B, smithson. Secretary Of ths Dissatisfied
Stockholders Of the Day 8. NJ. Company, made
its appearance In the San Francisco Chronicle
of August l1th
We. the undersigned, representing the di5-
satisfied stockholders OF the Day Silver Mining
Company and the plaintiffs In the action here
tofore brought In the Fifteenth District Court.
for an Injunction to restrain said Company and
its officers from collecting the assessment levied
on the capital stock, after thorough investiga-
ton of the books, vouchers and affairs OF the
Company In the San Francisco office. lind that
said books and vouchers have been properly
kept, and that none OF the money OF properly OF
said Company has been Incorporated. We
fud the rumors aud accusations cha rged against
Mr. M, j. Mcdonald, Of conversion Of funds
and property to be unfounded.
Since the arguments in said action in the Fiji
teenth District Court, further vouchers have
been received from the mine. which satisfactorily
accounts for each item which the defendants,
on account of the absence of such vouchers.
could not at that time fully explain.
We find that the ore Of the mine Ia OF a char
scter to require smelling. and cannot be advan-
tageously worked by milling; that there have
been thus far no available facilities for smelling
the same, and the management have been CON-
PEELED to have the same milled, although at q
disadvantage, and that under these circumstan-
ces an Indebtedness was incurred. which rem
dered an assessment necessary to liquidate the
same.
We have therefore cansed the said action and
the Injunction issued therein to be dismissed
and we specially request all who have not paid
said assessment to pay the same at once.
The dissatisfied stockholders now have rep
resentative In the management Of the Company,
and MISUNDERSTANDING have been explained and
adjusted; furnace will soon be available, at
which the ore Of the mine can be smelted, and
we confidently look forward to satisfactory
results.

True, Mr.. Enterprise. the cases are not
identical; the difference being. that while
the Nye County Republican Central
Committee chose their delegates to the
State Convention from among the Re-
publican voters, outside of the Central
Committee. the Lincoln County Central
Committee took precious good care to
appoint delegates from the "ring.'
The Enterprise tries hard to hide the
dirty work OF the County Central Com
mittee Of Lincoln, while it rears and
rants at the Committee Of Nye county,
which acted by far more just than the
Committee Of this county. Mr.. Daggett
