TRUST GETS
GUGGENHEIM PLANT

New York, April 9.--Attorney Sam
uel Untermeyer Inst night gave out a
statement. in which he says protract-
ed meeting was held at his office and
continued mt Delmonico's, which had
reference to the litigation between the
American Smelling Company and the
Standard Oil interests, represented by
II. III. Rogers and Leonard Lewissohn,
over the merging of the NJ. Guggen-
helms Sons plant.
Mr.. Untermeyer's statement goes on
10 say:
1.-The differences were finally settled,
and the interests Of the Standard Oil
Company are now closely allied with
those of the American Smelling Com
pany, while the United Metal Selling
CoDpany becomes the selling agent OF
the consolidated company.
THE certificate increasing the capt.
tai stock Of the company to 100000,
GOO was filed with the secretary OF
state ut Trenton last night.
In order to avoid any further COM
plications, the new stock,was immedi
ateiy issued and delivered to the Gug-
genheims. andl they have conveyed
their properties to the company, 20
that the amalgamation is now COM
piete. There were $4,000 in revenue
stamps required for the stock certifi-
Gates, and almost half that amount to
stamp the deeds"

SHELTER COMPANY
INJUNCTION HOLDS

New York, April 9.-Justice Dixon,
at Trenton, New Jersey. yesterday
filed an opinion of the Court of Errors
and Appeals in the case brought by mi
nority stockholders of the American
Smei5ing and Refining Company to en-
join the purchase of the property of
NJ Guggenheim's Sons. Tiis opinion
has been awaited with great interest
by corporation lawyers. as 1t is consid-
cred most important as affecting cor
porations In New Jersey
The Importance of the opinion lies in
The construction placed by the court
On the forty-sixth and forty-ninth sec
lions Of the general corporation act.
'ice Chancellor Stevens held the court
could not go beyond the decision of the
board of directors us to the value Of
The property TO be purchased by the is
suing Of the stock.
The Court of Errors, on the contrary,
holds that It must be clearly shown
that the value Of such property IL at
least reasonably near the price TO be
paid, and that the action Of the direc.
tors is subject to review Mt the ill.,
stance Of any stockholder who consid-
ers himself aggrieved
The proofs, Judge Dixon says, point
strongly to the conclusion that In the
negotiations between the parties, the
real value Of the property to be ac-
quired had not been the basis upon
which they have determined the
amount Of stock to be issued therefor.
The fact that the expected consum-
nation Of the deal caused the market
value of the stock TO rise. and which
was used as an argument that the pro-
posed purchase would not be advant-
ageOus to the stockholders. Justice
Dixon finds to be without weight. He
says that II the intrinsic value of the
stock was only sixty per cent, Of It's
face, and an outsider offered eighty
per cent. In money for additional stock
TO. be issued, such an offer would
clearly be advantageous to the COM
pany and Its stockholders, but 1t could
not be legally accepted. because the
Legislature had required that 100 per
cent, whether in cash or property.
shall be received for corporation
stock.
The court finds that the mere fact
that two-thirds of the directors and
stockholders voted for the purchase
cannot prevent it's review, pointing out
that this would not justify an issue of
stock for an illegitimate enterprise.
In accordance with these views, the
court orders that the stay be contin-
ned, enjoining the purchase, and that
proceedings to increase the stock
should likewise remain in statu quo
pending further argument and q de-
cislon by the Court Of Chancery as to
the real value Of the Guggenheim
Ssoperty.

Archule,. County OH Boom.

The Denver News correspondent Mt
Pagosa Springs writes as follows: The
oil excitement has reached Archuleta
county and n test well will be put
down near Chrome in the southeastern
portion of the county, as soon as ma
chinery can be got on the ground. A
company of Denver capitalists are be-
hind the scheme, and o. l.. Merrill is
in charge here. Mr.. Merrill has been
working on the proposition the past
year, securing options on land, etc,
and last week the company had about
$4,000 worth of land recorded on the
Little Navajo river. On the Big Nava-
10 there are also many indications of
oil, there being large spring coming
out Of Il sandstone vein in sufficient
quantities that the farmers get 1t for
ohing their machinery. Five gallons
have been saved from this spring in a
single day. There are various other
places that the oil 0ozes ont also. Eight
miles above the springs is natural
gas hole that will burn on touching a
match to 1t. Mr.. Robinson of Florence,
who was here last fall looking over the
oil lands, said there was sufficient gas
coming from 1t to run three stoves.
