The Sale of the Emma Mine.

LETTER FROM T. W. PARK, EsQ.-LETTERs
FROM GEN. BAXTER, JUDGE POLAND,
HON. E. J. PHELPS AND SENATOR STEW
ART.-A LIBEL REFUTED.
FEBRUARY 0. 1874.
To the Editor Of the Free Press and Times:
Some time since a man of no character,
by the name of Paford, published IA pam
phlet in London purporting to give bis
tory of the Emma Mine and my connec-
ton with It, The substance of that pam
phlet was published some weeks ago in the
Nation of New York, and its article has
been copied into two or three Vermont pa
pers, and has been made the basis of at
tacks upon myself and gentlemen associat-
ed with me in business enterprises in my
State Ny habit has ever been to allow
charges against me to go unnoticed, OBJ
serving that time always vindicates the
right. In this case, however, the transac-
tions having occurred thousands of miles
away, and their history not being easily
accessible to this community, and in jus
tice to myself and my friends, l have
thought 1T proper to make this simple
statement of facts, showing conclusively,
think, that the publication above allud-
ed to, is tissue of misstatements and
falsehood from beginning to end.
ask YOU, therefore, to publish this and
the accompanying communications, and
also, request that part of the press of the
State that is disposed to see justice done,
to copy the same; Iregret the length, but
could say no less, and make a clear and
complete statement.
NV connection with the Emma Mine
and its sale is as follows:
In April, 1871, went to Utah with Gen.
Fl. H. Baxter, and we examined the Emma
Mine and the title of the same, which was
involved in serious litigation. We pur-
chased one-half of the mine and paid cash
for it. We worked the mine vigorously
after the purchase, and in the July follow
ing declared dividend of S250,0OO from
the earnings.
In July, 1871, 1 went to Utah with e.
J, Phelps, Esq, as counsel, to attend to
the litigation, and while there examined
the mine again and found its appearance
had improved. Mr.. Phelps visited the
mine with NE.
In the August following, the litigation
was settled, and we obtained United
States patent, which made the title perfect
There were then twelve owners in the
mine, and after obtaining the patent it wa.
determined to sell the whole, or a portion
of it. and to offer it in England, for thu
reason that England is the great market
for the mines Of the world. She owns
most of the valuable mines, and is fully
informed concerning them, having num-
Der of able journals devoted to mining
matters solely. The ores of the Emma
Mine, both before and after our purchase
had been shipped to Bath 4 Son, and

THE EMMA NINE. THE attack made
on Hon. L. w. Park of Bennington, in the
Nation giving further currency to the
charges in the malicious pamphlet of Paf
ford in regard to the Emma Mine, has
been spread far and near by the press, and
in justice to the citizens of Vermont, so
bitterly assailed, we publish this week
several letters taken from the Free
Press. They set forth for themselves the
nature of the transactions that have been
SO perslstently lied about. We are glad to
have clear statement of the whole mat
ter that the people can see how wholly
without foundation, the multitude of slurs
and innuendoes, meaner than direct charges
can be, that have been going the rounds,
have been.
