KETTLE-CURLEW - IMPORTANT.
VICIOUS ATTACK REBUKED.

! II Is astonishing to notice to what
! lengths newspaper misrepresentation
IS sometimes carried. In February
( ,ase weekly paper, The Miner" by
PUBIC Washington, printed q vicious
( article attacking a reputable mining
company doing business in the city.
( IN the article there was brief refer
{ ence TO this corporation to the effect
{ that we were a swindling concern. We
( immediately wrote the publisher pro-
testing against his conduct and ask
) ing MIN TO investigate for himself
) instead OF this he replied IN a vicious
} attack that was false and ignorant;
} that Is, maliciously false and charac-
J IeIized by q total ignorance Of our
} plans and business methods
FOLLOWING this up, on March 10 the
I same paper again attacked this COM
7 pany, declaring we had no title to the
( ~ mines. that there were
( mo sucn mines In existence. and that
( we We're lot Of freebooters. swim
J dlers, etc.
( Copies of the paper marked with a
: Ddue pencil were sent to all the news
the hope that they would copy the
s article These papers, so far as we
know, with one exception, sent trust
worthy reporters to these offices, and
upon investigation found that the at
tack was vicious and utterly false
I hence, none OF the papers here re-
J produced the stuff. except that on
I March Is a reputable weekly paper
referred to 1T In It's columns and made
I some comments that were unfair to
US Among others, there was the In
( sLluauon that we were sailing under
TWO names. This latter was adding
insult to injury. for there Is a mining
company doing business in this city
under a corporate name so similar to
ours that we have protested against
IT, IN the belief that we are suffering
from it, We would gladly put a stop

weekly referred to sent competent
he would not have published the arti-
Gle he did, for we learn that he is~&a

and he would have found In our COM
pany and It's propositions as clean and
honest corporation in all things as
there Is In the state Of Minnesota. We

have right to seek protection from
the laws that give our company legal
existence.

NOW as to the Republic Miner, its
attacks are purely malicious and with
out shadow of foundation in truth.
At our meeting of shareholders in the
our business will be thoroughly in
Vestigated from top to bottom by
those who have invested their money
with US, and they will know for them
selves that we have as clean and safe
business as can possibly be con-
Quoted. Moreover, they will elect
three directors of their own choosing,
by by seer secret 1b ballot to continue the
per IN which to tell the public why
the Republic Miner is attacking US,
but the Court records will very soon
make that painfully plain to the ed
tempt to blackmail we expect to fully
demonstrate.
On March 20 we instructed our at
torney to commence proceedings
against the Republic Miner in the
United States courts; and he is now
preparing the complaint, which will be
filed In day or two, We shall ask
for an injunction to restrain, rather
we a verdict 1t would probably yield
nothing in the way of reparation for
the damage done, and because 1t will
give us an opportunity to demonstrate
In court, as we will be compelled to
! do to reach the end sought that our
business methods, plans and purposes
are honest and straightforward, which
they are beyond all question.
