of wrong doing. and place them I'M
der oath and ask them to make good,
public assertions which | believe to
be slanderous and libelous and which
would be aetionable, If they would
designate the names of the parties
they belive to be guilty of crime
and designate the criminal acts. or

You will bear in mind that the
depositing of money and receipt there
of in and by bank which fails to

its nature, as shown by the authori-
ties cited on the preliminary exam

You will further bear in mind that
the capital stock of a corporation is
not a debt which depositors need
pay. and that the moneys carried to
surplus is not debt which the de-
positors need pay. and that undivid-
ed profits is not debt which deposit
tors need pay. Therefore, from the
report of Major Miller and from his
testimony. you will deduct from the
liabilities of the bank the sum of
about S37S,000. being made up of
100000 capital stock, $103, 200 of
surplus and about $4,000 of UNI

creditors of the bank. These figures
show that the bank was Just about

But according to Major Miller's re-
port, and according TO his testimony,
ii would show the bank to be about
$277S insolvent on the day it closed
its doors and his testimony shows
that he roughly estimated the value
of its securities.
You have right to investigate all
the foregoing facts, and | most res
pectfully suggest that you do so be-
fore you take the solemn ection OF
branding any one with a crime who
may be innocent. and by this mean
every director of said bank as well
as Mr.. Hickey.
You can, by proper investigation
ascertain to mathematical certain

MACKENZIE IS
IN To THE FINISH
Says Reports Of COmprO-
mise at GOIdfieId are
Se--BrOkerS Game

A San Francisco dispatch says:
Within the past ten days, kilograms
have spread the report broadcast
throughout the country that the
strike in Goldfield was all but set
tied. that compromise would be eff
fected between the operators and the
Western Federation, and that the
mines would resume Monday with
treir former employees.
The report is untrue, although
there Is that grain of truth in all the
rubbish published, which furnishes
a pretext for the statement by those
who are over jealous for the accom-
plished fact The reported settle
ment grows out of the activity of a
certain clique of brokers who, des-
perate for a better stock market and
Increased commissions, undertook to
create split among the mine opera
tors, by working upon the leasers
and arraying them against the mine
owners, as represented by the Oper-
ators' association.
Mr.. Mackenzie, of the Goldfield
Consolidated in an interview at San
Francisco Is quoted as follows:
AS far as the present action of
the leasers is concerned. they may do
as they please, but the Goldfield Mine
Operators association will maintain
exactly the same position it took at
the beginning of the struggle. We
will not treat with nor recognize the
Western Federation of Miners in any
way. We will adhere to the wage
scale we recently adopted, and will
light 1t out on this line. Lockhart
Is the only big operator in camp who
is not standing squarely with the as
ISOLATION, and he has not left by any
means. We have won the fight. We
have got the Federation down and
out. This Is shown in the fact that
they are willing to waive the matter
of an open camp, and will compro-
mise on slight increase over our
reduced wage scale. The Consolidat-
ed has 400 men on its payroll All
the other mines have either got all
the men they want or can get them
There are 700 men all told at work
in the mines, and a very large num-
Der of them are Federation men.
More union men are coming to us
every day. Now that we have the
battle won. 1t would be folly TO turn
around and compromise As far as
we are concerned, we will go right
ahead, We have nothing TO compro-
mise.
