SILVER KING
Is NOT TIED UP
Chief Officials Of Company Talk
on Mines Sale.
BINGHAM CON. SHELTER
FASTENERS 10 OPERATE FIRE
CLAY DEPOSITS NEAR CITY.

President David Keith and Senator
Thomas Kearns. general manager Of
the Silver King company, were asked
yesterday 20 explain the status OF the
reported pending deal for the sale OF
bis Park City bonanza to the Federal
Lead company. The positive assurance
was given by both Of them that ne sale
had been made, that no option had
been given TO amy one AT any time,
% that neither of them knew that
the mine would ever pass into new
hands.
III has been reported a great many
times during the past ten years, said
senator kearus, that the sale Of the
Silver King was pending. but i'm not a
single instance has an option been
given on a. price named. The property
has never been I'm the market. and no
effort has ever been made to sell &C.. OF
course. that does not mean that it may
never De sold. I admit that the prop-
erty has been under examination for
the past six weeks by the representa-
tive of O. well known mining engineer.
What may come OF it i don't know.
Should III result i'm the Federal Lead
company or someone else undertake
the purchase of the mine, and a price
could be agreed upon, it would un-
doubtedly be sold.
Myull ike 20 say however Elar
the control of the Silver King is pooled,
just as it always has been. and when
] sell au of the pooled stock viii go in
the deal and under the same terms.
Every minority shareholder viii also
be protected to the extent that the
purchaser viii be required to take his
stock at precisely the same price and
under the same terms that ne secures
the control If presented within a rea-
sonable and stated length of time"
President Keith c0ucurred i'm an that
Senator Kearns said. and declared that
a perfect understanding existed i'm the
ranks of the chief shareholders of the
company. The mine. he said, would
continue to operate as I'M the past, and
III ever such a thing as a sale was
made, 10 would be found that the press
ent large owners would all go out to-
gether."
That the Federal Lead company is
after the prize seems certain, and
there IS little doubt that the present
examination is being made i'm behalf
of the Federal company. After the en-
gineers conducting the examination
have reported. fl is reasonable TO sup
pose that an OFFER Of some kind VIII
be made for the bonanza.
