On\nthe other hand Ashworth, the last\ncenter ot tbo Hankers seldom misaad\nbla foul throws.

THE PROSPECTOR, CRANBROOK, B. C.\nFollow on Challenge\nPreface of Booklet and Message\nto Shareholders\nThe \"Inside History of a Mining Company\" is written\nfor the purpose of showing the great difficulties met with in\nattempting to secure a fair deal for those not in the inner\nring in Company affairs. Whilst it is admitted that Promoters have a right to fair remuneration for services rendered, and the Companies' Act permits that, but without\nlimit, provided the technicalities of the law are complied\nwith; hence, tbe great number of Multi-Millionaires who have\nBpring up Uke mushrooms in modern timeB. This Act was\nnever intended to allow Promoters to allot themselves\nBhares for imaginary or no consideration, and then sell the\nshares and pocket the proceeds. The ordinary subscriber\nfor shares has no means of learning the difference between\nPromoters' ami other Bhares nor does he \u00bbinow whether the\nmoney he pays for them is used for the exploitation of a\nproperty In which he Is a partner, nor has he much knowledge of the property and as a rule cannot tell whether it\nis of the wild cat kind or not, and generally invests witb\na feeling tbat it is a gamble with long odds against him.\nThe results are baneful in many ways and greatly retard\nthe development of Natural resources.\nHence the reason I have urged the Authorities to pass\na measure similar to the \"Blue Sky Law\" ol Kansas, which\neffectively protects investors against Wild Catters and\nCrooked Promoters and gives the investor a feeling ol security and confidence, It is often the lack of confidence which\ndestroys many really good undertakings au.l tbe necessary\ncapital cannot be obtained,\nSuch was the caso with the Company whoBC history\nI am telling. It was on the verge of being down and out\nand about live bundled shareholders stood a good chance uf\nlosing all, wben tbe Company made me a most attractive\noffer whereby I would make a hug'* fortune if our endeavors\nwere successful. Then, immediately the development of the\nproperty looked as though we had the fortune within our\nreach began a great struggle for control; but the amus-ng\npart of it is that up to that time nobody wanted the control nor responsibility.\nA great part of tbe story touching statistics and reports may not prove interesting but if it has the effect I\nintend, that is, that it may in a small degree be the means\nof hastening the necessary legislation to protect Investors\nit will havo attained the object for which it has been written\nThe next edition to this will contain eitracts from\u2014\n\"Political Patronage, Ancient and Modern.\"\n\"Word Pictures of Political, Legal and Judicial luminaries\u2014Guess Who?\"\n\"How a few strong men saved a modern Sodom and\nGomorrah.\"\n\"The Blue Sky Law of Kansas\" how a similar law\nwould enhance the credit of Canada and protect investors.\nA. E. WATTS.\nWattsburg, B.C.\nMarsh 21st, 1914.\nTo the Shareholders of the\nBoundary Mining 6? Exploration\nCompany, Limited\nMarch 2lst, 1914, Wattsburg, B C.\nTho last annual meeting was held at Midway, near\nyour property, for the purpose of enabling shareholders to\nexamine the development work done and to judge for themselves as to the value of the property. Quite a number\nvisited the mine and were enthusiastic about the coal showings and future prospects of making a quirk fortune; but I\nam florry to report that our expectations have not yet been\nrealised, and 1 hope you will cnrefully read the following\nwhich I think it is my duty to lay hefore you owing to\ncriticisms tbat have appeared in Toronto \"Saturday Night\"\nthe history of tbe Company Hince I have been connected\nwith it will prove interesting and show the injustice of the\nremark,   published\nIn the lirst place  your freehold land alone Is worth\nover twice the amount of money so fur expended, computing thu vnlue ol the land on tho basis of the actual value\nol the adjoining  land  for fruit aud agricultural purposta.\nIt was this feature that induced me, after careful examination ot the land to join the Company and to invite others\nto  subscribe  in  the  mining  venture;  because the  value  of\ntho land   would   safeguard   myself  and  othera from  actual\nloss it tbe coal did not prove to be a commercial success,\nand If the latter proved as we expected we should all participate in a huge fortune.     In thin I was most enthusiastic nnd optimistic ami had, and still have, reason to be so,\nae the context will show.     Knowing very little about coal\nI did not rely upon my own judgment but consulted others\nIncluding well known Dominion Government Geologists, who\nexamined the coal measures with me.     I also compared the\nreports of three well known mining engineers of high repute\nwith ths visible showings of coul nnd frit justified in saying\nthat the .Company owned n very valuable coal property and\nexpressed myself as willing to invest and  w ,._ for the development  of  the  coal,  provided   tbe  books,  accounts  and\ntitles were satisfactory.\nTha Directors submitted resolutions, passed and confirmed at two meetings in which tbey practically offer .ii me\nthe control on generous and easy terms if I wi-ull Ta-..' tbe\nconduct of the busine.s in hand, Finally I consented, on\nthe condition, that a general meeting of shareholders continued the action of the DlWCto.li This was done and the\nminutes and resolutions wire duly tiled with the Registrar\nof Joint Stork Companies- It was my first eiperlence in\nCompany bltlUleil and I found I had a lot to lenrn anil I\nwould not sufler the same persecution and torments a.-a-.u\ntor all the mineral wealth of Canada. At. that time the\nCompany Wai in debt with no funds .n hand, 584,00(1 filiates\nout of one million fOQI, with net results, ar.oiding to tbe\nbooks, ol about 116,000.00 or an average of tbfll Centl PW\nshare. As the books showed that shares had l*<*n sold for\nae high as 50 cents I att.ed tor explanations tind was told\ntbat tbe greater portion of the ehares had been given Uy\nformer Directors to themselves, as Vendors of the property\nto the Company. That, to me seemed reasonable and I\naccepted the explanation, an I had no records to prove\notherwise. At thfit period there were about five hundred\nshareholders, many of whom regarded their cash us lost.\nShares were offered at 5 cents with no buyers. Amongst\nth. Directors were some well kn \u00bbwn and highly respected\ngentlemen, but who had left the business to others. I consulted the former and their opinion was, that a capable and\ndetermined man could make a great success of thy venture.\nI purchased large blocks of $1,00 shares for 6 cents pet-\nshare. The active development Ot the property shortly\natter created a demand and D, sol 1 the shares for 17 cent,\nand put the proceeds in tbe Company's treasury for dnvel\noprftent work, I found that these cheap shares were thine\nthe original Dlroctors hud kindly allotted to themselves and\nmore of tho same kind kept coming in from all quarters for\ntransfer. I Instituted more searching enquiries as to thr\ntitle of these gentlemen _n the shares fcnd challenged thom\nand positively refused to transfer nny morn until tbey\nproved that they wen- legally obtained, this they could n >t\ndo, in one Instance one person had parted with $1400.00 for\na block   I hnd  refused  to transfer.     lie made nn affidavit\nand sent, proofs that be had paid cash, none of which found\nits way into tbe Company's treasury but Into an ei-Direc-\ntor's pocket. These shares 1 transfered but T at onct*\nnotified stock brokers that no more shares of that character\nwould be transfered without, an order *of the Court, But,\ndid I not raise a prolific crop of trials and tribulations,\nplots, and counter plots to supplant or overthrow mo and\nplace a more pliable and obliging mau in my pi-sition. One\nof the most cruel attempts was perpetrated by one of your\nDirectors, who was well aware that certain ex-Directors had\nBold many thousand dollars' worth of illegally obtained\nshareB and put the proceeds into their own po.\u00bb;et_. The\nDirector referred to expressed the opinion that he was well\nqualified to occupy the position of Managing Director and\nwould like the position. He issued several circulars containing untrue statements regarding myself and demanded\nthat a Directors' meeting should be culled to appoint a\nperson who would transfer the shares referred to. Of\ncourse, it wa. easy to obtain the support ot the holders ol\nthat kind ol shares, und by means of many untrue statements in which he vilified me, he obtained the promised\nsupport of good men and Imagined he bad the required\nmajority. Sight Directors attended the meeting, and after\nthe fullest investigation, the snid Director's assertion!* were\nfound to bc untrue. A ballot was taken and all voted in\nmy (avor, except one. During this meeting ubout 60,000\nshares I was holding in escrow were stolen. A search warrant wns issued und they were found in tbe house ot the\nDirector who wus so anxious to supplant me us Managing\nDirector. He also adopted more malicious methods and\nconspired with the then Manager of the mme to circulate n\nreport that l had misrepresented the mme In my reports to\nshareholders, whereas, nil my reports were based ou the\nreports 1 insisted on being supplied with hy the Manager in\ncharge* ae it wus seldom I could visit tbe mme, since the\nround trip from where I live occupies from tive to su duys.\nMy great difficulty was getting tbe reports from the mine\nregularly,  one excuse or another being made, nml the  Man\nuger in question waa nutated beyond measure because 1 In-\nsiso.'d on detailed regulai reports. He demanded a great\nincrease in salary which 1 did not assent to. He then\nwroto a. scurrilous uud abusive letter uud quit without pro*\nper notice.\nTwo weeks prior to the Annual meeting ol April, 1918,\n1 engaged the Manager referred to. He came to ste me.\nstayed over night, tested coal from the mine, examined the\nManager's reports and read tbe annual report I was prepar\ning. My Instructions to him were\u2014go io Midway, take\nyour time and thoroughly examine the property, let me\nhava your candid opinion and if 1 have been mis informed\nin any way let me kiu-w at once. On the day of the Annual meeting at Midway with several shareholders I visited\ntha mine, and the Manager in reply to questions, said;\n\"That the coul exceeded his expectations, and assured me\nthat my report he had read was all right.\" We went\nthrough tbe workings alone with the visitors, when Mr.\n-\u2022leach, the old manager, with two rods measured the thickness of the coai seam from door to ceiling, which was measured with a rule before the visitors, at one point the seam\nbeing close on 10 fe*t thick, at others 3, 6, and 8 feet, On\nthat evening 1 addressed the shareholders in the Public Hall\nat Midway. Reader* who were not there can readily understand what the shareholders thought of the property they\nhad just Been, when it is explained that they voted in\nfavor of authorizing the Directors to increase the capitalization of the Company if they thought it necessary, with\nm view to purchasing the other coal lands in the valley so\nas to control the situation. One speaker expressed an\nopinion that it would he better to wait until the Company\nwas shipping. Heveral others spoke at length, pointing\n\u2022mi. .h_t nnrea would itimn iin when we commenced to ship\naud it would be wiser to purchase before that time. Wa\nhave not arrived at the shipping point yet, and extracts\nfrom the official reports, signed by tbe old manager, Beach,\nand three other certificated managers will explain the progress, the ups and downs and changes in the strata of the\ncoal from time to time,; and as hefore pointed out In making my reports I did not rely entirely upon my own Judgment, but on that of experts confirmed by many visitors,\nconsisting of some of tbe leading Editors, Doctors, Lawyers,\nMerchants, Manufacturers, and many others who visited the\nmine with me and without exception, expressed their wlsb\nto become shareholders.\nThe following are extracts from reports sent in by one\nmanager named Thomas Keith, a coal miner with flrst class\ncertificate and an extensive 'experience, from time to time\nba reported as follows:\u2014\n\"Making good progress, conl indications remain .good.\"\n\"Coal is improving in quality also In quantity.\"\n\"The improvement haa fully equalled my expectations**\n\"A down-throw or roll in the roof cut out about two\nfe?t of the coal bearing strata.\"\n\"Expect roll in roof to disappear in a few more teet,\nquality of coal is improving, ft is a lighter nature and freer from foreign substance.\"\n\"Quality of coal is improving, water Is troubling us.\"\n\"The seam is now back to its normal thickness, that\nis eight feet, quantity of coal slowly increasing,\nin tli- bottom of slope the coal is nf excellent\nquality that on top is mixed with shale.\"\nIn reply to my question as to the percentage of merchantable coal, from time to time, he reported on various\noccasions as follows:\u2014\n\"Seam fl feet thick merchantable coal about 40 to 50\nper cent,\"    Ttt?n later on \u2014\n\"Roll  ln roof or intrusion of  rock  and shale, seam\nstill fl feet thick but oil foreign matter no coal.\"\nSeam ono side 14 feet, thick other side 8 feet, conglomerate with coal and lhal-.\"\nMr. Keith wrote:\u2014\"We hnd a visit from an American\nMining  Engineer on Tuesday and he corroborated what I\nsaid  when you  were here.\"     Later on  I shall quote from\nthis Engineer's report with other-..\nMr. Lerny Taylor, another manager employed at tbe\ncn il* reported ah follows,\u2014\n\"Vou ask me to give my opinion as to the quality and\nquantity of coal, the quality of clean coal here\nBeems first class, hut to get Its true commercial\nvalue you wlll have to get an analysis. I am\nfully convinced tbnt by sinking down two or three\nhundred feet we will get Into an undisturbed\n.'in md nnd so get rid or thnt slate which is mixed into the coal.\"\n\"1 think the hest plan will be to build coal hunkers\nclose to the mine and then build a track tn tbe\nmine.\"\nMr. Taylor also pointed out. thut qunntltics of coal\nhud been wasted, and wroti as follows:\u2014\"You had hotter\nii'lviii! Mr. Beach to put somebody outside to pick coal, ae\nI think n mnn would make bis wages and more.\"\nMr, 1\\ 11. flench, who has worked at your mine for\nover two years, is a man of large experience and was Superintendent for over four yearn ut lhe Houth Hhaft Mine, Lincoln, Illinois. Mi. Beach believed ro much in tbs future\nprospects of this property that ho volunteered to take a\ngreat proportion of his wngeii In the Company'* shares,\nwhich be bus done, and nt thn present lime HU per cent of\nthe workmen employed at the inln* Imve volunteered to do\nlikewise. Mr. llench'H reports Would lill quite a large volume. At the beginning of November, run, Mr. Beach\nreports:\u2014\"No _ tunncll driven fthoitt 200 feet, seam 7 feet\nthick.\"\nHe was asked to report from time to time the amount\nof foreign matter iu the seam, this varied from one-third to\ntwo-thirds from time to time. The seam ia the tunnel averaged from three to nine feet thick for a distance of over\nfour hundred feet when a broken formation was met with\nand it was difficult to determine the exact width or Muck\nnesB. On the advice of experts we then commenced to sink\na slope on the vein where it was 7 feet thick and depth\nshowed a great Improvement for quite a distance wben we\nencountered a broken formation of a very troublesome character. I then sought tho advice of the beBt coal men available, their opinions were that it would he more economical\nto prove the value of the underlying seams byi cross cutting\nthun with a Diamond Drill.\nTha Drill iB now at work under the supervision ot my\nsou, who has had an extensive experience in drilling, nnd\nthe instructions are that tho drill is to he; W.pt going duy\nand night, aud a full report as to whnt we encounter will\nbe submitted in detail at the Annual Meeting ou April 6th,\nt may mention ulso tbnt besides the many olllclal reports signed by Mr. Beach, be wrote numerous letters, extracts being as follows:\u2014\n\u25a0'Sinking ou conl, coal on one side is li (eet nud on\nother side is four uud a half foet,\"\n\"We aro iu ID feet from the face where wo started and\nhave coat that burns well, the bone hus got down\nto . inches and tbi' face 7 feet from foot to banging wall and the coal getting hotUir every tool.\"\n\"Face Innow tl feet 10 inches and I think getting better  every  foot.\"\n\"The coal is turning out ho  well iu tunnell, thought\ntbnt   was the  place  to get results uud  olio you\ncould handle lots of coal out of,\"\n\"Coal looking well nnd am driving [u the conl straight\ninto tho bill.\"\n\"t'oal holds about the same,  have six  men at work,\nthat   is all  we cuu work' to advantage  until we\ncommence sinking.\"\n'Have three shifts woifUng in tunnel, the face ls looking lots better tu quality, and believe before the\nmonth Is out  we wtll have shipping coal.

D. Kerr of Midway, one of your Directors, who\nresides not far from the mine, was asked to visit the snme\nfrequently an_( report to head-office, and he did so on several occasions.\nThe following are extracts from Mr. Kerr'B reports:\u2014\nDecember* 30. 1912\n\"The Coal Company of which you are President has\ndone a pioneer work in establishing the width and. iiuality\nof the coal for which they should reap a good reward. I\nbelieve that tbe tunnel is now in a solid field. Yesterday\nI was out toi see it. I draw you a map of the vein as I\nfound lt. They are almost past the fault and I think 20\nfeet more Bhould establish the fact we are1 under the solid\nmountain and I think the coal should be all hard.\nI think Mr. Beach is a very good man for this preliminary work. He is a worker and keeps the tunnel going\nin all the time. I do not see a cent wasted at the present\nstate ot development.\nHr. Beach has the blower! established and I do not\nsee anything in sight to stop the progress of tbe tunnel.\n1 noticed yesterday the banging wall was) flatter than I had\never seen it before. I hope we are almost to tbe place\nwhen all the coal, will be merchantable as mined. If tbls\nproves to be so, from my viewpoint, as a small shareholder, I would, like to see no morel Btock on the market at\na low price, that is, the treasury stock.\"\nMay 17th, 1913\n\"I took a load of people from Midway to see thle mine\nlast Saturday* and it never lookedi better. Mr. Keith, Mr.\nBeach and three men were working. They said tbey were\ndowi SO feet. Tonight I hear in town tbat the mine1 still\nlook! good and tbat they are down to tbe 40 foot level.\nThe} lost a lot of time on the turn getting the wheels, etc.\nin place, but from now on it should hei clear going until the\nwater begins to trouble them. I am going out to have a\ngood look around either today or tomorrow and will writ,'\nvou fully either Monday or Tuesday.\"\nMay 19th, 1913\n\"I visited tbe mln* yesterday and found everything\nal right. Mr. Keith was working lu the bottom of tbe\nshaft just like any common miner. He has had\" some difil-\ncilties to contend with and I think ynu should give hint a\nfr\u00ab band. Be\/far tbe mine (moaning slope) is now down\nabut 4. feet and has improved with depth. I will go out\nto see for myself uext Sunday and report to ynu lust how\ninch tbey bave sunk and all about It..'\nMay Mth. 1913\n\"I was out tn thn coal mine and the work is progress-\nIn favorably.

KERR\nBelow are extracts from a very comprehensive report\nwlch occupies three closely typewritten pages. This exain-\nintlon was made by the well-known R. S.

A sentiment has for years\nbeen gradually rooting itself in the\nminds of many ministers that the\nwork of tbe Church Is becoming tn\nbe more than ever of a social nature.\nIhe socialized Church is no doubt\nthe Church of the future, hut she Is\nlearning tho truth by hard experience\nthat the social feature Is secondary\nnnd tributary to the spiritual. The\nBaptist Church of this city, under\ntbe leadership of her pastor, Rev. O.\nE.
