ALLEGED MINING SCRIP SWINDLES.
[By Teleqbaph.] Dunedin, March 19. The “Times” says that since the departure from Dunedin of a well-known commission ami mining agent, events have transpired tending to cause some uneasiness in business circles. On Saturday rumors were in circulation as to alleged irregularities which have been discovered or which are supposed in connection with one of the mining companies with which the agent alludes to was connected. It was freely asserted that duplicate scrip of this Company had been issued, and although considerable reserve is maintained upon the matter by the directors, it is understood that an investigation is taking place. The uneasiness thus created has extended to other companies and the directors of another of the mining companies with which the absconder held similar relations have thought it prudent to call upon all shareholders to present their scrip for verification.
