SOUTH PACIFIC PETROLEUM CO.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— l would like you to insert my present communication iu order that the public generally and shareholders iu the above Company particularly, might know what false and utterly absurd rumors get afloat in town. Someone who was evidently ashamed to sign his own name, but who styles himself “Shareholder,” has written an anonymous letter to me asserting that I had told a gentleman dealing in shares that the pipe now being driven was broken, and asking me to give him full information through the papers. I will I never told a soul that the pipe was broken, and if it is, it is more than the men working, or myself, know anything about. If “Shareholder” thinks lam lying he had better come up to the Springs see for himself, and then tell me so. Ido not as a rule take notice of letters sent to me under “anom de plume,” and if “Shareholder" can prove what he asserts I must put him down as no man at all, or he otherwise would have boldly written to the Press, instead of to myself, and have signed his name as I do. —lam, etc., Frank Weaver. [We may state that from reliable information we learn that the pipes are so far perfect.—Ei>. E. S.]
