have been openly accused by Mr.. Condict
OF dsfrauding this company and embezzling
money, and If am rightly informed. he has
not stopped short Of calling me q thief. Mr..
Condict is strongly entrenched behind q wall
of Christianity, and having his sdmiring
friends here 20 assis.. in circulating these re-
ports, consequently have to appeal to the
press. As the motto OF true journalism is
Fiat Justitia rudt CGiuB,," 1 hope to show the
public that these charges against me are not
all true. In April 1881 sold what is now the
Como Eureka ground for the sum of IS. 900

OF stock from the Como Eureka Mining Co.
for my own use and benefit. But to return
to the affairs of the Co. After the purchase
was made 1t was fourteen months before suf-
ficient capital was raised to buy the amount
of bacon and beans to start work on the mine.
In June lss2,t Co. sent me provisions to
start work. with the understanding that II
did not find ore they would not be held re-
sponsible for any pay. After three months Q
shaft was sunk IFS feet. the ledge crokscut,
and the ore exposed was thought sufficient to
Justify the Co. in paying for the labor and
starting work in earnest on the mine All
parties except myself were paid and q new
three compartment shaft started, and the nee
essary machinery for the purpose of sinking
/ ,00o feet was purchased. In October 1882
the work of removing the Europes hoisting
