From the Alta California, July llth.l
A telegram from the Superintendent
Of the 0verman states:
"Received since last shipment, Sl6,-
900; discussed, $4,000. No returns
from Sacramento Mill till tomorrow.
On hand at mine and mills, $50 tons
ore. We take out so tons a day now.
"McCuLLoUGB."
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of this company was held to-day.
The whole number Of shares is 5000.
OF these about 100 are held by the COM
pany, abandoned for old assessments.
There remain about 8 100 held by more
than one hundred holders. or these
2,92l shares were present and voted
unanimously for the following Trustees:
j.. J. Robbins, j. E. de Ia Montagnie, A.
K. Grim, John Sine, H. L. Hill. j.
Robbins, ESQ.,, having declined a re-
election as president, ]. E. de Ia Mon
tagnie, Esq, was elected President; J.
Norwood, Secretary. There was no
regular Secretary's report, owing to the
uuwarrantable absence Of the outgoing
Secretary from his post The assets OF
the Company, as we'll as could be aseer-
tanned from the books as left BY Mr..
Newly, including SAB 900 in the Bank
Of California, $500 in the safe, $4,000
with the Superintendent, and some bars,
amount to ~68 ,4s3, and no debts. What
n change has thus been wrought in a
few weeks by the new Superintendent.
Mr.. Mccullough was reinstated Superin-
tendeut Of the mine, and the proceed
ings forwarded to Virginia, where their
presence before the Court will quash
the legal proceedings commenced by
the defunct Board Of Trustees in favor
of Curtis.
The history of this stockholders cleo
ton exhibits one Of the greatest out
RACES ever attempted. The mine was
kept shut for practical purposes, and in
the past year SIPS, 900 "a levied for
assessments, while, as is since proved,
there was great wealth in the mine. In
| May Mr.. Montagnie went into the Board
and forced the appointment Of McCul-
Tough az Superintendent. He al once
sent down $4,000 in bullion. In return
three Trustees, who have only a uomi-
nal interest, attempted to put him ont.
The stockholders ordered him to stay.
The annual meeting takes place July
llth. The three Trustees passed a reso-
luton that it should not take place until
October. The President, however, called
the regular meeting for to-day. The
Secretary, who is one Of the Trustees,
then locked up books and safe, and left
the city without the knowledge of any
| of the officers. The President took pos.
session, appointed A. K. Grim Secre-
,ary, and got the lists ready for the
election. At twelve o'clock to-day be
was served with an injunction on the
part OF two Trustees, who hold two
shares, forbidding the counting Of the
stock issued by Mr.. Grim at the cleo
lion, and slso enjoiniug Grim from act
ing as Secretary. Mr.. Grim. was, how
ever, elected Secretary of the %stockhold-
ers' meeting unanimously. The paper
was Of no other value than to compel
the preparation of a new list, leaving
out the stock signed by Grim. This kept
the meeting half an hour. This small
exhibition Of malice is an illustration
of the base uses to which the noble
science of the law may be prostituted.
The meeting WAS then called to order,
when a lawyers apprentice appeared on
behalf Of Mcpherson, owning one share,
and Kirkham, holding six, and protested
against the election. No notice was
taken of him other than a motion to
proceed 10 business. The list was then
called, disclosing A. W. Mcpherson, one
share; Horace Morrison, one share
Richard Newly, two shares. These are
the three retiring Trustees who wished
TO control the property. The call Of
the names elected general evidence Of
suppressed indignation. The whole list,
2,s2l, then voted as above.
