Scarlet' Mints Pay All Hit Debts.
John K. Searlex, the bankrupt New
York millionaire, has another fortune in
sight. After recently having been dis
charged from bankruptcy the owner of
the large Iron interests in the south and
in KuroK, ami the great sugar king,
will pay dollar for dollar to all his cred
itors and will have a fortune left, large
ly duo to the great wealth of the Cornu
copia mine, in linker county, of which
he is the owner, (ieorge D. Ileattys, for
merly receiver under orders to the fed
eral court of Now York of all the vast
proertleM of .lohu K. Searlex, who went
into voluntary bankruptcy through force
of circumstances, wax in Maker City for
several dnyx. He left this week after
having examined Mr. Searlex great
proerty, the Cornucopia mine. In
"linking of the mine he said: "It ix
remarkable that the properties owned
by Mr. Searlex huvo largely paid his
debts, and that ho will xoou have every
thing liquidated dollar for dollar. While
he hax been discharged by the court I
am In charge of all his procrty ax trus
tee and will give him back u large por
tion of assets free from encumbrance.
Mr. Searlex ix a splendid business man,
and hax another fortune in sight. In
the management of the Cornucopia no
milling will bo done for the purKse of
making dividends. We will simply block
out large lnxlies of, ore and develop the
projH'rty in such a way as to make It a
cash asset. The property 1 not for sale,
and will not be for another year. While
we are developing the proerty there
will bo a surplus over the operating ex
IH'iises." SHkesman-15eview.
