MOUNTAIN. KING docs !. y: !
NOT LOOK WELL

Mountain King does not look good
in the opinion of Albert Burch, the
engineer employed by local stockhold-
ers in the company to make an inVestis
cation into its affairs. Burch recon-
mends that a further assessment be
paid, to raise $4,000 for final test
of the possibilities of the mine, but
he does not appear to think that there
is very good hope of finding pay ore.
The money is for the purpose of max
ing final and complete tests.
Mr.. Burch finds that total of $714,-
997 has been spent on the mine. The
property has never produced any ore
that has paid for mining and milling.
From February, 1910, to November,
1911, the total expenses amounted to
sos, S5o.44; while the receipts amounted
to $45, 6S1.O9, showing loss of $54,--
681.09. The cost per ton of ore worked
was 1897, receipts 1913, and average
loss 1924.
Mr.. Burch takes occasion several
times in the course of his report to
state his conviction as to the integrity
of the. management. He does not ap-
prove the manner in which the funds
were expended, however, and states
that such errors as have been made
were due solely to inexperience. He
adds: tThe experience which they
have gained has been quite as costly
to them (the eompany's offieers) as to
other stockholders, and fear that
neither the experience nor the mine is
worth the price paid.o

CONGRESS- MUST
DO BEST 1T GAN
Kuhlo Decides to Stay Here and
Carry on Personal Fight
. 3 Against Ft ss (. !, 's =. 4

Delegate Kuhio has definitely de-
cided to turn down every proposal
made to him by the Republican leaders
as represented in the Taft League and
yesterday announced his intention OF
staying away from congress until after
tho middle of April, despite the faeti
that the bill to revise the sugar tariff,
is about to appear in the house and
that there are score Of measures in
committee of vast Importance to the
Territory. af4
The object of the Delegate in re-
naming in Hawaii at this critical time
in the affairs Of Hawaii at Washington
is to carry on fight for control of
the Republican party in Hawaii, as out
lined in his letter to Stephen Desha.
j. p Cooke, with whom Kuhio has
been negotiating, is on Maui and will
not return until Friday. A peculiar
feature of the situation comes in the
fact that the Delegate failed to at
tend conference agreed upon for Mon,
day, where he was to meet Mr. Cooke
and make a definite answer to the
proposals for harmony advanced by the
Taft League president. On Monday
the Delegate, long after the hour of
the conference, sent down word that
he had a sore knee and could not come
downtown. On Tuesday Mr.. Cooke
sailed for Maui and the conference was
postponed until his return tomorrow.
Yesterday, Kuhio s knee recovered and
instead of waiting until Friday, as
agreed upon, to answer Mr.. Cooke per-
sonally, he published his reply in the
newspapers.
This reply, it is understood, was not
unexpected.

it easy for the ex-Republican to get
