that with such a market for mining securities the man- ufacturer of those ~securities will not be hampered. They are baing manufacturel at a rate which is startling. Note, for instance, the last three or four coples of the London Financial Times. They contain full page ad- vertisements of company after compiny now being floated with more or less nebulous plans of engaging in business in the South African mines. The issue of that paper for September 6 has full page prospectus of Sel- ukwe consolidated, limited, with a capital of £170,000; the North White Feather contoli- dated gold mines, limited, with a capital of £225,000; the White Feather Renown Gold ing company, limited, with a capital of 000, in shares of 4 shillings each; the Bamboo Creck Gold Mining company, with a capital of £100,000; ths Champlon Resf Gold Mining company, with a capital of £150,000; the Lombardy Gold mine, with a al of £64,000; the Dixie Go'd Mining company, with a capital of £85,000. That is certainly a pretty good list of new gold mining ventures to be advertised in a wholesale fashion in a single issue of a financial paper. The Issue of the same paper for the following day contains nearly as many more, and quits d!fferent ones. New mining securlt'es are being ground out at the rate of simply millions of dollars a day. The public {s subscribing for them eagerly, and quotations in the market after trading commences go up and up. All this is an interesting psychological study, showing the love of the human race for gambling. It has a more dlrect interest, however, for it promises now that the possi- bilities of the South African field are about ex- hausted, to extend to this country. Already a few mining properties from America have found their way to the London markets. The English promotor 1s wide awake, whatever else he may be, and he is not<overlooking the mines of the Rocky mountains and the Pacific coast. A few days ago the Banner mine, which is located in California, was floated in London, capitalized at $150,000. This is belleved to be the forerunner of a host of other mining ventures which will find their way from this country into the English markets. 1f there is even a small part of the interest developed in American mining properties in the next twelve months that has been developed in the South African flclds in the last, there will be no more im- portant factor in the American financlal situ- ation than the evolution of this financial mania for gambitng in mining stocks in its development In relation to this country, - Ladles and children who wish to see the exhibition of fine dogs at Creghton hall should attend during the day, in order o avoid the crowds in the even'ng. el It the gentleman to whom was hanled the child's coat by mistake at Pacific street Thursday night will send address on postal to 1334 Georgia avenue owner will call for same.

Last night was the time set apart for the selection of names to be voted on at the re- publican primary elections next week, when delegates to the county conventions will be chosen, In such wards as did choose a list of names the work was done ve:y perfunc- torily, while some of the wards declined to endorse lists allowing aspirants to go person- ally before the county committee to secure a place on the ticket. Others held no caucuses whatever. Lack of enthuslasm marked the whole proceeding. In the First ward the caucus decided to nominate no delegates, but to permit any voter of the ward who desired to be on the ticket to send in a petition to the county central committee. A motion was then made to ave would-be delegates hand their names publicly to the secretary, but as only a few moments before one member of the caucus had arisen and remarked emphatically that the whole procedure looked like a case of man seeking an office, and not the office seek- ing the man, the motion was snowed under and candidates were instructed to send their petitions in to the centrai committe as sodn as possible. This was not done, however, until almost a fight had started, as some of the members wanted the candidates to an- nounce taemselves, as they did not consider the work of the caucus would be completed until some names had been announcedc The threatened conflict was averted by the passage of a motlon to adjourn, despite the point of order of Morris Morrison that Chairman Han- chet did mot need to consider a motion to adjourn if he did not want to. During the course of the meeting Ikey Hascall arose and moved that the prospective delegation be instructed to vote for Colonel Mel Redfield first, last and all the time, but when he saw waat a commotion his motion was hatching he hurrledly withdrew it. Peter Back said that while Colonel Redfield was a mighty good fellow, he did not believe in tying up the delegation for any one, and a man in the back part of the room arose and declared that he did not believe that the delegation should be sold out to any man before it was elected. This brought Morrison to his feet with another point of order to the effect that any remarks about selling out delegations were calculated to hurt the feelings of a number of the crowd and the speaker ought therefore to be shut off. Hascall stilled the storm by withdrawing the motion, and there- upon it was declared the sentiment of the cau- cus that Mel Redfield was the best man for county clerk. The caucus in the Second ward was quiet and lasted only a short time. No ticket was nominated, but a number of candidates for places on ' the delegations were announ and will be sent to the county central com- mittee. For the delegation to the county convention Frank P. Britt, L. Meyer, Henry Knodell, A. P. Houck, Frank Vodicka, John P. Clark, H. A. Banker, J. W. Carlson, L Masterson and Otto Pulaski are aspirants, Dr. M. Parr, Frank Hromatka, Willlam Gate- wood, Gus Plerson, M. C. Hart, Willlam Nicholas, Herman Stuht and T. Boyle desire to be in the delegation to the judiciary con- vention. A resolution was pased bindimg the delegation to support Mel Redfield for county clerk. Joseph Cavan was endorsed for as- sessor. In the Third ward no caucus was held. HAD IT WELL ARRANGED, The Fourth ward republicans met at Pat- terson hall. The caucus organized by select- ing John W. Battin for chairmen and K. S. Fisher for secretary. Then F. C. O'Hallaren proposed the following list of names for can- didates at the primarfes as delegates to the county nominating econvention: Gustave An- derson, John W. Battin, K. S. Fisher, Ed Haney, E. M. Ilfl, V. G. Lantry, John W. Lytle, Alfonso Wiison and John G. Kuhn, The following were selected as candidates at the primaries as delegates to the county ju- dicial and the county convention to select candidates to the state convention: R. S. Hall, C. A. Goss, W. B. Ten Eyck, R. S. Anglin, J. B. Ralph, J. L. Webster, J. A. Beck, B. H. Mall, William W. McDonald. The lists of names presented were neatly typewritten and no opposition developed to their seler tion. The Fifth Ward club decided to nominate its primary candidates at the regular meet- ing of the club this evening. HAVE A HOST TO PICK FROM. In the finterests of harmony the Sixth ward republicans decided not to nominate candidates for the primaries, but to place twenty-seven names on each ticket and al- low the voters to select the delegates to the convention. The following names were se- lected: For the county nominating convention: B C. Smith, George Shand. H. B. Lowrie, H. B. Leavitt, 'T. J. Lund, Thomas Poy, W. R. Wilson, M. D. Houck, J. W. Long, A. W.

Morse, J. T. Carpenter, G. W. Roberts, W. H. Christie, A, T. Hayes, J. B. Meikle. No caucus was held inthe Seventh, AGAINST A THIRD TERM. In the Eighth ward the club had decided against the caucus, and the member of the central committee of the ward refused to call & caucus, but there was a caucus juet the same. Bub Balcombe was elected chair- man, and about the first action taken was the ‘adoption of a resolution introduced by Prof. W. H. Allen declaring against the nomination of any man for a third consec tive term In any office. The following were selected as candidates for the primaries for the county nominating convention: H. L. Burkett, D. B. Allen, John Planteen, L. N. Reed, C. R. Miller, Charles Pedersen, U. B Balcombe, A. E. Shockley and John Wallace There will be another ticket placed in the fleld by the opposition to Prof. Allen’s anti- third term followers, Atter some discussion the following were selected as primary candidates for delegates to the county, judicial and state delegate con- ventions: A, 'W. Jeffries, Frank Crawford, M. L. Jentson, 8. K. Spaulding, J. S. Miller, Dr. Peter Schwenk, Jim Allen, Charley Youngers and C. E. Morgan. The candidates were instructed, If elected to the udiclal con- ention, to support Judge Ambrose, Judge Keysor and James W. Carr as candidates for the nomination as district judges. Judge Ambrose was called upon and offered a few words of encouragement to the republicans present. Chris Boyer was renominated by acclamation the candldate for assessor votes to bo declared the,nominees, The elec- tion of Murdock was comsidered a victory for McBride over Scott King for county surveyor.

For months past the city council has been passing resolutions and appointing commit- tees to confer with President Murphy and the managers of the Metropolitan Street Rail- way company in an effort to have the com- pany lower the tracks. In some places the car tracks are four feet above the roadbed and consequently Leams cannot cross over from one side to the other. Business men in that locality are continually sending in complaints to the council and the council committees gent to confer with the street railway companies have been continually get- ting the same old answer—a promise that something would be. done after while, Finally the city engineer ordered by the council to establish the grade from Wyman street to Albright. After this had been done an ordinance was passed, compelling the street railway companies to Jay tracks accord- ing to grade.
