Show OHIO LOOKS CHEESY. If the aggrieved citizens of the east think it a joke to have their money on a dead card, let them hold a heart-to-heart talk with the sports who invested in Ohio Copper at ?4 and $5 three years ago. Not one of these Ohio holders but would be money in pocket if the management had extinguished conflicting interests the diverse ownership of Mascotte tunnel, for instance at any price. Such a solution would have saved the O1 o company three year's profits and prevented ruinous decline in the market value of its res. Moreover, there is nothing in the Ohio situation that forecasts a change for the better unless it be the introduction of some new-fangled crushing machinery by Col. B. A. Wall. Col. Wall declares that his rolls will enable the Ohio milling mill-ing plant to crush 3,000 tons in the same time and at less cost than 1,500 tons with the present equipment. All of this is interesting, whether true or not, but it does not bring much balm to the Ohio. It asks for cash and Col. Wall brings it machinery! He himself says that he has purchased pur-chased neither stock nor bonds in the company. Co. Wiall is reputed to have more ready cash , than a farmer has hay and if he doesn't see fit to invest, it stands the fellow with the stack of whites in hand to keep out of the pot. 1 4 |
