REGARDING THE MAMMOTH.
Will T. E. Goodhart Attack the Legal
ity of the Late Election?

As mentioned in these columns yes
terday, F. E. GOodhart, of England
one of the largest individual share
holders in the Mammoth Mining COM
pany, is in the city
Herald readers are familiar with the
incidents attendant upon the last
stockholders meeting of the Mammoth
company, during which J. A. Cunning
ham is alleged to have voted for him
self, the Goodhart stock, for which a
proxy had been given Jointly to himself
and William Mcintyre. the result being
the election of Samuel Mcintyre to the
presidency of the company.
Quite a stir was created in mining
circles at the time over this action of
Mr. Cunningham, which was done
without the knowledge or consent of
William Mcintyre, and it was freely
predicted that upon Mr.. Goodhart'S re-
turn to Salt Lake, a vigorous kick
would be made because of Mr.. Cum
aingham's use of the Goodhart proxy,
and by many. it was claimed that Mr..
Goodhart would take action towards
the setting aside of the election on
the ground that it was illegal and
void.
When seen by a representative of
The Herald yesterday and questioned
rs to what he proposed doing in the
premises. Mr.. Goodhart was very Teti-
cent, urging. that he much preferred
to acQuaint himself with the actual
condition of affairs regarding the Nam
moth company before he ventured to
express an opinion or TO outline plan
of action, but when pressed by the re-
porter, he acknowledged that he had
sent his proxy to be used Jointly by Mr..
Cunningham and Mr. William McIn-
tyre, as he desired to remain neutral
With these gentlemen, while he was op-
posed 10 Sam Mcintyre, not for any
personal, but for business reasons, chief
among which was that Mr.. Mcintyre
had always been opposed TO the OPP
GRAFTON of the Mammoth mill, which,
N Mr.. Goodhart'S opinion, was the saw
ng clause in the working of the mine,
as there was not enough shipping ore
disclosed in the property to make it a
paying proposition without the utiliza-
ton of the vast bodies of low grade
mineral blocked out in the workings OF
this great wealth. producer.
Mr.. Goodhart also stated that there
were other reasons why he was op-
posed 10 Mr.. Sam Mcintyre as manager
of the mine, one of which was that he
was unalterably "forninst" the board
ing house system in vogue and employ
ed by the company, as it was an in
justice to every Stockholder in the COM
pany, as well as to the employees, and
while he knew Of no order by the COM
pany requiring the employees 10 BOARD
at the mine. still he understood that it
was the understanding that the men
must either board at the company
boarding house or quit.
To do Mr.. Gocdhart justice, however, /
it can be stated that he was adverse to |
being interviewed on the subject of the /
Mammoth, and that he preferred not to /
be quoted in the matter, as, TO use his 1
own language. 4 am seeking informa-
ton. and am in no position to talk or 1
even express an opinion until I confer |
with the members of the company"
The Herald, therefore, will not even
predicate what is likely to happen in /
the future as TO the outcome Of the /
differences between Mr.. Goodhart and |
the directors of the Mammoth COM |
pany.
