OF said Sierra Nevada Mining Com
pany In ordering and instructins

AYERS that, according to his in
formation and belief, there exists
Oh the levels between the POO and
$500, a body of ore lying to the
| west Of the present workings: that
said body of ore is sufficient value
| to pay good profit; that no drift
Or cross-cut has been confcssedIy
run into this body Of ore, by which
outside stockholders could know
the value Or extent Of said ore body:
but secret drifts have been run and
said ore body drilled, by which in
formation has been gained by GER
tain insiders for their own selfish
purposes; that said west cross-cuts
should be continued into said ore
body Immediately.
Said protestant further AYERS
that according to his information |
and belief said instructions to the
Superintendent Of the Sierra Ne |
vada Mining Company were not /
the outgrowth of any independent
and voluntary action or decision of
the said President and Board of
Directors, but were dictated by said
inside parties, who dare arrosate to
themselves unlawful, illegal and
iespotic powers, which are insult
NJ to minor stockholders, dishonest
n their intent, and which usurp
md override the common law of
operations. Said protestant 6

ngs of the Sierra Nevada mine $

by working away from D
