A few weeks ago the Transcrirr in
commenting upon the management of
the Baltic mining company operating
in Eureka township of. this county,
advised intending purchasers of stock
tomake a careful investigation into the
records of the board of managers and
the condition of the property before
they invested. This very reasonable
if followed weaken public cénfideace
in or jéopardize the standing of any
properly regulated enterprise, was condemned in some wellkmeaning quar
ters; and the adviser was taketr to
task for his remarks. Subsequent developments, however, prove that what
this paper said then. was timely. A
prominent and reliable mining man
who appears to be well iuformed on
the subject says the company has suspended all operations.on its claime
Dublin Bay and Erie, and that some of
the miners have not received their pay.
The company has on the Baltic twenty
stamps, on the Gambrino five, on the
Dublin Bay ten and on the Erie ten.
$124,000 of the stockholders’ money is
said to have been expended. On the
Baltic location 1,400 feet of tannel has
been rau, and 200 tons of ore extracted and milled yielded $4.50 a ton.
There is on hand a large quantity of
provisions and other supplies. The
miner who talked with the reporter on
the subject said: ‘I am not prepared
to say the trouble is due to aviything
worse than what I regard as bad
financial management. ‘The ledge a'
