BUNKER HILL
MINE SOLD
At AUCTION
Amador Syndicate the
Highest Bidder.
THE PROPERTY FANG
HOW A PHILADELPHIA BANK
BECAME INTERESTED.
Comptroller of the Currency Refused
to Confirm the First Sale of the
Property-A Very Low
Figure.

The Bunker Hill and Mayflower gold
mines in Amador County were sold at
auction yesterday morning in front of the
Appraisers building by order of the ref
cree. The bidding started at $40 900 and
the property was knocked down for $50
800 to c. r. Downs, representing min
ing syndicate of Suffer Creek Amador
County.
There is an interesting story connected
with the sale of this mining property
The Bunker Hill is a famous mine. with
record of producing 81 900 600 1t was
discovered in 1850 In the process of min
ing developments all over this State one
set of managers having control OF the
Bunker Hill, fancied that it would be a
good plan to permit Philadelphia CAPT.
talists TO join in the work of bringing
the treasure of the earth to the surface
The suggestion was favorably received in
the Quaker City and money to the amount
of 100000 was advanced by the Spring
Garden National Bank of Philadelphia
The Bunker Hill and Mayfower mines
were taken by the bank to secure the
money loaned.
Some years ago the Spring Garden Bank
suspended payment and the Comptroller
of the Currency took charge Of the inStitu-
ton. A receiver was appointed and mea-
SureS We're taken TO convert the assets
OF the bank into cash to pay the deposit
tors.
The receiver held undisputed possession
OF the mining property for six years A
short time ago the property was sold for
$50 600, but one of the depostors. Mr.
Cheney. objected TO the confirmation of
the sale on the ground that the mine was
worth more than that sum of money. and
the Comptroller refused to confirm the
transaction.
The second sale was advertised in New
York, Boston, Chicago. St Louis. Den
Yer and San Francisco. William A. Lam
son of the Treasury Department was as
signed TO the duty of conducting the pro-
ceedings. To remove all doubts as to
title the Treasury Department wired Mr.
LamSon as follows:
WASHINGTON. D. c.. June s. 1899
William \. Lamson. San Francisco: The sa le
Of the Bunker Hill and Mayfower mines an
asset Of the Spring Garden National was not
confirmed by the court because creditors OF
said bank urged the objection that the price
was inadequate. The title in the receiver and
which he Will convey by quitclaim deed has
never been attacked even questioned either
directly or collaterally. 1t is believed the re-
ceiver has a perfectly valid title in every par
ttcular which he will convey under order of
court to the purchaser

The sale, according to advertisement
took place yesterday F. S. Pilsburv
