Tho San Francisco Post Of Monday
gives the following with reference to the
defeat Of the Lazure. Hoefish and Levy
crowd in their effort to wrest the control
Of the Gould L Curry from the Bonanza
crowd:
The apathy which usually ushsrs In Q
new week Ut the San Francisco Stock and
Exchange Board. was broken this morn
ing when Chairman Colt, after q loud
ring OF his gesg. enjoinsd silence upon
the members and announced that an i'm
portant communication would be read.
The document proved to be the follow.
ing letter:
SAN Francisco. December 10, 1884,
To the President and Members Of the
San Francisco Stock and Exchange
Board-Gsntlsmsn: / wish 10 inform
yeu that, owing to the detection Of q
prominent arm, the member OF which
connected vithlthis Board has been un-
willing or unable to fulfill his promise
regarding the firms proxy for the Gould
X Curry election. the party with which
! have been connected has Withdrawn
from the contest, and will not be repie-
scented at the meeting today.
wish also to thank those who have
handed In their proxies. and TO inform
them that the same will be returned
during the morning. Respectfully yours,
L. 7. LAzuRE.
L. T. Lszurs. % 10 well known. 10 one
Of the syndicate Of brokers and opsr.
ators who wrssted the control Of the
Savage mine from the very unpopular
General Thomas Il. Williams faction.
and who have since striven to obtain the
control Of the Gould & Curry mine.
That mine, however. Is under the con-
troll Of the bonanza firm and Alvinza
Hayward, and IL was natural to suppose
that these parties would make Q stronger
and q more successful fight. That they
have succeeded In retaining the control
OF the Gould & Curry mine IL shown
In the above letter and in q report
OF the annual meeting. which will DO
found elsewhere. In an interview with
the Pos. representative. Mr.. Lszure sub.
s~squsntly stated that the broker referred
to in his Communication 10 the Board was
Jacob Greenebaum, OF the well-known
house Of Greeusbaum, Helbing & Co.
The firms proxy was about 1000 shares.
and Lszure claims that II wal promised
to his party, and together with other
proxies would have enabled them to rep.
resent at the meeting $4,000 shares Of
stock out OF 108, 900 shares in the
mine. This representation. together
with q judicious manipulation OF the
stock alost Mr.. Lazuro thinks would
have carried the election for his party.
Mr.. Gresnebaum, who was seen by the
Post representative, denies. however.
that he promised his firms proxy to the
party with whom Mr.. Lazure was con-
nectsd. and tho existing Board Of Direc-
tors OF the Gould & Curry Mining Com.
pany say that 1t was given to them long
ago, which assertion Mr.. G%reenebaum
does not deny. The latter parties look
upon Mr.. Lazurs's letter a. only q sub
terfuge to let his defeat down rs
gently a. possible. Tho letter.
together with tho abandonment Of
the contest. which promised at ono
time to DO close and interesting. has had
q bad effect on Gould & Curry stock.
which dropped to 81 10. Curbstone
brokers who had corrallsd . large mum.
Der Of the floating shares to sell to the
highest bidder, in case the election
should be close. have had their labor for
nothing. and are indignant Of having
been despoilsd Of some Christmas spend
ing money. This was the principal
event on Pine street this morning.
