SAN FRANCISCO, November ga meeting
Ofthe directors of the San Francisco and
New York Commercial and Mining Com
pany was held yesterday afternoon, to re
ceive reports from geological survey sent
out under Clarence KING, and consisting of
Dir. King, d. D. Cotton, Surveyor Bost and
Mr., Frey Folamin.
! As reports from the survey were read de-
nouncIng the whole pretended discovery as
gigantic fraud, the trustees at once adopt
ed a resolution in effect that the fraud be
ct once and fully exposed, in order that the
public may be protected; also, that no more
stock be issued OF transferred, and that the
corporation be dissolved as soon as practi-
cable.
The public is warned against any further
transactions on facts of alleged discoveries
All stock thus far sold is still held by w.
c. RaIstOn at the Bank Of California, and
the original incOrpOrators will assume the
entire loss from the operations Of the com
pany.
The report of Clarence King gives thc
operations Of his surveys in detail in the
vicinity of Table Rock. Diamonds and RI
bies were found on the surface and in
crevices, but in every instance of a find
there was evidence that The soil had been
tampcred with. In crevices where there
were no traces of the work Of man no eYi-
dence Of the existence Of precious stones
was discovered.
Some diamonds were found in what egere
evidently artificial holes. The conclusion
arrived at by King is that the gems + md
were in positions where they would have
been deposited by the hands Of man, and
that none exist where, if their occurrence
had been genuine the inevitable laws Of na-
ture would have placed them
Finally, he asserts that the reputed dIa
mond fields have been saltcd or spattered
over with stones for the purpose Of deceiz
ing unskilled searchera. Reports Of other
explorers corroborate Kings statement.
The Bulletin some time since published q.
partial expose Of operations Of Arnold, the
man who sold the original discovery to the
San Francisco Herding Company for $780,
600. 1t is said that the directors at the
time Of this publication became satisfied OF
the fraud.
A profound sensation has been caused by
the diamond fraud exposure made by Clar
renee King, Henry Jarvin and d. D. Cotton.
The reports are that efforts viii be made to
bring the guilty parties to justice. Mean
time Stanton and others, just from that
country, insist upon the genuineness OF the
discoveries and deposits Of diamonds, Jar
win says all tests proved that the diamonds
and rubies were placed where found, else
where the ground 10 entirely bare.
