I can only say now that I or ganized all the companies In which I was Idcntlflcil upon a logical basis and that there Is no reason why they will not ulti mately prove paying Investments.

CAUSU OK Tin : THOUDLC. "Tho whole trouble' was precipitated b > the action of President Williams of the Chemical Natlciial bank of New York , In de manding the resignation of Cashlct Quintan. The various companies with whleh I was con- necte'd wereIn good condition , although It is true1 carrjlng a large Indcbtcdnita , and the ) wcro In no way dissimilar to thousands of other projects which arc nt the prebetit day Uickud by largo eastern capital , To sftow jou that President Williams' action was un- wairanted , I had a consultation with him a lew davs previous to the resignation of Cash ier Qulnlan and told him that I bad nlrcadv SISO.OOO on hand with which to pay the In debtedness of our companies to the bank , and that nlth a few wocKs time I could e isllv rolse the revst of the amount He was aware of tlio fact that I had paid off a note of $100- 000 which had been duo the bank upon a former occas > lom , and he bad no right to doubt my ability 01 honest ) to do so in the Piesent Instance. If President Williams ban withheld action In the matter for n fortnight , his bank would have leeched every dollar that VIMS due ft from the LMgemont com panies. As additional proof that President Wllllans did not act In good falWi , clthci with Cashier Qulnlan or m > self , I will merely etato that the 'little tlyec' he speaVs of investing In In connection with , the l dge- jiiont enterprises paid him back , In dividends , three-fourths of the capital he placed In them. "In si mining up the work of western de veloping in which I have been engaged during the past seven years , I find that the original Edgemont Tovvnslto company , capi talized at $175,000 , hab paid b ck to Its stockholders In div Idends nearly three- fourths of the money Invested , This was accomplished In the face of har-J times , so It would appear from this that the so- called 'schemes' must bo of some pro ducing value The Union Hill Smelting propoity , together with that built at Galeni , costing in the aggregate nearly $200,000 , I regard as a good Investment. The mines from which these plants receive their ore are among the richest in the state and are not second to even the famous Honicatake There Ins been up until lately 300 men employed In these plants and in the mines at an expenditure of neaily $1,000 per day. 1 think work will again very shortly 'bo re sumed. ALL WDNT TOGETHER. "Ill organl/lng the various companies for the development of the Cdgemont region I floated the bands of the Edgemont Town- site company , the Edgemont Irrigation com pany , the ndgemont Stone company and the Union Hill Mining and Smelting company Dich of these was dovetailed Into tbo other i > o that all would support the one which preceded it. When the crash came it paral- j ed each and ever } one of them. "Previous to the action of the Chemical National bank all of these industries were doing well. Wo had eold large numbers of grind stones to the Pullman company , to the largest wholesale hardware dealers of the country , and to many laigo corporatLns The building stone taken out of the Edgemont quarries found a ready market. "I think tbo verdict of Vlco President Har ris of the Hurllngton , lately published in the papers , should bear out my faith in the re sources of the EdKcmont country. Ho said that the city of Edgemont had been built up upon a solid foundation , from a sttag- gllng village to a thriving town of 3,000 pop ulation. Ho considered the resources back of It as excellent and predicted a prosperous future for It. "Tho Irrigation company was thriving at the time the crisis came and had been for the past two jears It 1ia done on immense amount of good In developing a fertile coun try nnd In a way that was permanent In con clusion , I will say that my llfo Is bound up In thcso ventures and that I shall see them through to the end.

" Mr. Grable stated that ho would remain In this city for several diys In order to recruit his nerve forces and that he would then visit Edgemont and the other Intercuts In that vicinity with which ho U Identified.
