thority as to what to do. the news oi
the failure OF our principal vein would
have been all over Nevada. 1t would
have been too late tC sell the properly
at any price to anybody,
III the vein could be recovered
what difference would that make?
asked one of the disafected share
holders.
1T would make the difference that
YOU would be holding the sack instead
of the other fellow" retorted Seagrue'
bluntly.
The chairman. one of the larger mi
nority stockholders. proved enc OF the
least tractable OF the dissatisfied. HE
rose to reply to Seagrue's address
You are telling US" he said coidiy'
that you disposed of one of the pest
quartz properties in the superstition
mountains for a song because your
foreman told you the vein had pinched
out. And you say your expert corroo-
GRATED his statement By what right
did YOU go ahead in this fashion with
out calling US together to decide
whether we did not want further eA-
pert advice on the possibility OF To-
eating the vein'"
That part of the matter has been
threshed out already said Seagrue
angrily.
NO. it hasn't" retorted the chair
man. Not to our satisfaction. Where
the investment is SO large. our inter
ests should have been giveE the most
careful consideration before you dis
posed OF them"
You wouldn't have got ten cents
out of your interests. exclaimed Sea
grue, ''if you had tried what you now
propose"
Even that wouldn't have been Sc
rious matter" persisted the chairman.
"as compared to what you have done.
None of us here are dependent on
dividends from the Superstition mines
for our bread ana butter. We feel. as
business men. that we are entitled to
consideration. You haven't given US
that. BY your own co-fessicu. you
have disposed OF this property under
false pretenses You have. by your
conduct toward your competitors, jus
