Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-06-22

concerning this mine, its stock, and its
officers, have been all the rage in Gold
Hill and Virginia city, for the past
week-and the end thereof is not yet.
The following, which we copy from the
commercial report Of the Alta Of We'd
nesday evening, throws still more light
on the subject, and will be read with
interest by the stockholders over here
in this land Of cash aud honest hearts
THE Overman excitement was q good
deal increased to-day by the fall Of the
stock from $500 to $500 at the close.
This fall was occssioned by the action
OF the Trustees in aid of a bear move
ment. Without on this occasion going
too much into detail, we may state gen
orally what has been we'll known, that
the Overman has long been possessed
of ore which was not worked, and the
former Superintendent, Mr.. Maxwell,
was put out because he hoisted ore.
Within II few weeks, new parties took
hold, and Mr.. J. E. De La Montagnie
became a Trustee, when Mr.. McCulloch
was made Superintendent, and the de-
velopment Of the ore at once took place,
sending the stock from $40 to $500.
Mr.. Lockhart then made an elaborate
report, which shows that a very
valuable mine exists there. But
the old Trustees desire to retain control,
and to-day discharged Mr.. McCulloch,
the Superintendent, under whose direc-
ton the recent developments were made.
This knocked the stock at the morning
Board 10 240. The Trustees then be-
came assured that the majority OF the
stock is held by parties who are in favor
Of q development Of the mine, and who
will replace the old Trustees at the cleo
ton to be held July llth. To avoid this
they passed q resolution, adjourn
ing the annual election to October 18th.
The vote was thus: \. W. Mcpherson,
Mr.. Morrison, Mr.. Newly, Secretary, in
favor Of pos,ponemeut till October the
lltb; Mr.. Robbins, the President, and
and Mr.. Montagnie, in favor Of the meet
ing at the regular time, July llth. This
is held to be clearly illegal;
and Mr.. Robbins, the President, rs will
be seen by the notice in another column,
calls the regular annual meeting OF
stockholders, AS prescribed BY law, Tor
July llth, when the majority Of stock
holders will decide the question. The
effect Of the postponement Of the cleo
ton would be to keep illegally in
office the present trustees and officers;
bu, Mr.. Robins refuses to retain office
on such terms. If he holds office il will
be only BY the free vote of the stock
holders a, their regular meeting. The
conduct Of the Trustees becomes the
more remarkable when it is known that
A. W. Mcpherson, lumber-dealer, holds
one share, Horace Morrison, clerk,
holds one share, and Mr.. Newly, form
erly manager OF q British Bank here,
Ave or ten shares more or less. These
three Trustees, holding a dozen shares,
propose TO keep themselves in office by
depriviug the stockholders Of their le-
gal right TO vote at an annual meeting.
The rumor of the postponement knocked
the stock TO 5000 At the afternoon
board. The success Of the postpone
ment movement might be followed by a
return of the stock to $40, and new as
sessmeuts, probably, to pay the expense
of closing up the mine, under the direc-
ton Of Ur,G MAJOR. The annual meet
ing will take place, however, under the
call of the President, July 18th, and the
stockholders will pursue such a course
as they may think proper. The Trus-
tees, in dismissing Mr.. McCulloch, re-
placed by Mr.. Lambert, the foreman,
and a good man. An advertisement In
another column states that the holders
of Overmau stock which has been sold
for taxes a recover it By paying the
assessment, $40 each share, at the office
