REFUTES ATTACK
ON GOLDF|ELD
Charles S. Wilkes Shows
Claims Are Based on Ac-
tual Production.
jealousy IN COLORADO
BIG THINGS PREDICTED FOR Po-
cAHoNTAs PROPERTY.

Charles S. Wilkes aud wife. formerly of
Salt Lake and now of Goldfield, are in the
city for Christmas. Like the other Salt
Lakers in Nevada, Mr.. Wilkes has pros
pered, and talks enthusiastically of his
new home.
Speaking of conditions at Goldfeld Mr..
Wilkes said that the famous gold camp
is more than holding its own. despite the
assaults made upon il by uninfOrmed rep
resentatives of eastern papers. Mr.. Wilkes
referred particularly TO an article which
appeared recently in the Denver Repub-
ican, in which an alleged leading min
ing expert" whose name was not given,
was quoted in general terms as saying
that the great mines in Goldfield were
simply salted prospects, and that the UNI
precedented boom which GOldfleld has en-
joyed during the past year would soon
fall flat. Commenting upon this article,
Mr.. Wilkes said:
Il can SEE no cause for such an assault
on the part of prominent Colorado news
paper except upon the ground that the
Coloradoans are jealous of Goldfield,
fearing that the fame of our camp will
1njure Cripple Creek. We are surprised
that paper with the reputation of the
Denver Republican would give space 10
such an article.
GoldfieId Production.
80 far as Goldfield production is con-
cerned. it is only necessary to state that
GOldfield alone, to say nothing of other
Nevada camps. has produced more gold
within the past twelve months than the
entire state of Colorado can boast of. This
is official and 1 have the figures 10
prove 1t.
LAS regards the alleged sailing of mines,
il is only necessary to state that the own
ers of the Hayes MOnette lease on the
Mohawk property will soon ship two car
loads of ore which have been sacked and
stored in the bank vaults, which will run
at least 100000 to the car More gold has
been taken out of the Hayes Monette lease
in a given space than any other mine in
the world has ever produced How is
that foI a sailed mine?
"Goldfield also has been given the
worst of it through reports sent out &c
the effect that there was an epidemic OF
so-ealIed black pneumonia in the camp
and that people We're dying daily by the
score. There has been absolutely nc
foundation upon which to base such re-
ports, the fact being that the death-ratG
In Goldfield is exceedingly low"
Pocahontas Property.
Mr. Wilkes is largely interested person
ally in the POcahontas Goldfield Mining
company of Goldfield which owHs out
right seventy-five acres of very valuable
ground in the famous gold camp. The
Poeahontas property lies to the west OF
the Mohawk, Jumbo, Atlanta. st. Ives
and eminent mining engineers have ex-
made these properties famous will also
be found in the Pocahontas. This predic-
ton has already been partially verified

NORTHERN PACIFIC Is
HEADING OFF ST. PAUL

Helena. Mont, Dec 23.-It is reported
that the Northern Pacific will soon be-
gin the grading of a cutoff which VIII
leave the main line at or near Miles CITY,
and. following a course directly west
ward. will strike the present road mol
far from Helena.
This construction will involve about so
miles of new track, but will shorten tne
distance between ST. Paul ana seattle
at least 40 miles.
1t will obviate the necessity of a double
track, which has been under contempla-
ton.
The invasion of its territory by the
coast extension of the chicago, MiiWau-
zee and St. Paul requires the building OF
the proposed line in order to protect 2
large traffic i'm Montana now enjoyed
and which otherwise would be secured py
the Milwaukee.

mentioned and the Pocahontas ground
MIR. Wilkes has purchased a seat On the
new exchange in Goldfield and upon his
return to the camp will combine mining
brokerage with his big warehouse, COM
mission and coal business. In conclusion
Mr. Wilkes said:
I'VE much appreciate the attitude of

pers towards Goldfield. They have all
treated us fairly and We feel that their
action has resulted in great good to the
state of Nevada.
