and finally. when checks were given in
good faith by E. R. Clute, the Superin.
tendent, and the news of those checks
being protested reached Phoebe. owing
to some members of the Board Of Trus-
tees having used the money collected on
assessments for other purposes. matters
reached Il crisis and threats OF suits, at
chments, holding the mine, were in
dulged in very freely last Sunday, not
only by miners, but by other creditors.
Seeing this state OF affairs and that the
matter must be attended to at once,
Superintendent Clute visited the mine
at O'Clock Monday morning and made
such statements to the miners going on
that shift that they resolved to go to
work. and accordingly did 80. He then
came to town and posted notices calling
meeting of all those having claims
against the Alps Company at IL o'clock,
at the Company's Office. Promptly at
the above hour o large crowd of credi-
tors assembled at the Office. Mr.. Clute
then made O statement that the Com
pany owed about $4,000, $4,000 OF
which was due to the miners, and that
be was willing, with the consent of
the other creditors, to pay out to
the miners pro rata. according to
L., hap oil ha eoooy ~
from the mine as fast as taken in; that
the receipts were about 1000 per week
and it would not take much over three
weeks to settle up with them, and that
be would furnisNsupplies and wait until
the miners were paid; in the meantime
the other creditors would stand back.
He explained that if suits were com.
menced the Company would be thrown
into bankruptcy, and they all know what
that meant. At the request of Mr.. Clute
the miners present appointed P. j.
Cullen, Michael O'Brien and Il. r. Clute
as a committee to attend to disbursement
of the money received. the creditors all
agreeing to give the Superintendent o
show to work out of the present muddle.
During the week Mr.. Cullen, desiring to
shortly leave for Rock Greek, withdrew
from the committee and Joseph Poujade
was selected to act in his place.
From statements made by Mr.. Cullen,
Foreman OF the mine, it was shown that
the mine was in a splendid condition and
able to pay if the necessary time was
given but that it was impossible to rush
things any faster than was now being
done. and we think ourselves that the
creditors exhibited good sense and done
the best thing possible in accepting the
situation and agreeing to wait.
