Mr.. PARKS SEIZURE OF THE EMMA NINE.
WILL HE ORGANIZE A NEW COMPANY 1.-THE Fx-
FERENCE or STOCKHOLDERS IN COMPANIES con-
TRoILEp BY HIM.
To mo Edftor Of Tho TrfbuHe.
SIR: learn by dispatches from Salt Lake City
that the United States Marshal has sold out the
Emma Mine to satisfy Judgment obtained by the
n. Y. Loan and Indemnity Company and /. w.
Park, and that the property has reverted to tho pos
session of Mr.. Park, subject to redemption by the
Emma Silver Mining Company, Limited.
In case this redemption is not made, Mr. Park pro-
poses to resume work on the mine, and perhaps he
may form another company and give his fellow
citizens a chance to take the stock. He could
not expect to do much in England in this,
line. How long will It be before the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company aud the Panama Railroad
Company meet the same fate as the Emma Mine, and
be sold out and bought in by the same parties, eav-
ing the poor stockholders without anything, like the
stockholders Of the Mariposa Mining Company, Bos-
ton and Montreal Railroad Harlem Extension Rail-
road, Providential Silver Mining Company, and the
Lebanon Springs Railroad How long will investors
allow themselves to be swinded by the eininently
respectable person who is now managing the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and the Panama Railroad
Company There are several respectable ana re-
spOasibe gentlemen connected with both these conf
panies against whom no word Of reproach can be
written But do they intend to have their
names coupled with T. w. Parks, in his various
schemes to bankrupt aud ruin the companies and
allow their stockholders to be robbedf Every com
pany he has ever been connected with in the past
has come to grief and the only person who has bene-
hted by the rum has been TrenOr W. Park. 1t does
not require prophet to foretell the ultimate fate OF
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and the
Panama Railroad Company and If the innocent
stockholders do not take warning from the past,
they will have none but themselves to blame when
the disaster befalls them K.
