= I'm, lOT ILCu EOSh Al lilo vast "Ai-
derness; some boundless contiguity Of
500 ore" Is the ardent prayer Of all
who hold stock In the Ophir. Those
who still think the men being shut
down In the mine is likely to bull the
stock up to a high figure are rabidly
DESTROYS that those men shall be kept
down there till they are gray as bad
gers, while those who think the other
way are quito as tiercely earnest to
have them taken out Of that by fair
means or foul. According to our judg-
ment, the officers Of any mine have a
perfect right to exclude any grand
rush of inquisitive or speculative
stockholders from impeding or inter-
rupting the working Of the mine, yet
the stockholders have n right to know
officially or somehow, the true state Of
ANYTHING in which they are so much
interested rs In this. The Enterprise
of this morning says: "There were
Yesterday to be heard curses both loud
and deep among those who were the
losers by the sudden, unaccountable
and unlooked-for fall in the price Of
Ophir stock. There was an immense
amount of swearing about the plan OF
managing mines which allows one por-
ton Of the stockholders to operate
with their eyes wide open while the
rest are CROPPING about In the dark,
fooled out Of their money by all man
ner Of ruses and false rumors. Even
now, whether there Is something or
nothing in the mine Is only known to
a few. The prevailing opinion ap-
pears to be that they have cut the vein
aud found nothing.'i
The superintendent Of the Ophir,
Mr.. Deidesheimer, caused to be pub
lished a card in this mornings Enter
prise, signed by the four men who are
now shut down in the l,lOO-foot level
of that mine, to the effect that they are
there by their own free will and COLI
sent, aud are satisfied to stay there as
long As Is thought proper by the man
agement of the Ophlr Company. This
card was drawn forth by a letter from
"A Miner" which We published III
Yesterdays NEWS. To-day we pub
iish, without comment, as In the other
case, the following little note from the
same source:
EDITOR NEws:-I am q philanthro-
plst /; my sympathies are ever with
those In distress. When the four miners
were first shut down in the Ophir, and
their beds tumbled In after them, and
the Ophir stocks falling and liable to
crush them, why, l felt for my brother
miners and Was about to get out papers
for their release, Us l informed you by
n note Yesterday. Well, Mr.. Editor,
since that article appeared In your col
umns the men have been we'll cared
for, and have e signed papers to
that effect. l desire now to inform the
public In general, and the said Mining
Company in particular, that shall do
nothing further for their release-they
NAV drift out In the canyon, and take
wears before they again put In an APP
pearance In this city, still l will re-
main silent as long as they are happy
and content rs Swimley's ~boarders."
In conclusion, l would say to all who
were alarmed with my threats with
the fearful arm Of the law, ""Be
virtuous and you will be happy
Very truly yours, MINER.
