INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE WHITE SWAN MINE The committee of the stockholders of Illinois of tho White Swim Minos Company, Limited, of Gordon, through its chairman, L .N . Lykko, of 4 4U7 Union avenue, Chiacgo, has is3iied a circular letter to the stock holders giving a report of the finan cial condition of the company, as found by Mr. Lykke in bis recent trip to Oregon and California to investi gate the affairB of said mine, as the representative of a club of stock holders. Tio report fa, decidedly the reverse of flattering to tho past management, and Mr. Lykko aims to get in corres pondence with othor stockholders, with a view to arrange for future action. There are about 1,200 stockholders in tbe V hi to-Swan Mines Company, Limited, many of them poor peoplo, and it is hoped to get them in on a py b,asis,iu order that tho stockholders may realize. The Whito Swan is tho property on which Lotsou Kalliett based bis principal operations, and tbo manner of which brought him into notoriety. Kalliot has relinquished all manage ment, made over bis titles to tbe mine to tbo company, and deeded over bis equity in tbe Kakor City Herald, which was fouuded and sus tained by fuuds from the treasury of the White Swan Miucs company. An ontlro new board of directors is to bo soloctod. In tho old board, under tho Kalliot regime, was U. A. Colo man, associato editor and silent part ner in tho Mining and Engineering Koviow, of San Francisco, a sup porting organ to tho Kalliot com panies. C. II. Stullor, of Kakor City, is superintendent of tho Whito Swan mine, and is in hopes of getting tho mine under full operation ore long.
