The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1907-08-24

As pointed out by The News some
weeks ago. the Chamber of Commerce
is trying to force incorporation upon
the people of Goldfeld in the interests
principally. OF one corporation. the
Clark railroad. and it's attorneys are
active in not only pushing incorpora-
tion, but In shaping up the measure as
Il passes its successive stages through
the Chamber of Commerce.
At first. . special committee was APP
pointed on corporation boundaries. and
the committed reported for a city Of -
square miles. The Chamber Of Com
merce. as represented by about a dozen
members. adopted the committees re-
port. But such q howl arose hat h
committee was forced to revise its plan
and draw In its lines; and finally IL
reported for a city Of IS qua miles.
Then the directors of the chamber OF
took II up. This directorate
Is composed largely Of Clark railroad in
terests. The directors determined to
take the matter out of the hands Of the
COMMITTEES. The boundaries. as proposed,
didn't suit the Clark people. 1t took
in too much of their road for taxation.
SO Thursday night the directors met
and o up the matter of boundaries.
although properly It was in the hands
Of the special committee. Director c. o.
whittemore. general counsel Of the
Clark road. and NJ. NJ. Detch. also q d.
rector. and special counsel for h Clark
road. were on hand. 1t was the arst

DIRECTING INCORPORATION

ing Mr.. whittemore had attended for
some time. also. President Brewer. who
appointed Mr.. whittemore a membe
of the directorate was also there. Mr..
whittemore thought that a city of large
boundaries was absurd" while only q
few weeks ago he favored taking in all
the outside towns. he now wanted the
smallest area possible. In fact Mr..
whittemore wanted less than a square
mile OF territory. He wante h town
confined within the old area as laid out
when a mineral patent was applied for.
This includes only the thickly populated
portions. M leaves out most OF the
trackage Of the Clark road. Mr.. White
more made the motion that such be the
boundaries. Senator Morehouse n Ar
thur Weber were the other two directors
present. and both protested. They saw
the 'nigger in the woodpile." and would
not accept the proposition. A vote was
taken. Attorneys whittemore and Detch
voted for the whittemore motion. and
Morehouse and Weber against. This
made a tie, and 1t was up to President
Brewer to cast the deciding vote. OF
course he voted with Whittemore and
Detch, and the committee will recon-
mend N area Of less than a square mile
to the meeting Of the Chamber OF Com
merce. next Thursday. But members
of the Chamber of Commerce who were
hoodwinked at the time of the appoint
ment Of the Clark road attorney to a
dictatorship in that body. are laying
for that report with a stuffed club. and
they won't do a thing to the Clark
TOAD programme and its ~retainers.

d. Mackenzie returned to Goldield
yesterday after an absence of six weeks,
during which he travelled several thou
sand miles in search of pleasure and
from business.
Mr.. Mackenzie left Goldfeld on July
IL, going direct to San Francisco and
thence to Seattle where he took a steam
er for skagway. going by the inside
route. From Skagway he Travelled over
the White Pass railroad to h Yukon.
thence by boat to Dawson. Mr. Macken-
zie spent several days inspecting the
placer mines around the Yukon capital.
He predicts an enormous production of
gold In that district during the present
year. He witnessed a cleanup from .
twenty hours run Of n dredge. that
netted $4,000. With the exception Of
this dredge, Mr.. Mackenzie says, all the
work in that section Is being done b y
the Guggenheims. In fact he thinks
the ~Guggenheims are trying to corral
everything in Alaska.
From Dawson, Mr.. Mackenzie went to
Fairbanks where he found conditions
practically the same as at Dawson. with
labor very scarce.
