Committee Attacks Receivership Action On North Butte Co
A protective committee of Butte stockholders accuses the North Butte Mining receivership of secrecy and improper motives. They claim the company with assets over eight million dollars and May net profits of three thousand six hundred thirty six were forced into receivership for a six thousand five hundred claim backed by twenty five thousand in North Butte bonds. The group says the move occurred without the president or four directors knowing and warns stockholders not to sell while urging a reshaping of management, immediate creditor talks, and cost cuts to avoid sale or reorganization that would harm holders. They call for stockholder unity, regional committees, resignations from current officers, and a New York office shutdown to cut expenses.
