Show chas moore writes about star of utah dear mr in answer to your card reminding me that you want some borne mining news nes lor for tile the park record ot of september I 1 want to say that wo we have plenty ol of news and good news about star of utah and mayflower but it will keep until october ath I 1 think I 1 want mant to devote this space now to a matter that does not particularly concern me but it Is of 0 vital importance to star of utah and mayflower stockholders especially star ot of utah stockholders for some few weeks certain evil smelling bucket hops in denver have made it a practice to put through some wash sales ol of star of utah stock on the so called denver stock exchange just what this so called deriver denver stock exchange Is no one seems to know perhaps two or three hundred of 0 the star ot of utah stockholders dont know what a wash mash sale Is wall briefly a wash sale Is about as follows the proprietor of bucket shop A gets hold hold 0 of or shares of star of utah stop stock k s some me way or other and he be takes it U up P t to the so called denver stock exchange and offers it to the proprietor of bucket shop B tor for eighty cents a share and B pretends to buy it tor for eighty cents a share I 1 and pays over the money in pi public 1 bile s eo all may see or witness the transaction transact loil then in the evening or that night the stock is handed banded back to A and A hands the money to B and then A sends me stock to mr A P ridge broker 6 0 0 dooly block salt lake city or to 1 mr 1 r G H myers of the northwest brokers overland boise idaho or to H P F hines or to any one ot of a dozen other brokers find and sells it at a share or on for or or whatever he can getsay get say to 1 25 a share in the mean time the denver dally daily papers publish the quotations on star ot of utah at a share and thousands of circulars go out from the bucket shops in fort worth and denver and salt lake city to people all over the country giving the news that star of utah has been beell listed on the denver stock exchange and that it Is actively traded in at or a share after this game goes on awhile the wash sales mill be put through at a share and then at a share the whole scheme Is to scare a few dozen toola fools out of their star of utah stock or make them sell it to certain bucket shops at li a few cents a share some poor ignorant fellow sees star of utah quoted at or a share and he be Is assured by some skin game artist that star ol of utah is listed on the great and glorious denver stock exchange and that it is being traded in every day at or or a share and the poor devil feels bad he probably paid tor for his star of utah and lie he feels sick when he sees it quoted at or toe or gac e a share and the result Is that he sells his star of utah to some I 1 bucket shop proprietor lor for a fraction of the real worth of the stock the whole scheme Is to get a few fools to turn loose their star of utah stock for a few cents a share so certain bucket shop proprietors can get some cheap star of utah stock now here are three letters in my possession 1 written by three of the lowestil low lowest estl thieving cui cuis s in the country these three letters were written to star of utah I 1 stockholders in the eastern part of the united states one of these letters Is I 1 from a miserable bucket shop in fort Forti worth texas and the writer states that star of utah has been listed on the denver stock exchange and that the stock Is quoted at to but that it will soon go down to or another letter Is from the biggest thief in salt lake city and a fellow va who ho I 1 ought to have been in the penitentiary I 1 long ago he says star of utah Is listed on the denver stock exchange and that it Is quoted at to but that it win will soon be selling at or a share and he advises that star 0 of f utah be sold at once and the money invested in some perfectly worthless stock which he has tor for sale another letter Is from an evil smelling I 1 denver bucket shop proprietor and I 1 he does riot not knock star of utah so 60 i awful hard yet be advises immediate sale ot of star of utah and that the money be invested in a 9 very very questionable stock which he has tor for sale now personally it Is noue of my business if some star of utah stockholders want to sell fell their star ot at utah stock at ten cents a share and put the money in the most moTt worthless bless stock in the country but it is my business and my sworn duty as a director and as the principal officer of atif th star of utah corporation to give people the facts so that they can not bo be gaped or bamboozled bamboozler or cheated unless they prefer to believe a lie rather then than the facts it Is my business to see or try to see bee that every star I 1 of utah stockholder has the facts the fact Is star ot of utah tunnel Is I 1 beginning to get over into that part of the star of utah territory where anything may happen any day and the skin game artists are getting uneasy they know T r that star ot of utah way may jump to three or four dollars a share any time and they I 1 s know that now Is the time to get t theirs they know star of utah recently cut e a twenty loot fissure right on the lime quartzite contact where most of the great ore bodies that have made park 0 city famous for fifty six elx years are found they know that star of utah expected when work started over two and one halt half athey years ago to cut a great fissure at a point about six thousand feet from the portal of the tunnel and they know that the management ol of star of utah pr predicted ee I 1 work first started that the N great lime quartzite contact would be cut at a point about six thousand feet from rom the portal ot of the tunnel and at a point almost underneath the highest i point ot of bald mountain and at a vertical depth ot of about two thousand feet I 1 they aney know that the knockers have f said all along that we never would cut R the gleat lime allme quartzite contact and that we lever would cut that great flar fissure t they have said and they have howled and howled to all the world that the great fissure was not there and nowhere e else except in our imagination and that tha t the great quartzite lime contact would riot not be leached beached until we had driven the tunnel at least tich e thousand K fret if ever leached beached at all they have lied and lied red find in spite of 0 all this they have not been able to get star I 1 i of 0 utah stockholders to sell ther their stock 4 and invest finiest the proceeds in a lot ot of perfectly I 1 worthless orth less stock they are getting desperate now and they mill aill stop at nothing short or of murder I 1 they know that star ot of utah Is and I 1 1 has been a big undertaking they know that it will be a year or auth a matter yet before we can get on a 06 real big producing and profit making baste basis they know that hundreds of people are ignorant ot of real mining and they think that they can discourage star of 0 utah stockholders now when the game Is nearly won by telling them that we have beien been working a long time and that we have found nothing yet and that of course we never will find anything THIS OP OF COURSE IS A LIE AND THE STATEMENT THAT STAR or OF UTAH WAS EVER LISTED ON THE SO CALLED DENVER STOCK EXCHANGE IS A LIE we have opened up good ore bof bodies fles al alleada leady ali pady and we shipped tons of ore as a fair sample ot of the ore and there Is plenty of this ore yet in the mine for any one to see who wants to know w the facts the ore which we found in 1927 and 1928 was not found at sufficient I 1 I 1 depth but we intended to sink on it I 1 find and did sink an underground shaft feet on oil it when we decided to run the Alay mayflower flower tunnel and get feet more depth on I 1 these ore bodies we quit trying to pump water and produce ore simply because we can take this ore out at a much greater profit later on and through the mayflower tunnel wo we dont N want ant to urge any one to hold his star of utah stock if be sees that he can sell fell it to some skin game artist or trade it and get something real good that will make him rich in a few weeks but blat v we e do know that it Is out our sworn duty to try to give people the facts we took an oath to the state of utah as officers and directors in star of utah to deal squarely and honestly with every staCk stockholder bolder and it Is our duty and our I 1 business to keep people properly info informed rm 11 then it if any one tools fools his bis star of ai utah stock away it Is his business and not our business we knew in the very beginning that I 1 star of utah was a big undertaking and we said so in the plainest of language we knew that we ve would probably have to drive star of utah tunnel eight thousand feet westward into bald mountain before ge getting t ting into the big ore bodies and we said so we had a great objective one of the greatest and surest objectives jec tives ever heard of and we said so WE KNEW THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE THREE TO FIVE YEARS TO REACH OUR OBJECTIVE AND WE SAID SO W WE HAVE MADE remarkable HEADWAY AND WE HAVE ONE OP OF THE FINEST TUNNELS IN THE COUNTRY AND WE HAVE FOUND PAR FAR MORE bl BIG mineralized FISSURES AND PAR MORE ORE AND FAR MORE encouragement I 1 THUS FAR THAN WE EXPECTED every dollar and every penny penn y has been spent to good advantage and while people may damn mr fisher to kingdom come tor for being cold blooded and hard fisted yet the stockholders know that they have a man in charge who won would id rather cut his arm off air than waste a dollar they know that not one penny of their money or my gonei money or his bis money will be wasted and they know that none of vis us can make one penny out of star ot of utah until we get on a good paying basis we are all on an equal tooting my money Is in star ot of utah and fishers money Is in star ot of utah I 1 have never had one centon pay for toy my time and s d worry and mr fibber has only drawn a small wage as superintendent at the mine on the go twelve hours hour a a day the stockholders know that there Is no better managed than star of utah in all the world and 90 or 95 per er cent of the star of utah stockholders are ire mighty well pleased pleaded they the dont intend to fool 1001 their star ol of atall utah stock away amay to please some borne skin game artist who can make them rich in a very few weeks or in a very few months most of the star of utah stockholders are high class
