WILDERMAN REPLIES.
He Sends a Communication From Ne
vada City Explaining His Re-
cent Operations.

G. w. Wilderman and 2. j. Ayhens first
and second presidents, respectively,
of the Worlds Christian Cooperative So
ciety, make the following joint-written
statement, from Nevada City, Cal, relative
to an article which appeared in THE CALL
of April r. under the heading &c. w.
Wilderman's Deal":
G. w. Wilderman came to Nevada City Feb
ruary 8 TO expert mining claim purportlng
to be owned by John and ]. r. Tilton of San
Francisco. On arriving at Nevada City e. w.
Wildermau called at the County Recorder S
office and learned that both properties had
been sold for the taxes and bought in by the
State.
Upon further investigation they learned of q
mine superintendent, who had superin tended
the last work done on the mine seven years
since, that both properties were forfeited to the
United States Government and were open to
location.
Consequently G. W. W1lderman went out
with two other men as witnesses and located
both claims for said Worlds Christian Co
operative Society and sampled the ore of the
same. He made nine tests of the ore ana failed
to find color of gold.
Wilderman also contracted a deed in
escrow for valuable gravel mine near Ne
vada City; consideration, $12 600. Paid
$500 on same in stock OF the corporation, the
balance OF the payment 10 be made from 10
per cent of the gross earnings of the output OF
the gravel mine. The deed of escrow was
placed in the Nevada City Bank. Wilderman,
knOWlHS Jne present directors were WnOIly
insolvent and inexperienced in mining, and
three of the directors being women, and the
directors having already voted and advertised
to move the general office OF the corporation to
Nevada City, on March so, requested five OF
their mum Der in San Francisco 70 resign and
elect five competent and experienced men in
Nevada City in their stead. This they refused
TO do Consequently G. w. WildSman rendered
his resignation president and director and
organized corporation of Nevada City and
Grass Valley miners and mining superin tend
ents, styled 1.-The Peoples Cooperative Invest
ment Company"
We claim no property with the aforesaid
corporation here, for we have no connection
with it in name or property: and as to the
deed here in escrow the owners want it re-
turned to them or complied with.
If the San Francisco corporation would only
| attend to its legal business and had any
money to do so it would be much better for
them. They are only making laughing-stock
of said corporation.
Vice-President P. ]. Ayhens came up to Ne
vada City, paying his own expenses, to inves-
tigate on the same line as they propose to
have Attorney Collier do. He found every
thing honest and legitimate so far as President
Wilderman was concerned.
The statement as to Tilton representing the
Cleveland mine as being worth $3, 900, coo is
q wild assertion. The property has been the
laughing-stock of this county for seven years

What Ii Depended On.

One day Tom Logan, an Oregon lawyer
and an inveterate wag, was arguing q case
before Chief Justice Greene of the Supreme
Court of what was then the Territory of
Washington. says the Northwest Maga-
zine. Opposed to him was a backwoods
lawyer named Browne. Logan continu-
ally referred to the counsel on the other
side as if his name were spelled "Browny."
to the evident annoyance OF that gentle
man. AT last the Judge interfered, re-
marking:
"Mr. Logan, this gentleman's name is
spelled Brownie, and is pronounced
Browne. not Browny. Now, my name is
spelled Greene, but you would not pro-
nounce it Greeny, woulc you?"
That" replied Logan, gravely, but
with merry twinkle in his eye, depends
entirely on how your Honor decides this
case"

There can be no reason, however
why the Government organs should
go out OF their way to incite the po-
lice and the Executive Council
against The INDEPENDENT. This pa
per has the best interests of Hawaii
at heart, and it will at all times
stand up for the Hawaiian people
as long as they stand up for their
independence and rights. The
Bulletin say that we are "hat-footed
but sometimes inconsiderate" in our
estimation of the conditions here.
If our contemporary knew the mis-
cry the poor have suffered since the
overthrow of the monarchy it would
hardly call our plain language Sin
considerate."

II he now should be allowed to go
away once more, with boots OF large
size and paid for, he may again fall
into the hands of the Boston
philistines and this time return
without any boots at all. For that
reason we are trying to prevent him
from showing his gigantic financial
abilities again and take chances of
making another tumbling act.

Government under whose sovereign
ty he lives. The one idea that domi-
mates the lives of these Indians is to
avoid their greatest enemy, the
Christians. These they consider far
more dangerous than fire, food, ALI
gators, or wild beasts, and every
step that they take has one object
in view-to make their simple homes
so inaccessible that civilized man
can never approach them. From
the times Of the early conquerors to
the present day so many crimes have
been committed under the cloak OF
religion and civilization, so many
traditions of robbery and bloodshed
have been handed down from father
to son, that it will require centuries
of kind ire atment and fair dealing
before the Guarauno will be content
to live within the sound of the bell.'

STILL "HoLLARING."

This mornings Advertiser is still
clamoring for our scalps and The
INDEPENDENT, it's writers, readers and
hackers are called socialists and
anarchists. We are somewhat sur
prised at the sweeping assertions of
the Advertiser. We cannot imagine
why our opposition to the refunding
bill should be a ground on stigmatiz-
ing US in the manner referred to. If we
represent anything, it is capitalists,
not anarchists or socialists.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-27

No one can tell, perhaps, how we
would fare to-day il the legitimate
Government OF Hawaii had been left
intact. One thing is sure that all
people = merchants, workingmen,
mechanics and charge the
revolutionists with the change Of
business now causing disaster and
distress to the sons and daughters
OF the soil. and they are not alone
in their complaints. Every store
keeper and merchant will admit that
the receipts during the past year
ending July 1st was 25 percent less
than any year previous.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-27

The reason is easily found. The
hireling who shouldered a gun gets
job, pockets every dollar coming
to him from the treasury and either
sends it or carries it abroad. He
doesn't eat except, perhaps, at the
expense OF the taxpayers at the
palace. He doesn't drink, smoke or
indulge in other, pleasantries; but
he draws his pay regularly and hang
on to it for an eventually "chilly"
day. No one blames the man. He
would be fool to refuse what is
offered him. The Government which
has caused and now continues this
state of affairs is blamed and criti-
cised in unmistakable terms by all
thinking men who suffered under
the changed conditions.

however by any ill-feeling towards

for hes welfare entertained by some
of his friends, who have probably
been here q score of years longer
than he has, which made us pen our

introduced to your notice by us,
we scarcely anticipated the sue
cess that has followed its intro
duction.
We felt assured, most un-
doubtedly, that the public trials
by ladies of repute, had attract
ed the attention of economical
housewives and the friends of
pure and perfect cooking through
an odorless burner, with a maxi
mum of heat and a minimum
Of danger.
We did not expect, however,
that our stock would have been
sold out so soon in the view of
the competition of business
rivals, but that is the fact.
But merit speaks for itself,
and people must have clean food,
irrespective of religious and
political debates. Fortunately
for you--to us it is almost
matter Of indifference-our prin-
cipals have sent us just what
you want.
We can now offer you just
what you require, No. 106 with
the oven arrangement for $25;
or there is No. 105, including
the oven for $22.50. These are
perfect stoves. There is ten
pounds difference in the weight,
the one being 140 lbs, and the
other 130lbs., but for the" Cooking
made easy" there is very little
choice between them except in
details of neatness, convenience
aud establishment.
1t is well to remember that
there are three disiderata in
these stoves, a pure blue odorless
flame, perfect safety and the use
of the ordinary kerosene oil.
We can add to these the clean
illness of the stove and the small
amount of labor required to
keep it in perfect order.
There are two little incidents
attached to these stoves that
will attract the attention of
domestic cooks, and one is the
"New Process" toaster. Even if
you don't posses one of our stoves
it will be found extremely useful
to toast or broil, The other is
the "New Process" Ventilated
broiler, which retains all the
juices in the meat and will
change tough steak or outlet
into tender one without the
hatchet or the rolling pin.
Call and examine these things
for yourself. Perhaps, we have
other matters that we can whis-
per to you about.
