II STAR NINE.
A Little contest GofHe On fOr tho
Control.

1OlttO1s
In the San Francisco Mining Ex-
change of the 10Th, we find the fol-
10 wihg, relative to u local mine,
which will interest many OF u read
ers:
A sharp contest is just now being
waged by General Thomas H. Will
liams and David Bixler, his partner,
on one side, aud Judge H~ydenfeldt,
d. A. Bender and A. Fleishhacker on
the other. The matter causing the
difference is the contest for control at
the annual election of the Star Mining
Company, TO be held on the 18th of
August. On the 9th day oflast month
Messrs. Williams and Bixler, having
sold their stock, resigned their posi-
tons as President and Vice President.
This was mainly caused by the repre-
sensations OF the other Trustees, who
looked upon the matter in this light:
'sOur mining property so far has cost
Us a fortune to open up and develop;
we are still going OH with preparatory
and exploring work AID are in debt;
IIC ouliOo vi Jill 1OolhCht ~ NV
President are merely nominal, and
yet, in the face of the above facts and
the further one that General Williams
and his partner are very wealthy men,
they have drawn from this poor com
pany salaries of $3.50 and $50 per
month, respectively"
A few days after the ~rssignation of
Gen. Williams as President, the Trus-
tees of The company ELECTED Judge s.
Hyienfeldt as President and A.
Fleishhacker as Vice-Pre >ldent, ana
these gentlemen refused to receive
either salaries or compensation tor
the slight duties required. The com-
pany is thus saved 500 per month ON
the first onset, and from our knowl-
edge of all the parties we believe that
other and larger savings will be ef-
fected. A heavy assessment is even
now IN course of collection, so that
the justice Of all the above acts can he
easily understood. Snperhnman ef
forts are nov being made by Williams
To ecure the control of tho proxies oil
the stock for the annual nleeting to
lake place next week. The poor
millionaire wants back that SI50 pei
month as pin money, perhaps.

ploy of Wells. Fargo 4 Co. for Phoebe. 1t
was thought that the men who robbed the
stage near S%prucemont some days ago were
making for Arizona. the happy land of the
cowboys. and tiat on their route they would
be likely to tackle the stage from Hamilton to
Phoebe" Tho capture was no doubt planned
and effected through Sheriff Rauro's dis
patches. which indicated the course the rob-
bers had taken.

A Field Day FOR ihe Democracy A
Contest, IN which b. r. Miller and
Wash WO3dBeTry xsetg Pfincipals-
Miller Carries Everything Before
Him.
AS had for some time been antici-
pated, a very lively aud exciting con-
test YVES made here last Tuesday at
the Democratic primaries for delegates
TO the County Convention. At the
meeting held the night previous to
select judges and inspectors and nom-
mate a ticket, it became evident
that the conflicting elements could
not harmonic. Twenty-Five dele
gates were placed in nomination, from
which two tickets were selected,
designated respectively as the Wood
berry, and aA1lller'' tickets. On the
V of the battle each party felt con
dent OF victory on tue morrow. But
as the sequel will show-and i'll the
the natural order of things could not
be otherwise-one party was doomed
to disappointment and defeat. The
hour Tor opening the polls was set for
10 O'Clock A. NJ, aud for closing SP. NJ.
Then the friends OF the respective
champions retired to perfect their
plans for the approaching conflict.
W~oodberry's forces were under the
leadship OF that astute political COM
mander, Pete Weber, with his skill
ful and aDle l~leutenants, jim Cohen
and Mike Shay, while Miller's scat
tered and disorganized adherents
were marshaled by the gallant and
impetuous chiefs, BOSS Weber and
'.Iamanyn Shine. The standing of
the %eontending forces-in a civil as
pect, of course-was not unlike that
OF me Perslans and Greeks on the
field OF Marathon, the defeat OF the
former OF whom Byron thus immor-
talizes III verse
Like the leaves Of tho forest when Summer
- green,
That host with its banners at sansst we're
sotn.
Like the leaves Of the forest when Autumn
has blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered aud
steHn."
Al an early hour Tuesday morning
the marshaling OF the clans COM
menced. A rush was made for the
NEWS Office for tickets, aud IL took
our quarter.medium Gordon several
hours 10 supply the demand. 1t was
not, however, Till afternoon that the
baths waxed warm. Free wagons
were running in every direction, and
the voters came IN 10y squads. The zeal
with which tie supporters of the re-
spective tickets labored reminded
every n of a real election day. While
there seemed To be considerable feel
ing between the supporters OF the re-
spective chiefs, there was no open rap-
ture OF brotherly ties. It's true, each
accused the other oil unfair means,
such as voting Republicans anu nom
citizens. An unbia >ed looker-on could
see no difference in this respect be-
tween the action of one party n the
other. The Judges-Messrs. Weber,
Kennedy AMI Phipps-had their
hands full 10 decide challenged ''sus-
pects," but they did their part impair
tally, and il any Ineligible voter got
his ballot in he must have had a very
elastic conscience and a total disre-
gard for truth.
The total vote polled was l65.
