I 1 Hi' I ' After a long and laborious session the I ' A , ' nbareholdors of the Star Con. Mining I i . company adjourned last night with a I new set of officers and directors, and I with a determination now that a new I 'IP administration la In the saddle to unite R 'if , In an endeavor to place Its Tintlc prop- I , ; j erties on a basis as productlvo as that I j ( attained by tho neighbors. Whilo tho I , ' ; former administration, against which I jnuch antagonism bad devolopod, went H down, it was with Its boots on and aC- " ter it had fought even' inch of the i j ground. Of the now administration ' , Henry G McMillan was elected presl- i ,1, dent, J. P. Turner -vice-president, and ( Prank D. Kimball secretary and treos- ) urer. these, with Col. A. C. Ellla and i ' C. F. Packard to serve as directors, t -whilo William II.

E. Booth, who had i served the temporary organization as j I chairman, defeating H. T. Reynolds of ) Springvlllc, -while W. E. Bateman was , J chosen secretary. Immediately after ' tho election was concluded, roorts i ', were asked of the retiring officers, but . f 1 ! they were referred to an auditing committee com-mittee without being read, this com- I ! mlttec consisting of W J. Bateman and I ' , L. A. Amsden. . Mr. Packard, former president of the I ! company, on the ovo of adjournment, ' nddressed tho shareholders at some length, reminding them of what he had J , done to conserve their Interests at a t ; 1 period when the outlook was most for- x bidding. , There was nothing personal about tho Insurrection to which Mr. Packard had u succumbed, however, and not a man present but would have shed his sweat- t or in the retiring president's behalf. The Issue was explicit. The majority t had revolted at a proposition to equip the company with a mill for half Its mine, and It was In the opposition to " this that President Packard and his J cabinet went down. Briefly the result of tho meeting was a disapproval of f negotiations looking to this equipment, and yet the new administration will ' probably Eeek means with which to re- v duco the low-grade ores that have accumulated ac-cumulated at the properties, while those of commercial quality have been t coming to market. |
