pany of this city. was charged to-day
with having swindled John T. Bradley
and other late shareholders Of the Cabo-
roa mine, Sonora, Mexico, out Of large
sum Of money. MacDermot was empow-
cred in 1881 to sell the entire stock of
10000 shares. He telegraphed from
New York, where he went to sell, that
he could get $3.50 per share. The share
holders instructed him to sell. Bradley |
now states that MacDermot received
$780, and only accounted at the rate OF |
$3.50. He says that he knows this to be |
true, as it had been prearranged between
MacDermot and himself that if the sale
of 100, 900 shares was made at $3.50 they
would account to the other shareholders
at 81. so and divide the 1920, 900 Of steal
ings among themselves. Bradley further
says MacDermot failed to adhere to the
agreement, and kept it all for himself.
MacDermot is East, and his exact where.
abouts are unknown. The shareholders
will bring suit to recover.

lode claims, where the survey conflicts
with prior claim and the ground in
conflict is excluded, the applicant not
only has no right to the excluded ground,
but he has no right to that portion Of any
vein or lode, the top or apex Of which
lies within such excluded ground, unless
his location was prior to May 10, 1872.
The order made to-day puts things back
just where they were before Mr.. Teller's
order was issned, as follows: In entries
made prior to the receipt by the Register
and Receiver Of the circular Of Deem
Der, 1884, the survey, if free from OBJ.
lection under the former practices, need
not be amended to conform to the pro-
visions of paragraph 2 of said circular.
All decisions under said circular in con-
hct with the foregoing may to that ex-
tent be recalled.
