Stockholders Are Being Asked to Give the Proposed Removal Considerable Thought In Exeter and vicinity there oro :t considerable number of stockhol- ders in the Durham Cement Com- pany, and the proposed removal of the plant from Durham Ives caused a stir apron; those leers holding stock and also throughout the whole Dominion. A few years ago a pro- moter for the company came to Exe- ter and the immediate vicinity, as- suring he people that looney invest- ed in this enterprise would firing larger dividends than anything heing promoted at that ttimc. ile spoke of the vast quantities of marl; to be socuted at Durham and that the supply was ueexhaustible or that it would last for at least fifty years. Wi'.h this ;larin; assurance and the pne•spectsof sharing in the largo div• idcrds to bo paid, he succeeded in sc- curing upwards of $ 100,000 from this vicinity. Tho mill was built and the company capitalized at a million of dollars, of which one-fourth, or $250,000 was appropriated by the pro- moters. This was Looked upon by the shareholders as a huge swindle. but upon an explanation by Mr. Cow - ham the "natter was allowed :to raft. The construction work went on and what was supposed to no the best marl cement mill in America, was put in operation. about 1,000 barrels a day being its capacity. The mill was in debt when it: was com- pleted and this had to bo paid out of the earnings. The destruction of a portion of the plant by lightning, inexperience of the w•otkmen, and other causes made the mill a profitless concent for a couple of years. The news of +this state of af- fairs was spread broadcast, and the tact that dividends were not forth- coming. caused the Stock to go down to 16c on the dollar. This year the mill has been a honey maker. At the beginning of 1905 there was an indebtedaeas of about $140,000 which }las been gradually reduced to *30.000 shoving that a large amount of business was done. Now is where ttho shoo vi•nohes• It is stetted that in face of this pros- perity the majority of the Board of Directors have a resolution on their hocks to move .the mill elsewhere. On this .natter WC have interviewed Mr. Joseph Cobbledick, of Exeter, Vise -President -'of The awnfinny. He tells us that Supt. 1•'arr, of the com- pany, a man who has had consider- able experience in cement enter- prises, at a meeting of the Ito•rrd some time este, advised that body that the supply of marl la almost exhausted but ptight•po•wsibly last (two years long- er. Mr. Farr stated •that \Vilder's Take, which was supposed to con- tain an inexhaustible supply wvas almost cleaned out, and displayed to tire hoard a chart of the lake show- ing where tes(M were made and where the dredge had worked. In some places the snarl showed up (cool, but in other places n vegetable deposit was found, which took as touch (ucl to purify as the clear marl.

Newspaper reports from Durham are emphatic in statin; that there is an abundaanco of marl, not- withstanding t),o esscr:ions of Mr. Farr, and a telephone message from or of the Directors states that he confirms the newspaper reports. The stockholders here, sellout we terve interviewed are unanimous in (•xtresint their intention of hold- ing their stock and emphatically ob- ject to )laving the plant moved.

Dear Sir.-Itegarding the Durham mill (National Portland Gement Co.)
