California, and member of the firm of Palmer Cooke &
Co. San Francisco the lessons of the mine question
Wright made long speech in defence of the lease and
among other things, said:
Colonel Fremont on his arrival in this country had
consulted Mr. Lawrence, the American Minister and MIR
Lawrence had recommended him to put himself in com
muncation with the Messrs Barring and they again had
referred him to their solicitors the Messrs Lawford Col
Fremont at present engaged with those gentlemen in
careful examination of the state Of his affairs in this
country and if it appeared that the sale which had been
made by Mr. Benton valid sale the whole Marposa
property would pass to Mr.. Sargent
question put for the purpose of ascertainng why
Colonel Fremont who was in London not present
at the meeting.
Mr Wright explained that he was then engaged in con-
taton with the Messrs Lawford matters Of great
urgent Importance to himself that he not directly
involved in the affairs of the company their being
held from Palmer Cooke Co. that at present his legal
int public explanation, which might perhaps
hereafter prejudice his interests (Cheers)
Mr.. 'ireen made observations the extravagant
character of the statements put forth in the prospectus
of the company.
The Chairman stated that whatever the prospectus
rni,ed based on the best information they could
y procure and on the reports of their engineers.
Mr. Wright further stated by way of explanation that
piece of stone sent to the office of his firm from
the Maposa district and it not thought there of
particular value When their premises burnt down
thought of saving this stone and it got broken
and the pieces picked up by those who liked Sena
tor Gwn picked up piece, and having it assayed
mentioned its value in Congress which showed by calcu
ationStha the whole stone was worth $4,000, If his
friend Green dissatisfied he (Mr Wright would give
e. for every FL of stock he held in it, and. to every
wished to surrender his stock, he would once
give e. for every FL invested lie only to show
that tIty in California had, living fact vauab,
property The English had what they had not. viz ;
great mount of capital, and thorough knowledge
of mining The English people had hitherto done near,
all the mining of the world, and the Americans would
glad be assisted by the roserving fair share of tn
profits for themselves.
then resolved that the best thanks of the meetin
to Mr. Wright for the very satisfactory state
nd that the shareholders determined to carr
out III objects of the company.
