PANY ELECTS DIRECTORS

The annual election of officers and
directors of the Gold Fountain Mining
and Milling company, was held at Del
ia, on Monday evening. DIR. A. w. Nc
Arthur, president, r. F. Pace, vice
president; N. ]. Bradley secretary
treasurer, and Joe Ingram, James Bur-
gin, l. NJ. Conklin, F. b. Parker, direc-
tors in addition to the officers.
The Gold Fountain company has a
lease on an old property on the Ami
mas river, near Silverton. Some years
ago tunnel was driven over 1900 feet
and remained idle until last year when
the Delta company acquired bond
and lease. 1t is said the property of
fers good prospects, considering the
territory adjacent to 1t, such as the
famous Sunnyside mine and others.
About so stockholders are in the
local company and they have very
good plan of payment for stOckhold-
ers, every member Of the company
way Of assessments. which makes a
fund of sufficient size to carry on the
Work. The stock is held in escrow
and becomes fully paid up when the
company strikes ore of sufficient body
and value to make the mine self-sup-
porting.
Last year the tunnel. which had
been badly caved in places, was thoro-
ughly cleaned out and retimbered.
Work being carried on until the first
Of December. when the work was stop
ped until spring. The company intends
to push work more aggressively this
year by adding an air compressor and
doing all the drilling by power drills.
A fitting resolution was passed by
the stockholders deploring the loss of
their late manager. o. Hand. in
the month of November Of last year.
Mr. Hand was one of the first to sug-
gest the organizing of the Delta com
pany and made one or two trips east
during the early days of the forming
of the company. His successor has
not been named.
The stockholders present expressed
themselves as well pleased with what
had been accomplished last year and
they look forward to the work of 1920
as one that will bring results in the
way of putting the mine on paying
basis 1t is expected that work will
start about May 18th.

Remarkable Plot
 to Get Possession
 of $25O,000 Estate

San Juan. P. R., July 31.-Extradi- tion proceddings brought by the Gu, ban counsel against Rafael Martorell, a Cuban business man here, reveal what is alleged to be a remarkable ease of intrigue and personation to obtain a $250,000 estate.
 The estate belonged to Porto Ri can, Manuel Fernando Fernandez Vega and the story of the alleged plot goes back to the days of the Cuban revo- iution. when Vega and Martorell were said to have been comrades in arms in Cuba. Vega was killed in battle but, it is alleged, word of his death never reached his father in Porto Rico and valuable property later was bequeathed to him.
 The present proceedings are based upcn an allegation that Martorell persuaded Junana Maria Valdes Sua- reg and Manuel Antonio Fernandez Vega falsely to represent themselves as the widow and son of the deceased Vega. It is further alleged that in 1917, in connection with these repre- sentations, Martorell committed fraud in the municipal court at Regla and also before a notary at Havana Cuba, and by such means succeeded in having all the rights of the estate of Vega conveyed to him.
 The eXtradition suit occupied the federal court here for the greater pant of week and resulted in Judge Hamilton ordering the transpation in- % English of all She papers in con-
