Mining Laws: Feet Versus Shares The difference between stock issued in "feet" and those in "shares" is a topic that was difficult for investors to comprehend in the 1860s, and still a complex issue for today's historians. Stocks denominated in feet seem to have first appeared in the 1850s in a few California mining regions, and became law only in those districts. By 1864, however, the practice clouded the whole issue of corporate ownership. If a mine owned 1,500 feet along a lode, and company sold 150 ten-foot sections, then there could only be 150 owners. Sometimes, it was rumored, such a mine would sell 300 ten-foot sections of a 1,500 foot claim, thus overselling the property. What were the stockholders' rights? Which ten feet did they own? To tackle this issue, California mining laws addressed the companies as partnership. Each partner had the same rights as any other partner in proportion to the share to the share of the company that he owned. Each partnership, when certain conditions were met, were companies or corporations and thus subject to certain laws of the state. Corporations which tried to slide through legal loopholes by using feet instead of shares were treated equally to other companies, and the practice was soon dropped.
