THE BISBEE DAILY REVIEW. BSPARROW SCORED IN OPEN LEERDR. BRANDON. ONE OF ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE GOLD TREASURE, MAKES SPECIFIC CHARGES AGAINST OKLAHOMAN THAT ARE AT ONCE STARTLING AND SENSATIONAL.Promises of hd expose of ;he methods alleged to have been followed by the management of the now defunct Arizona Mining Development *um-T»n have at last been furnished. In a letted received yesterday from Dr. Brandon, whose signature appear* at its close, that gentleman score* .Manager Sparrow and hia associates in a merciless manner. The letter follow?:Naco, Arizona, July 17, 1S*uC.“That the company Is defuuct is no surprise to those who are on the ground and art* conversant w?tb the management. In fact the stockholders art- much better off to have it closed down than to have It run.The first car load t concentrates that was shipped to the smelter at El Paso netted the company over $2.-OoO gold. E. F. Sparrow credited the company with $100. and you can draw ycur conclusions as to where ‘he other $5*00 went.But we should not blame Sparrow too much as he U from Oklahoma City hvcry few day a we see an account in the papers where some Oklaiumi City u ;»n ir: arrested for floating some v-AC-cj scheme. The readers of me papjis ilt; member tht a short tlrnt ago one Patrick sold city lots In i great t iv.ii town ir. Sonora called Viet i i:i. uni v ren the purcha-.crs attempted *o move to their n»-w h'nue «hey comd ao1 rind :he town. This Is atr.v one instance of many of the same kind where the Oklahoma men have attempted to work their ginft.Now we have one nearer home. Sparrow and all his relatives who are in with him know thai the mine Is a good one and I believe their only and sole object of letting It go into the hands of a receiver is to wait until it is offered for sale by the receiver and then boy U in and own It all them-selvea.The lowest rock in the mine will assay $14.35 and the mill will work 22 tons per day ad Sparrow says this only amounts to $6«» with an expense of $120 per day. Of course? you must remember that he is from Oklahoma City, and from the Impression we have of people from that quarter of the globe that way of figuring is probably correct.These western people who have been born and raised on the desert among the cacti and sage brush would not know the difference, and a fellow should not be censured for what he does not know*.Mrs. E. F. Sparrow, who was former! y Superintendent and GeneralManager, has returned tp the mine, no one knows what for except God and He won't tell.In a recen: issue of The Miner, Sparrow bad the following to say 'While Mr. Gavito will be receiver for the company he has employed me on a salary to run the mine lor him. Tor the benefit of the creditor*. ! will do my best to do something with It, but 1 do not now see how it ia to be effected.Mr. Gavito says: ‘There Is not one word of truth in the above statement.I Intend to run It myself, and 1 have no Job for Mr. Sparrow.The stockholders here are highly pleased that Mr. Gavito is the Manager and Receiver of the company and we know that from now on there will be no graft. Mr. Gavito la as straight a man as ever lived and his word la worth one hundred cents on the dollar, and if there Is any chance to straighten out the affair's of the company, Gavito is the man that can and will do it.Another thing that I wish to impress on your minds is. that Mr. Gavito is not from Oklahoma City.This crowd of turnip buskers have been three years promising and lying and promising again to fulfill their contract wirh the Gold Treasure people for the erectiou of a 20-stamp mill j and tramway on the property for the three-fifths of the stock which was issued to them in good faith, and in consideration of the stock the above amount of machinery was to be erected and run without any debts to th« com-pany. but contrary to agreement they have charged to the company three dollars for every one spent, and arc now trying to freeze all the stockholders out and gain absolute possession of the property.To undertake to relate all the crooked. devilish schemes of that Oklahoma crowd would require a large volume of closely written pages. There Is no doubt that they lie awake at nights studying some trick that will enable them to beat and cheat the people who i*ild their good money for their worthless stock.A traveling man who knows C. G. Jones and his associates well has the following to way of their methods: They plan big undertakings and get other people’s money mixed up in the concern and then Big Jones and his lieutenants fall heir to the whole proposition.We are inclined to believe that this man has them sized up about right.1 will later give you some more about this crowd. •t Signed.I DR. O. W. BRANDON.
