BIG ROW OVER THE TONOPAH Mine
Dissatisfied Stockholders Will Attempt to Dust
President Brock---DWdend Shaved 10
per cent. and Value Falls

First, that the Tonopah Mining
Company is earning more money than
it ever did before.
Second, that the mine is more val
liable than it ever was before.
Third, that it ought to pay its share
holders a larger dividend than ever
paid before.
THE officials of the company them
selves endorse the first proposition.
Every mining man, including ourselves,
who has investigated Tonopah regu-
larly for the past five years, knows
that the second is true. Now, if the
mine is worth more, and if it earns
more, what possible excuse is there
for cutting the dividend2
President Brock Scored.
I'VE will designate the only visible
reason which is-John W. Brock, pres
ident Of the Tonopah Mining Company.
What object Mr. Brock hopes to OBJ
tain by his action in reducing Tono-
pah's dividend, we will not discuss at
this time.
LAS Mr.. Brock obtrudes his person
ality between the 1000 shareholders
who own Tonopah and the profits
which Tonopah earns, we are con-
vinced that there is only one rational
thing to do, namely-remove Mr.. Brock
The highest interests Of the mine de-
mand that there be put in the presi
dents Office a man more conversant
and intimate with exact mining af-
fairs, and one whose education is al
ready completed, and on whom we will
not have to spend vast sums of money
to educate. This man must stand fol
TOnopah alone He must not attempt tC
make this greatest of modern mines g
ldray horse for other enterprises.
Will Attempt to Gust Him.
with the sole object of making this
change in the best interests of the
company. we propose to inaugurate ;
campaign for the removal of John w
Brock as president OF Tonopah. W.
have no personal motives to serve. Th'
interests Of the smallest as well al
the largest stockholders are ours, anC
we have none beyond them
I'VE have the assurance Of the sup
port in this movement of some of tn
very largest as well as the most in
? fuential owners of Tonopah stock
That their interests must win, we hav
. no doubt, and that Tonopah will b.
wrested from inefficient management
and restored to its legitimate plac
: among the worlds great mines, ther
can be no question.

SO dissatisfied have a powerful group
Of stockholders become with the man
agement of the Tonopah Gold Mining
Company that a strong movement has
begun with the object in view of GUST
ing the present management. This is
the original Tonopah Company which
was chartered IN Deiaawre and in
which thousands Of dollars of Della
ware money is invested. The mines
are in Nevada There are many prom
inent Wilmingtonians who are stock
holders and persons in the lower coun-
ties also hold much stock
For some time past the stockholders
have received a dollar share in divi-
dends and the stock has sold as high
as $25 a share, the par value being 81
a share. Tonopah has proved a regu-
lar good mine in fact" on of the kind
that is usually read of in fiction, but
not often seen in reality.
Cut Down Dividend.
When the last dividend was declared
IL was shaved down ten per cent. and
the stock lately has dropped in value
being quoted yesterday at $3.50 the
share
1t is this lowering Of the dividend
and the fall in the value Of the stock
that has stirred the stockholders sc
that a well organized movement has
developed to oust President Brock from
his Office as the opposition claims h,
is responsible for the lowering of tn,
dividends. The recent statements o
Tonopah shows enormous earn.
ings and large surplus and tn
stockholders want to know what tn,
matter is.

Potatoes Look Well.

There is a great profuslon of bloom
on some Of the potato patches in this
vicinity and farmers say the tubers
are developing rapidly They are not
very large as yet, but the crop is now
practically assured. The recent rains
have caused a good growth of tops,
and the potatoes will row develop as
satisfactorily as could be desired, it
additional rains do not cause rot. The
rot is the bane of the potatoes, and
many a good crop has melted away

any other funds for such work. In
making the appropriation for the Ma
kiki Reservoir the Legislature chose TO
make It for the completion OF that
work. II seems to me. therefore. that
a use of any other sums would be an
attempt by the executive branch to
legislate.
THE rule above seems to me con-
elusive on this question. but II IL were
not. then the reason which has been
given In the case of the inspection OF
the Nuuanu Dam would apply as well
to the case of the Makiki Reservoir
The work on the Makiki Reservoir Is
equally new piece of construction
work and the reservoir is not as yet
a part of the Honolulu water system
The cost of its construction can not
properly, as II seems TO me, be con-
sidered as running expense of the
water bureau, nor Is 1t maintenance of
she existing system. The appropria-
tion for those purposes should not,
therefore, be drawn upon for the pay
ment OF the bills in question"
This opinion has most effectually
put spoke In the Superintendent
wheel and brought to sudden stop
most of the work on the two projects.
The bills that have already been in
Cured have been taken care of by con-
tractor Whitehouse advancing the
money to pay them. but the work can
not go on. Little can be done now
until there Is new bond issue, and
that will probably not be for some
time. Even IL the issue were ordered
now by the Governor. II would take
considerable time to send to New York
End have the bonds engraved and sent

OF selling them. II they are disposed
Of at prevate sale this might not take
SO long, but II II Is necessary to sell
them at auction. and advertise them,
or II they have to be sent East to be
sold, there is no telling how many
months my elapse before there Is any
more money on hand to complete the
two dams.
With the smashing OF the pump yes
terday. work at the Nuuanu dam has
practically come to n standstill Only
few men. seven or eight. are EN-
ployed In sluicing. All the others
have been laid OFF indefinitely.
The Department OF Public Works re-
fuses to assume any responsibility for
, the breaking of the pump, laying the
Iaccident to flaw In the cylinder. SUI
'perintendent Holloway says there was
probably small, invisible crack
around the cylinder. which has
1 widened until It let's the water
through. Such accidents often occur
he says, where the cylinder and the
water jacket are nodded together.
A man has been sent IN to the dam
today to make an inspection OF the
broken pump, and II he finds that Its
going out of business was due to flaw
the department will put in a claim to
the manufacturers.

POLICE after
BRASS AND
COPPER THIEVES

The police are at present working
on the ma tier of extensive thefts OF
copper and brass which have been
going along on the waterfront for
some time past. While a great deal
of this kind of stuff is quite easily
accessible, the thieves have also in
several instances broken into build
.ngs where machinery and fittings
were kept, and have taken therefroR
such articles as they found which
could be readily disposed Of. BY do
ing so they often disabled valuable
machinery for the purpose OF secur-
ing articles for which they could re-
ceive only n few cents. The police
believe that street arabs as well as
adults are responsible for tn ese dep
relations.
Today the officers and several con-
tractors who are well acquainted
with such materials, went through
several of the junk dealers store
houses for the purpose of locating
stolen stuff, and considerable copper
and brass was found. The police
have found stun which was stolen
from the store house of the light
house service and also fittings which
belonged to the diving suit Of local
diver, whose shed had been burglar
lied short time ago. II is believed
that the thieves disposed OF most OF
their booty through Korean fence,
who in his turn, sold 1t to the junk
dealers.
