We do not know who is ut the bottom
of this anonymous movement to create
a suspicion concerning tho business
management of the Yellow Jacket min
and we confess that We are q little
surprised at the Enterprise publishing
such an advertisement without the
name of some responsible party being
appended to it. We copy it into
this article merely to show its
mysterious character-and we do so
without making any charge therefor.
As IN advertisement we decline to pub
lish it, unless Tome responsible, as we'll
as positively interested party in the
mine, signs it in u presence. Any
adventurer, or worthless scapegrace,
can get up just such an advertisement
against any and every mining Board of
Trustees, and officers belonging to every
company on tho Comstock-hsnce, we
feel surprised that u contemporary in
Virginia would allow such an irrespon-
sibls advertisement to appear in its
columns; and we arc still further sur
prised at the following comments on the
same in its local column:
STOCKHOLDERS MErrrNo.-It vii! be seen By a

Company who are dissatisfied with the management
OF the company affairs. Is called at the Dlsttiet
Courtroom. In this city. on Monday, evening, Oeto-
Der II. On general principles. we believe the meet
| Ing will be pretty numerously attended. The object
OF the meeting Is limited to point towards IAN inves.

The stockholders Of the Yellow Jacket
mine held their annual meeting we be-
lieve in July last, and at which they
elected a set of officers to serve for tho
ensuing year. Every stakeholder in
that company had a fair chance at the
election, and be could vote, according
to his interest, just for whoever he
pleased. But by the foregoing adver.
tisemen., if it smanated from any stock
holder or stockholders at all, it would
seem as though somebody else than the
present I" Management had aspirations
for tho official control of the Yellow
Jacket. Why, any person with but a
share Of stock has got the right to de-
mand an examination of the books oil
the company, if he suspects anything
wrong-a principle the present officers
have never denied.
The Yellow Jacket mine has always
been we'll conducted, and never better
than under the management OF it'
present officers. And if there are any
s~ore-beads now, because Of the panic
in the stock market, and the mine hai
been unable to declare any dividends
for the last FIVE months by reason Of the
unfortunate calamity in April last, wher
the whole property came near being de-
stroyed-wby, they had better try ant
hold on to their stocks, aud run Ii
chances usually encountered in stock
sp~ecula,ious. An unauthorized, I'M
official meeting Of stockholders i n any
mining company would amount to moth
ing-and the above assemblage, if II
meets, will just end in smoke.
We will briefly review the work o.
the Yellow Jacket, for a little upward
Of a year and a half. In January, 1868,
an assessment was levied which yielded
$3.50, 900. This was the only assess
ment levied in 1868. In November Of
the same year, dividends began to be
declsred-and between November, 1868,
and March, 1860, in FIVE months, the
handsome sum of seven hundred and
twenty thousand dollars was disbursed
among tho stockholders, as dividends.
On the 18th Of April the calamity oc.
Cured, aud for nearly a month it was
impossible to do any work in the mine.
When the works again started up, three
months were nearly occupied in getting
the mine again into q healthy condi.
ton, and in prospecting. On the Isl
Of October the north works Of
the mine will be started up, aud
ore extracted from n portion Of the
the mine which has not beon in use fol
several years. Aud as the whole prop.
erty is now in a good working condition
for the winter, really wo cannot see
necessity on tho part of any Of it,
stockholders for being discouraged, no.
any reason why anonymous meeting.
should be called, from which infsrences
might be drawn US rejecting upon thu
present officers of the company.
