Company stock, and are surprised at the
low price at which it is selling on the
Board and cannot make out the reason
for its continued depreciation, but the
cause lies in San Francisco. 1t is not
the fault of the management in Silver
Reef the Company there working the
mine and mill as cheap as is possible.
The real cause is that o stockbroker
who was one of the original subscribers,
was promised G,000 shares at bedrock
prices, but shortly after the stock was
placed on the Board it commenced to
raise and the management refused to let
him have the shares except at marget
| prices This he thought was breach
of faith, and he has done all he possibly
eau to keep the stock down and threatens
to run it altogether off the Board.
