MINING SUIT.
tsalt Lake rribuue.)

lhdudSeI VI GHe Ou0Deam Mines
company, and other officers, with
buying worthless stock in the
North Sunbeam Gold Mining Co.
at 8 cents share and unloading
it upon the Golden Sunbeam
Mines company at 80 cents a
share, J. McF. Carpenter, a
stockholder in the latter incor-
poration, Wednesday brought
suit in the Third District court
against the Golden Sunbeam
| Mines company and Gable to
compel the return to the North
Sunbeam Gold company of all
the stock thus fraudulently pur-
chased, and to force Gable to re-
turn to the treasury of the Gold
en- Sunbeam Mines company all
the money he may have taken or
received from that company in
payment of North Sunbeam Gold
company stock.
Carpenter also asks that all
the other officers of the defend
ant company be required to make
an accounting of any sums of
money they may have received
from the treasury in payment of
stock in the North Sunbeam Gold
company, and that upon the &C
counting the defendant company
be compelled to return to these
officers any stock in the North
Sunbeam Gold company which it
has taken or purchased from
them and that the officers of the
defendant company, upon the re-
turn of the alleged worthless
stock, be compelled to deliver to
the Golden Sunbeam Mines Co.
any sums of money they may
have received, in intended pay
ment for such stock, to the de-
fendant corporations treasury.
A temporary restraining order,
prohibiting the defendant cor
poration or any officer acting
for it from purchasing further
stock ia the alleged virtually de-
funct company, is asked for.
Carpenter sets forth in the
complaint that the Golden Sun
beam Mines company is organ
lied under the laws cf the State
of Washington, and that he has
been a stockholder since 1904,
holding 1850 shares. Carpenter
apparently anticipates that other
stockholders will join him in the
suit, for he sets out that the ac-
tion is brought in his own be-
half and that of any other stock
holder who may desire to join
him as parties to the complaint.
| The defendant company is work
ing mines in Custer county, Ida
ho, it is recited.
Carpenter further sets out that
the purchase of North Sunbeam
Gold company stock by Gable
was pretendedly authorized at
an irregular meeting of the di-
rectors in room 311, Atlas block,
March 2, this year, at which
were present c. N. Strevell,
Gable, G. B. Huffman, F. w.
Rossberg and o. K. Lewis. This
meeting authorized Gable to buy
up all the stock he could secure
in the North Sunbeam Gold
company, not to exceed 100000
shares, at so cents a share, the
purchase price to be paid from
the funds accumulating in the
defendant company's treasury.
This meeting also authorized the
purchase of $4,000 shares of the
stock from Gable. The only re-
striction placed upon Gable, it
is alleged, was that he was not
to buy to exceed 100000 shares,
and must not exhaust the treas
ury of the Golden Sunbeam Min
es company.
The meeting was irregular,
Carpenter alleges, in that the
bylaws of the Golden Sunbeam
Mines company require that no
tice of the place, object and time
of the meeting must be given to
