Associa ted Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
KANSAS CITY. Mo, June pa local
paper prints the result OF careful exam
ination made by staff correspondent
sent to investigate the reported gold dis
coveries in Oklahoma. The many sem
sational stories of wild excitement in the
territory are positively denied.
The gold field at present consists OF q
large area CT country covered with claim
stakes and besides there are a few poor
farmers washing sand in home made
sluices. According to correspondent
the whole thing IN a nutshell IL this:
There is probably gold in the sand un-
derlylng the Boggy creek country but it
will take several assays to determine
whether it is worth taking out. 1t will
take experienced prospectors to deter
mine where the sand is and lots of
money to collect the gold from the sand.
The country may develop great gold
field in time but at present there IS moth
ing to get excited over.
Experienced miners pronounce the
formation a most peculiar one. The
area of sand is on the divide from which
flow Bocgy and Turkey creeks to the
north and Elk and Trail creeks to the
south. The deposit is in an area of tif-
teen miles east and west and about fifteen
miles north or south. Crossing its north
east corner and running IRON northwest
TO southeast are three reefs of quartz
about a mile apart. There may be gold
i'll it and there may not be.
There is also a bed of decomposed
quartz that is mostly magnetic iron. AS
says of several samples of sand taken ont
at varions points show gold possibly in
paying quantities, but if it is there in
sufficient quantities. money will be re-
quired to put in machinery and conden-
strs. The only way to work the sand
will be ON tables, as quartz tailings are
worked. The stories of thousands of peo-
pie being in the digeings are pure fabri-
ciatons. But comparatively few men are
there and several so-called camps and
many of these are so poor that they bare
ly exist. The country is very hard of ac-
cess. The scene of the find is 135 miles
west of Ell Reno over such difficult
road tnat more than fifty miles day can
not be made even with a fast team. The
correspondent charges that the stories OF
Oklohoma towns being depopulated and
thousands rushing to the diggings have
been originated BIZ men interested in
drawing outsiders with money into the
territory. The correspondent warns poor
men and laborers that the Boggy creek
country is good one for them to stay
away from. but at the same time he as
serts that experienced mining men with
money may find something there to in
terest them and repay them for making
the tedious journey.

A BlMETALLIC MEMORIAL
Signed by Bankers and r1ercliants In the Far

SiEneQ Dy DafKeTS ana tierCHaUtS III inc fdI
East
LONDON June. GA bimetallic me-
mortal has been signed by numbers OF
the leading bankers, merchants and man.
ufacturers doing business in the east.
1t first refers to the recent anti tallic
memorial in which it says pimetallIsm
is Justly described as q growing agita-
ton.
1t then proceeds to relate that instead
of the commercial supremacy of reat
Britain and the financial I ascendancy
OF London having been esta blished since
the change in the currency in 1916, it
was achieved before then. Moreover, up
to nearly sixty years alter 1916. the busi-
ness of the world was conducted under
the dominating influence OF the bimetal-
lie system. The experience of recent
years has shown that British commercial
prosperity during this period was due to
tho universal effect OF the bimetallic law
and not to the operation of our single
standard. With the Abandonment OF
bim etalllsm our immense advantages
Disappeared.
The experience of history. the teaching
of science and the conclusions OF au-
thority as expressed by the unanimous
report of the gold and silver commission,
unite in supporting the opinion that the
relative value of the metals could be
maintained under bimetalllsm. The re-
cent statements on behalf of the French
government. tie resolutions of the Ger
man reichstag and the state council of
the Prussian diet and the emphatic
declaration of the Unltd States in favor
of international bimetallism are proofs
of their desire to join Great Britain in "a
seriou, effort to accomplish this ead.
The memorial ooncliIes:
''In the presence Of evil which cannot
be denied we hope the government will
not suffer a hypotehtical danger to
special interests, or a prophetic but un-
supported assertion OF harm to industry
or com merce to deter them from q hearty
co-operation with the other powers in
such measures as seem desirable for Sc
curing Il fixed par of exchange for the two
etals and more suitable stan daru of
value than we now possess.
