Warner, the patent medicine manufacturer, was president of the company, and practically he was the corporation, for meetings were rare lv held. and he looked after the interests 0f the stockholders. When beset iN ais business troubles, he neglected to pay tho interest due on the mortgage duu the motISdSteS promptly foreclosed and regained possession of the mine. Proceed ings in bankruptcy were entered by the stockholders in the New Jersey Court of ChanceTy, and John Griffin, of Jersey City, was appointed re- ceiver He found the mine was rich with gold and called a meeting of the stockholders, which was held yesterday afternoon in the chancery chambers, Jersey City. Ex Senator Warner Miller and Clinton B. Wiser were among the stockholders who attended. It was decided to levy an assessment for legal expenses in the Arizona courts to recover possession of the mine. The unanimous opin- ion was that the court would set aside the foreclosure and re-instate the company.
