HAMMOND WILL TAKE CHARGE
OF STRATTON'S INDEPENDENCE

when he found that the mine was not
equal to his expectations.
II want to deny emphatically that
the drop in the shares of Stratton's
Independence is due In any way to
n STOCK JUrpfrr scheme. The'-report
that has been brought about by the
Wernher, Belt & Co. people Is utterly
false. The Wernher company is too
big to go into any such scheme. l.
owns mines in South Africa which pro
duce more gold than all the Colorado
mines, and is not Il concern which for
the sake of gaining n million or two
dollars would cheat large number OF
people of their property. When Wern-
her, Belt ~ Co. engage in American
mining enterprises it will be in another
way than by stock jobblng. The whole
truth of the drop in the price of the
stock is that the mine has proved TO
be unable to keep up the pace set for
1t.
"I'he future of Colorado mining en-
terprises in England is in great meas
ure dependent upon the outcome or the
sale of Stratton's Independence. 1t Is
the one big Cripple Creek venture that
mas been made in London and should 1t
fail 1t will be long time before Others
can be placed there with any success.
MY wish is to take the property and
make 1t n paying investment for the
English stockholders. They have put
in their money in good faith and are en-
titled to every opportunity. The pres
ent high rate of dividends cannot be
continued. The mine must be continued
on business principle with develop
ments in advance of production. am
not prepared to say that this can he
done, but nm examination of the mine
will prove whether it can.
II should like to see 1t made to pay
the English investors Il good return on
their money. If this is done, there
will be further investments made here,
and we certainly need English capital
to develop the mines of the state.
have a personal interest in the success
of this mine for the reason that II
means so much to future ventures. We
need the English capital and are seek
ing it more than 1t seeks us. IL we get
1t firmly established here. Colorado will
be the field of investment rather than
Africa or elsewhere, and my interests
are In the development Of Colorado"
Mr.. Hammond spoke in high praise of
the work of Manager Shipman OF the
mine, saying that he would probably
he retained in his present position, only
that he may be subordinate to the con
sulting engineer.
