Wilson iurnishesi a very elaborate, account of the different; accidents that have dce.ulrred in the Queen! of Beauty for the-list^six months, and; in his reference to my case he attempts) in a very adroit style to throw the onusj »oIF blame" onr my slioulders. had; confined himself to the truth, I should j have allowed this to pass. However, I| should feel very sorry to have again any-i thing to do with the management or the j shareholders pfjthe saidmine.^ In his refer- j ence to my case, 1! f beg'W contradict him,| flatly. He states that myse'f and Feeney I werje-en»ploje(| -|Qg«|l^e| far.,cpr,rect.
