sometime after the Richmond had en-
joined the Albion, Superintendent Robin
son, OF the latter mine, left Eureka for
san Francisco on business connected with
us company. After his departure all sorts
Oh rumors affecting his good name and
standing we're started from no one could
tell where. The Albion Company. it was
alleged, had been outrageously swindled.
and the Silver Peak Tunnel Company was
also said to have been placed in a preca-
lious condition by the absent Superinten-
dent. The Albion stockholders in this
section most Of whom had no personal
acquaintance with Mr.. Robinson, became
alarmed at these continued reports, and
their alarm turned to anger when it was
rumored that large quantities Of ore was
Deing extracted from the Albion ground by
tne richmond. Letters and kilograms to
the absent Superintendent brought but
one reply-he would return to Eureka
when the necessary steps were taken for
the consolidation Of the Albion and Uncle
sam. He finally did return, to the dismay
OF several people and the delight Of his
friends. The first day Of his arrival he
was met by a committee Of Albion stock
holders, who stated that the latter was de-
slrous OF knowing what was to be done
with the mine. He stated in reply that he
was not disposed to make the business Of
the Company he represented public prop
erty, but II the stockholders would appoint
a committee Of three in whom they had con-
ndence, and whose opinion they would accept
without asking the reasons which governed
them, he would disclose, confidentially,
70 such COMMITTEE all matters appertaining
to the company's affairs. This offer was
accepted with ~alacrity by the stockholders,
and the Committee was appointed. This
Committee conferred with Mr.. Robinson,
overhauled the books Of the company, and
reported to the stockholders that every
dollar OF the company's funds had been
satisfactorily accounted for, and that no
man could have accomplished more in the
stockholders interests, and expressed the
utmost confidence in his administration of
the eompany's affairs. The result was that
the Superintendent secured the united sup-
port OF the stockholders, and on Saturday

namely the consolidation of the latter with
the Uncle Sam. He departed for San
Francisco on Sunday morning, to perfect
the union OF the two companies, and will
return about the 9Th Of January, when
work will be resumed.
The affairs Of the Silver Peak Company
also turn out to be perfectly correct, and
the examination Of its books disclosed the
fact that Mr.. Robinson had expended more
money in its development than any other
member Of the company.
Mr.. Robinson has caused about 500, 900
to be expended in this district, and has al
ways expressed an abiding faith in its sue
cess and permanency. The attempt made
to belittle him in the estimation Of the
community was hardly the kind Of treat
ment he deserved, and all right-thinking
people will join us in c~ongratulatiDg him
upon having SO successfully conf ounded
his traducers.
