THE ALBION SITUATION.
A Meeting of the Creditors at Il
Courthouse Yesterday.

A Meeting of the Creditors at the
Courthouse Yesterday.
The call in yesterday mornings sENT1-
MEL for a meeting Of the creditors Of the
Albion Mining Company brought together
almost every man to whom the company
was indebted and some outsiders, who
completely filed the District Courtroom,
the principal or heavy creditors occupying
seats in front, inside Of the railing. Mr..
Sadler called the meeting to order
promptly at 1 o'clock. He said its object
was to meet the officers OF the Albion
Company, and to come to some under
standing in regard to the company's prop
erty, and see if there was sufficient to
satisfy the claims of the creditors. He
moved that there be q Chairman and Sec.
rotary elected.
James H. Mundy was elected Chairman
and VIM. Pardy Secretary.
Mr.. Sadler again took the floor, and said
that there had already been liens and pre-
ferred claims filed against the company to
the amount Of $62, 594 81, and he thought
the claims had been duplicated to some
extent. No n ever thought the COM
pany's indebtedness was as large as that,
and everyone wanted to see just how the
company stood, and he hoped that L. L.
Robinson, the President of the company,
would come forward and explain matters.
Mr.. Robinson said that it WAS impossi-
BILE for him to tell what the company g in
d%ebtedness was at the present time, % the
books had been attached, and neither he
nor his bookkeepers had had an oppor-
tunity to examine into the affairs Of the
company. He thought the assets Of the
company were sufficient to satisfy the
creditors Of the company, including the
liens and preferred claims. He thought
the best way wal to appoint a committee to
investigate the matter, and find out what
were and what were not just claims.
On motion of w. o. Mills Jr. a COM
mittee was appointed to examine the
books and inquire into the affairs Of the
company. The Chair named the follow
ing: p. N. Hansen, r. Sadler, VIM. Doc
lin, W. o. Mills Jr., F. Fitzpatrick, F. W.
Clute, M. McNamara, j. Ahern and G. L.
Broy.
Mr.. Sadler moved that one or more gen.
tlemen from San Francisco present at the
meeting be added to the committee. Geo.
E. Eames was thereupon placed upon the
Mr.. Mills moved that the Chairman be
also added to the committee, as he was an
expert bookkeeper, and could materially |
assist the committee in its labors. The
motion prevailed.
1t was suggested that the committee re-
port as speedily as possible. A voice
called out, "This evening""
L.. l.. Robinsou-lt will be impossible to
report as early as that, because there is to
be an inventory taken Of the personal prop
erty.

The property has been attached by
the Sheriff, and he has a list.

company. The committee came to Eureka
at q late hour. and called upon Mr.. Rob
He asked the committee to meet
him to-day at 2 o'clock, stating that he
was too much fatigued at that time to talk
with them on business. A fear was ex-
by the committee that he would
