Iowa Falls, Dec lit is reported
| another Lillooet conference was held
| here Sunday, but the meeting was ION
the quiet" and SO far nothing has been
| made public regarding the conference.
| 1t is stated that several well known at
| torneys Of the state were present at
this meeting, and that "therell be
something doing ere many moons wax
and wane. The sudden summoninp of
City Attorney John Lamprecht who
was on his way to Kanawha for an
over Sunday visit and his hurried
preparations for trip to the Pacific
| coast Is said by some to be the out
come of the conference and that Mr..
Lamprecht goes as an envoy to the
scene of the Lillooet claim in British
Columbia. 1t is given out that he is
on his way to San Francisco to adjust
some insurance matters and that he
will be gone for four weeks. There is
persistent report that the grand jury
took another whack at Lillooet affairs
at one of Its recent sessions and that
an indictment was returned. Who was
hit, is of course a profound secret and
shared only by the elect in the inner
circle who look knowingly and remark
that i'time will tell" The report that
gained currency to the effect that Sec
rotary Schlecker was charged with
mismanagement of the dredge affairs,
is entirely erroneous as it is stated by
those in position to know that Mr..
Schlecker has made strict accounting
of all the funds that came into his
hands. The coterie of loyal stock
holders who have stood by Lillooet to
the last ditch are certainly good los
ers and have shown their faith, in
many cases to their last dollar. hoping
that eventually pay dirt would be
struck and the tide in their fortunes
would turn. After most of the inves-
tors had thrown up their hands and
kissed the Jackpot good bye, those
loyal to the enterprise dug up $4,000
in hopes of putting the dredge in shape
to make the claim paying investment.
Whether this last tribute will come
back can only be determined by the
outcome of the present manipulation
of the company's affairs in Vancouver.
Those who backed their faith with
good hard buckets, certainly deserve
to reap the benefit, il any accrues, and
SO the outcome OF the present legal
moves will be watched with interest
not only by those who have sent good
money after bad in hopes Of retriev-
ing lost dollars. but by the smaller
stocSh olders and the public at large.

The legislature will this winter
