The Chicago Stock Exchange had refused to list mining shares, due to its speculative nature, so the Chicago Mining Exchange was founded in 1882.
The Chicago Mining Exchange had been organized, and the following officers elected for the ensuing year: President, General G. R. Vernon; First Vice-President, Judge J. W. Finney; Secretary, E. M. Greene ; Treasurer, E. E. Wood.
