John II. Pape turned all his companies
over to f. o. Altinger, a broker of
Goldfeld. There were six companies in
all. Some of the companies had many
thousand shares of treasury stock and
some money, ~aggregating over $4,000.
All the stock and money and MIR. Pape's
office furniture, books and records of all
kinds were delivered to Altinger by
| Pape under some sort of arrangement,
the exact nature of which we do not
know; anyhow Mr.. Pape claims he re-
ceived but little money, the balance
being in paper that has so far not been
taken up. Mr.. Pape left camp for a
time. On his return no track could be
found of Atlinger or any of the books
of his various companies. Altinger had
left Goldfeld for South America. Pape
claims to be as much in the dark about
Altingers actions after the deal as his
most remote stockholders. Under the
agreement, Altinger, according to Pape,
was to put the companies on their
feet and put some life into the stocks,
but so far as he is able to find out,
absolutely nothing was done. Mr.. Pape
is now in Goldfeld.
