EXAMINATIONS WILL BE MADE.
Concerns Organized at Iowa Falls RAJ
mored to be in Trouble, But Nothing
Definite Has Been Given Out = The
Directors Will Hold Meeting Soon.
pecial to Times-Republican.

| Special to Times-Republican.
| Iowa Falls, Sept. 23.-The past few
days several ugly rumors have gained
currency here, and having spread to
remote portions of the state, it is but
just to all parties concerned that pub
lie criticism of individuals as we'll as
the corporations involved should be
withheld until ar investigation can be
made by those interested and a state
ment given the public. Such an ex-
animation and statement will undoubt-
eddy disprove many Of the reports that
have gained currency thru the inability
Of any one to CLEAN any facts upon
which to base an opinion as to the true
condition Of affairs. Two mining COM
panies organized here for the purpose
OF conducting mining operations by
means of dredge on the Eraser river
In British Columbia appear to be the
subjects of public discussion. A meet
ing of the board Of directors Of one
OF these companies has been called for
tomorrow when it is thought the pub
lie will be advised and some tangible
evidence will he given upon which to
base a fair statement to those inter
ested in a financial way. The major
ity Of the board Of the other company
are in British Columbia and it may be
several days before a meeting can be
arranged, but it is the expression of
those most directly interested that
meeting will be held as soon as pos
sible and that a statement will be Civ
en- the public as soon as the present
condition Of affairs can be ascertained
by an investigation. Many of the ru-
mors of the past few days lack the
stamp Of fact and are generally dis
credited. The inability of even those
most directly interested to give any in
formation regarding the condition of the
companies is regarded as the best evil
dence Of discounting the many reports
and rumors until such time as the true
facts can be learned and opinions for
med that will not do any one an in
justice. Many Iowa people hold stock
in these companies, and the press Is
assured true statement of the facts
as soon as the directors can ascertain
them for themselves.
