EX-SENATOR STEWARDS STORY.
A version of the Emma Mine SwindIe-
All Of Them Honest Excent LYana

SAN Francisco, March 2.-Ex-Senator
Stewart expects to start next Tuesday
for Washinton to testify in the Emma
Mine investigation. He says that in the
first meeting with Lyons In 1871 he
was favorably impressed with the mer-
it's Of Lyons claim to an interest In the
Emma Mine, and went to Salt Lake to
push the case as legal adviser He
thought at the time that Judge Nc
Kean was prejudiced against Lyon, and
endeavored to procure his removal,
but afterward became convinced that
McKoan acted impartially. He found
on examination that Lyons claim was
not as good as 1t at first appeared,
and advised a compromise with the
Erhma Company. In this connection he
wrote a letter to Lyon in which the ex-
preston occurred, Better have COM
promise than u worked out mine"
meaning that to enforce Lyons claim
would require a litigation OF years, and
in the mean time the mine might be
worked out.
II went to England" Mr.. Stewart
says, as agent for Lyon, with Park as
agent for the company. We were mt
once besieged by parties wishing to pur-
chase. l received proposition from
Coates and Hankey to buy half inter
est at 81, 100000, they to put the stock on

Silliman to report ons the nine. AL
pearance, and at his suggestion I got
Schenck to come in as director, be-
lieving at the time that the mine was
valuable property When the storm
was raised about Schenck being di-
rector, he resigned, but held on to his
stock, still believing II to be valuable,
and subsequently lo,i on it, Neither
Schenck nor myself received any
stock, stock as a, gift. My own was
in professional capacity, Mr.. Schenck
bought his and raised the money pay
for them. Lyon then wanted to realize
on his interest, and gave me a bill OF
sale, and / gave a note for $3.50, 900 to
Park, who advanced the amount to
Lyon Lyon then began to sell short
and circulate stories ia depreciation of
the mine. The stockholders sent o
committee to examine the mine, who re-
ported it all right. Stock kept up, and
Lyon could not cover his shorts. He
then threatened to commence suit to
recover an additional amountsfor his
interest, which was compromised by
Park paying him $4,000 more, which he
also selling short. In the summer OF
1872 I went to Salt Lake in the interest Of
the Emma Company, the nine hav-
ing been jumped by the Illinois tunnel.
The mine was then looking WELL but
shortly afterward fault occurred in the
lead. The company ran about sixty feet
into the hanging wall and stopped, in
stead Of going down to the lead.
/ believe the mine still very valuable
il properly worked. Since opera
tians were stopped, the Bay City Tun-
mel Company has been under the
old Emma workings, and it is in rich
ore on Emma ground. Lyon has been
making a living for years by litigation.
His evidence before the House commit
tee is a tissue Of falsehoods.
Stewart did not attempt to explain the
manner in which Mr.. Schenck raised
the money to buy his stock, not being
familiar with details, but presumed he
got portion Of it from Park.
