The proceeds Of the stocks SOLD amount to only

investigating Committee, ana to vote upon skiing
en- assessment for the purpose of paying off the deb.
Of the Company. large amount Of Stock was rapre-
sented and by vote Of about LOG 900 share, out Of
10000, which are in the hands Of the public. Az
assessment of 70 ceLts y share was laid under the
authority of an Act Of our Legislature obtained at

which the meeting voted should never be Issued
less authorized by vote of the stockholders, a,
meeting called for that purpose. Tee report of the
COMMITTEE was very full, snd proved conclusivey
that the dividends paid by the Company were lever
earned. These dividends were y cent. every sixty
dsys; bur the report shows that In come Of these
dividend periods the mine had not yielded profit Of
81 Geo. whe the dividends amounted 10 some Ell 900
or $4,000. 1t would appear that every dollar
Of gold taken out, and In most cases even mora
must have been borrowed, was forwarded to New

mine was run in debt for all the working ex-
penses, construction, &c. Tho aggregate dividnds
declared We think, was about s95. 900, and the
gain Of the Company only about $780, 900. The debt
Of TIE Company is sl2s OO0 in round numbers, in
clu6ng the balance of the purchase money. the

vgor and the eross yield of the fret three weeks Of
April war il We remember the figures correctly, some
$4,000 OF the richness and value Of the mine
there appears to be no doubt and properly and eco
nomicslly managed, it was the opinion of one of the
CoInnitee of considerable mining experience that it
could be made to pay y cent. y srnum on par.
