ACARD FROM SAM. T. CURTIS.
From the San Francisco Bullstin Of June 2lst. ]

| = EOu kAC s~& 49,
There Is considerable talk IN stock circles about
the Overman Mining Company and the dlsaffsc.
ton which 10 reported 10 exist among the Trus.
tees. 1t IL well known that there have been two
or three changes In the Superintendency Of this
Mine during the past few weeks and this fact.
together with some difference Of opinion about
the time for holding the annual meeting for the
election Of officers, has engendered considerable
III feelings between the Stockholders and the
Trustees, az well - between the Tru .tees them
s,lyes, and made the affairs OF tho Company q
prominent theme OF conversation among stock
deAlerA Al Just intimated. one Of The points In
dispute II the removal Of Mr. Mccullough from
the SUPPLEMENTARY Of the Mine. This gentle.
man was regularly appointed to that position on
the 24th OF May. Upon arrival at the Mine, and
and after taking q general survey thereof, he
communicated the result Of bis observations to
the Trustees, under date Of June lat. Nothing
further was heard from him until June 18th, when
he stated that he had made yomo important de.
yelopmeutG Some Of the Trustees have reason
to believe that he did not communicate this lnfor.
nation a. promptly AZ he might have done and
that In tho meantime he or bis friends made use
of their knowledge to buy up available stock at
. low figure. Hence he was removed, 10 far au
he official act Of a majority Of the Trustees WAS
concerned. We understand. however, that some
Of the Stockholders at Virginia city, insist ON hi,
being continued In Office. How this difficulty
will 30 settled, time will tell. We should natu.
ally Infer that the authority which conferred the
appointment was fully qualified to revoke II,
With regard to the time for holding the annual
meeting, the bylaws Of the Company state that
IL shalI be held on the second Tuesday 10 July.
In compliance with this section. the President
has called the meeting for that day. Three Of
the Trustees do not want the meeting held until
october, and. under the authority given by the
by laws, q resolution was passe I TO that effect at
slatc meeting Of the Trustees. The section TO
which we refer IL as follows:
Article ~, Section / The Bylaws may be-
altered or amended at any meeting Of the Trus.
tees The Justice or injustice Of such a bylaw.
10, Of course, open to criticism. Il IL one Of the
rules adopted by the Company, and under the
authority conveyed by It, the Trustees have Al.
tered the bylaws on three several occasions. On
the two hrst occasions the authority to do 80 was
never questioned. With two presidents In their
favor. Q majority Of the Trustees, at the late
meeting above referred to. voted to change the
by law In reference to the time for holding the
annual meeting, 30 as to convene the Stockhold.
ers In October instead Of July. Under the gu.
thorlty ofthe section above quoted, Il would seem
that their action was legitimate. In respect 10
the late activity 10 this stock, many believe that
there Is no good reason for the rapid rise. From
June lat TO 18th nothing was heard from the
Superintendent at the office In this city ; and vet
10 the meantime the Ltock rose from SR3 10 1900
II rich ore was struck during this interval, Ar /.
maintained BY some parties, mono but favored
ones seem 10 have been In tho secret. ManIfertly
Il was the duty Of the Superintendent, upon
making the reported disco veries, to hsys com.
inundated tho facts Immediately to the Office In
this city by telegraph or letter. or both. Tho
continued absence az the office Of any official In.
formation touching such rich dlscoyeries Of or.
at this mrno N arc reported on the street mus,
naturally strengthen the opinion, already enter.
tanned by some, that the whole movom mt to run
up TIL. stock bears q suspicious char acter. We
understand that at a meeting Of tho Trustees, held
to-day. Samuel T. Curtis WAS elected SunerIn.
tendent ofthe Mime. with legal power TO ss.um.
the position which Mr.. Mccullough Is reported 10
have densdto tho Hate appointee, Mr.. Lambert
Having Just read Mr.. Mccullough card In thu
EHtsrpriss. ofthis morning. 1 now state tina, from
my Information ! believe everything stated there.
In TO bs untrue, and that the above extract from
the BEAsffn 10 a true statement Of the facts, and
moro especially a. on my last demand for posse,
sion Of the mine, this afternoon, by order Of tho
Trustees. Mr.. Mccullough stated Tho owned too
much stock to allow any one else to have charper
when no talk about 'manIpulators' OF ths
stock. old residents ofthis country, both az A stats
and Territory, when they look ct past records Of
him. aud those working with him In this matter.
Will very easily form an opinion whether they
work for the good Of Stockholdara In the Ovsrmsn
