par. | am personally liable for sew
eral thousand dollars for supplies for
boarding house of mine, and an en-
dorser for the railway company on
not for $4,000.
81, therefore, wish to say that
have not personally profited by the
sale of Amador stock as charged by
+. the newspapers.
] Fourth. Expensive junketing
trips and organized excursion trains
have never been run by the Amador
company at the expense of the stock
holders. One party of eight in
charge of the company's president
visited the mine in 1908. A party
of 80 in charge of the treasurer Wis
tied the property in 1908, and a
party of 100 in charge of the presi-
dent and treasurer, visited the mine
in 1905. In addition to this large
number of stockholders visited the
property at various times as indivii-
uals but in every case the expenses
including excursions, was borne by
the individual and not be the com-
pany.
at is my opinion that 90 per cent.
of the stock of the company was sold
to individuals who either examined
the property personally or had it ex-
amined and reported upon by others,
while the remaining 10 per cent. was
purchased on the published mining
reports of engineers.
| Fifth. Vouchers for every dollar
drawn by me from the company is on
| file in the Chicago office and | assert
that not one single penny of the COM
pany's money has been misappropri-
ated by me
| Neither have misrepresented the
property to make sale of stock. If
Misrepresentation has been made to
any person such statements were
based on mining reports of practical
mining men or by statesmen who were
working on commission but this
have no knowledge. If blame is to
be attached let it rest where it be-
longs. Mr.. Surman was eight
months at the mine in 1907. Stock
holders know that Mr. Mailer had
the mine examined by an expert and
! invested on his advice, and his own
personal examinations. Mr. Lii Wis

vested money after that date. Messrs.
Goetsch, Pabst and others sent man
there who reported favorably and
they invested. Mr.. S. H. Helm in
vested only after a personal exami-
nation. as did w. H. Dixon, Dr. Sher-
law, W. f. Shackelton, A. E. Linds-
kog. E. c. Moeller, D. Mackinnon
and R. Won Tardy. Mr. Morris
Schram was there six or eight
months and j. w. Masser has been
there for two years. Nearly every
other man advertised as victim sent
representative and put his money
! in on the statement of others and not
on my statements. The charge that
only five cars of ore were shipped
from the mine is absolutely and will
fully false, as also that | issued in
1906. a statement that the ore aver
aged $153.43 per ton and that the
mine was making $500 per day. l
did. however, show the result of five
days run in the smelter and will
stand on my statement.

sonal supervision of Mr.. G. Scott An

reports. For over two years l have
not been on speaking terms with Mr..
Anderson, in fact since he ceased to
do the company's work.

Mr. d. E. Mackinnon:
Dear Sir-Have just returned
from the Amador property. and
while there made an investigation
and survey of the mine.
"I herewith enclose a sketch of
the lower level. together with enough
of the upper workings to show its
relative position with them.
Tine first ore chute encountered
in this 26O-foot level starts in at a
point SIS feet from the main crosscut

posed on the left side only, conse-
