The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-06-27

responsible business men are select
ed they can be qualified, we pre-
sumo, by the purchase Of 1000
shares OF stock at cost OF S45 or
500 to be recommended to the
nonresident shareholders as can
didates for the directorate whom
they could vote for by proxy.
The Miner maintains that it is
the duty as well as the interest OF
the business men Of Wallace to see
that the non resident shareholders
of the Reindeer are not further
imposed on. Many Of them doubt
less hold stock that cost them Is
cents and more share. We have
reason to believe that the Reindeer
is a promising property and that
there are 100000 shares still in
the company's treasury. The stu
alton is therefore far from hopeless
and with such a man as James +.
Mccarthy ut the head Of affairs we
would consider it distinctly bright.
Were the shareholders to appoint
him manager and elect a conserva-
tive and responsible board Of direc-
tors, we feel confident the company
would soon be able to market its
treasury shares at 20 cents or more
and dispense with assessments.
Confidence is what is needed.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-06-27

Since the above was put into type
the Miner learns that DR.. Keys and
his co-directors whom we censured'
for the manner Of their resignation
did not appoint the individuals
now in control OF the Reindeer
directorate to succeed them. They
allege that they chose as their sue
cessors the parties who bought out
their holdings. This action on
their part was the usual one in.
such cases, apart from its secrecy,
and they are therefore only slightly
to blame for the present situation.
The parties who arranged the
second shuttle Of the directorate
are, however, clearly censurable.
Their hiding Of their identity be-
hind dummies naturally gives rise
to the suspicion that all is not fair
and above board and the subsequent
actions Of their dummy directors
only tend to confirm such suspicion.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-06-27
THE REINDEER SHUTTLE


The Miner does not at all like
/. the looks Of the last shuttle in the
Reindeer management. 1t strongly
censures the three directors who
sold out their stock and deserted
their posts, especially for the way
in which they did it. The least
they could have done under the
circumstances was to call a special
meeting Of the shareholders, lay a
full statement OF their stewardship
before them and then resign.
Under these circumstances there
would now have been board OF
directors who represented majority
Of the stock if not a majority OF the
shareholders.
However, that is past and done
with and it is the present condi-
tions we have to face. The direc-
torate is now controlled by three
dummies-two Of them clerks Of
the Bracking- Ebbley company, the
same concern which was recently
censured by the Wallace Stock
brokers Association for making
wash sales Of Reindeer stock with a
view to breaking down its market
price. The connection is sinister
and suspicious to say the least and
is certainly not calculated to pro-
mote the confidence either OF the
shareholders or the investing pub
lie.
This board Of dummy directors
does not pretend to represent a
control Of the stock. Secretary
Wilcox says no one owns the con-
troll as the stock is widely scattered
in I 600 share blocks and mo one
owns more than 10000 shares"
Yet under these circumstances they
have seen fit, even before they have
had time to check up the cash
or stock books, to levy an assess
ment Of a cent share which will
produce about 80, 600 for them to
expend. It should not be per-
mitted for moment. Who are
they to decide for the stockholders
that 4,0OO-foot tunnel or any
other tunnel should be rum II
assessments Of a cent a share are to
be levied a representative manage
ment might decide that it was more
in the interest Of the stockholders
to forthwith equip the mine with
machinery and explore the ore
shoot quickly by continuing the
present shaft or starting a new one,
instead Of doing thousands Of feet
Of work that would give them no
information about the value Of
their property.
We do not assail the good faith
Of tho present directorate, even If il
IL dummy one. They are doubt
less taking the action they think
best in the interest Of those who
appointed them and they may
believe that in so doing they are
LONG the best for the shareholders
90. Our position is that they have
70 moral right, and probably no
sal one, to decide such momen-
Dus questions.
The remedy we suggest is this:

actions Of their dummy directors
only tend to confirm such suspicion.
Any man not in sympathetic
touch with the present manage
ment Of the Reindeer who monkeys
with that stock just now is fool.
II he is stakeholder let him join
with his fellows to protect his
interests, sit tight and wait for the
final outcome. The past manage
ment Of the company has done him
all the harm it can, 1t has put the
price of his stock 80 low that
assessments are probably necessary
to carry on the work. If he is not
a shareholder let him thank his
stars for it and keep out Of the
market until the situation is cleared
up and responsible and represen-
tative management assured.
The more small, non resident
shareholders there are in the Rein
decr.and Secretary Wilcox says they
are very numerous, the more it
becomes the duty as well as the
interest Of Wallace's leading bust
ness men to see that their invest
ments are protected. Most of them
are probably poor and the loss Of
even part Of the savings they had
invested in Reindeer stock might be
a very serious matter to them.
The Occur d'Alenes is looking for
advertising but not the kind that
several hundred deluded and de-
frauded investors would give it.
POllcy holders OF the New York
Life and Mutual Life Insurance
companies. never needed protection
from their directorates half as badly
as do the resident shareholders
Of the Reindeer company. Will
the people Of Wallace sit still and
see them wronged? II they do they
are not deserving Of the confidence
Or financial aid Of the outside
public. -.

Anti incubation.

Gen. Lord Kitchener is said to he
favorably impressed with the value of
anti-typhoid incubation in. the British
army. The evidence as to it's effective
ness in checking enteric fever, as pre-
sented in the Journal of the Royal
Army Medical Corps is, indeed, very
strong. The method of incubation,
which was advocated in 1897 by Sir
A. E. Wright, was first tested on a
large scale in India and Egypt, with
encouraging results. It was also
shown that during an epidemic at
Maidstone not one of the "a nurses
and attendants who had been inocu-
lated was attacked, whereas there
were 16 cases of typhoid among 12O
nurses who had not been inoculated.
The experiments are being continued
in India, to which country $4,000
doses of the inoculating material
have, up to date, been sent. 1t has
been found that a second incubation
increases the degree of immunity.
Lieut.. Luxmoore reports that during
the Meerut epidemic in the Seven
teenth Lancers, 81 of the GO cases &C.
CURED in soldiers who had not been
inoculated, the other two being men
who refused to submit to a second
operation. The Lancet holds that in
%oculation for typhoid fever must here
after be held as necessary for the pro.
lection of soldiers as vaccination is
against smallpox. The observations
made during the Meerut epidemic also
emphasize the fact that sanitarians
have fixed their attention too much on
water as a source of infection. More
recently, the fatal activity of flies has
received some notice; but there is a
third way in which the germs are
scattered broadcast-by means of
dust-which has heretofore been in.
sufficiently studied.

New Jersey lives up to it's reputa,
ton for producing original citizens.
The latest case in point is that of
Peter Mowry, an engineer on the Del
aware, Lackawanna & Western rail
road. One day when his train reached
Millburn he discovered that he did not.
have water enough to carry him to
the next water tank. He hesitated
only a moment, then jumped out of
his cab and disappeared. Before he
climbed back to his seat the fire en-.
gines came tearing down the street
toward the station. In reply to the
foreman, who asked where the fire
was, Mowry explained his needs, and
said he had pulled the alarm because
he thought maybe the fire company
could run a hose to a hydrant and fill
his tank. He did not judge his fellow
Jerseymen wrongly, for the hose was
unwound and he soon had all the wa
ter he needed.

Secret Of Good Garden Making.

0eCTeC OF 1OOQ 1droen waking
In order to have good gardens we
must really care for the plants in
them, and know them individually as
well as collectively. This is an impor-
tant part of the technique of the gar
denmaker; he must know intimately
the form and texture as well as the
color Of all the plants he uses; for
plants are to the gardener what his
palette is to a painter. The two arts
of painting and garden design are
closely related, says Scribner's, except
that the landscape gardener paints
with actual color, line, and perspective
to make a composition, as the maker
of stained glass does, while the paint
er has but a fiat surface on which to
create his Illusion; he has, however,
the incalculable advantage that no
sane person would think Of going be.
hind a picture to see if it were equally
interesting from that point of view.
