ing tho time when no work WAS being

drew $3.50 per month; the President,
Pritchard, drew 500 per month, and
the Secretary, Townsend, 500 per
month. In looking over the books the
committee found that the amount of

lows: Pritchard, Raymond and Gillev-
! cray shares each, and Hyneman 80
shares. Wclch, the former Supcrintcn-

contradictcd tho statencnts mndc by the
latter and derohnced him rs n liar. lie
said the claim purchased by the direct
ors of Ryan for $4,000 belonged, or
rather was claimed by Redmond, who
gave Ryan n power Of attorney to sell il
for him. Ryan was 10 receive one
fourth of the proceeds Of the sale; Red
mond to receive one-fourth, and two
other gentlemen like amount each;
the net prico to be $4,000. Ryan sold
the claim, stating to Mr.. Wclch and TO
Redmond that lie received $5,0on, :I-
thoUgh TIE books of the Company show
that $4,000 was paid, and Ryan now
says he received the latter amount, but
neglected to pay Redmond his share,
saying thht he put it into stocks and lost
II, but promises to pay il some time in
the far distant futurei probably when
the sun grows cold, etc. Ryan took
$4,000 i'll notes, which lie had made to
himself, instead Of Redmond. No def
mite action was taken by the stockhold-
ers, and tho meeting adjourned, subject
to the call of the Chairman.
