I believe shares exist to raise capital to exploit a natural resource in this case. But if I already have a profitable mine, I doubt I'd have much incentive to invite others to share ownership of that mine. However, if I have a hole in the ground that doesn't produce anything of value, then it's in my interest to sell shares of it since that might be my only income.
Just a thought really - in spite of hearing many good Twain quotes in my life, this was a new one to me, so I'm kind of working through it.
