THE SmtLTtk
A Bio Assessment Promises
More Trouble Than Profit

There seems to be some pretty !
warm times around the Gardnerville
Smelter, but maybe hot things are ex-
pected in this class of work. The
work is near completion and every
thing has been running smoothly until
thing more than hot air in the troub
les of the smelter and the people in
terested. For awhile the control of
the stock, which was issued at dol
lar share, seemed to be in doubt.
Two factions commenced buying con-
troll and it is said that the bulk of the
stock has now gone into the hands OF
the creamery people or their friends.
At all of the meetings the farmers
came bravely to the front and at the
present time they have put up 100000
cash, and certainly have one OF the
finest plants in this or any ot.c.' lts-to.
They lately called &c: Ike 4.ii,-l -.
the spot. At the same meeting It was
decided to engage the general super
intendent for the time being and in
stead of steady position as was eX-
pected, Mr.. Ulhorn was appointed 10
serve for one month, or until the smell
ter was in working order. This was
only the beginning OF the trouble. On
/ top OF the change of management the
new directors levied a thirty cent as
! sessment, which means many thou
sand dollars to a number OF the minor
! ity stockholders. That they are kick.
| ing, places it mildly. They are threat
! ening all kinds OF trouble and there
! is some talk of law suit to determine
! the rights Of the stockholders. It is
! claimed that the assessment was On
tirely unnecessary as the plant. site
and all connected with the smelter has
been paid for. The action has caused
considerable ruction among the stool
holders on the losing side and it is MOI
likely that they will pay the assess
ment without considerable protest

WALLA WALLA DISASTER.
Strange Story Told Under oath by one
OF the Lookouts

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. The Ex-
amiucr says on the authority OF Depu-
ty Coroner skinner, OF Humboldt coun-
", that +. johnson, one OF the look
outs on the wrecked steamer Wala
Walla told a strange story under oath
at Eureka regarding the cause of the
collision with the French bark Max.
According to the coroner who took
the depositions OF Captain Hall and
others OF the officers and crew OF the
Walla Walla after the accident, John
son testified that he saw the lights
OF the French bark many minutes be-
fore her prov sank into the Walla
Wala's hull; that twice he warned the
officers on the bridge OF the approach
ing danger, but that his warnings We're
not needed. As the vessels neared
each other, the red and green lights
of the bark became more and more
distinct according to Johnson's testi-
niony as reported by the coroner's
deputy.
At last the lookout, alarmed at the
failure Of the officer on the bridge to
change his course, started for the
cabin of the first officer, Peter Nielsen,
hut before he reached the cabin the
vessels struck and the Max drifted
away with her lights plainly visible.
These assertions are contradlcted by
the positive statements of the steam
er's officers who declare that a sharp
lookout was kept and that no warning
was given of the danger.
The reports of Captain Hall of the
Walla Walla and Captain Benoist of
the Max will be filed today with the
inspectors of hulls and boilers. A day
will then be set for the investigation
of the causes Of the disaster.
