He urged the members to concentrate on more important matters, one of which was, to his mind, the amendâ€" ment of the regulation that demanded that vendors‘ stock remain pooled and in escrow until the mine goes into proâ€" duction, and also of the regulation that which fixed the price of vendors‘ stock at a minimum Oof 15 cents.
