Owners Side
OF GOIdfiGId Row

In the following statement issued
by the Mine Owners Association OF
Goldheld, the reasons for asking for
Federal aid and of declaring Goldfeld
an open camp are given.
ITO the Public
The camp of Goldheld has been in
existence a little over three years. It's
rich mines commenced to produce
about the close of the labor troubles in
Colorado and the arrest of Meyer and
Haywood of the Western Federation Of
Miners and their taking to Idaho. AS
a result. the deported Colorado miners
and their 'sympathizers from Idaho
Montana and other points crowded into
the new camp. "A strong local union
of the Western Federation was soon
formed and it commenced to rule the
little camp with an iron hand.
AS the marvellous discoveries of the
past two years were made, the camp
BECAME the Mecca of all the adven-
turous spirits of the west and had the
usual phenomenal growth of a pros
porous mining camp. The Miners
| Union continued to rule the camp by
the methods of despotism of the west
ern Federation of Miners now so well
! known to the world
The owners and operators of the
camp have endeavored to live in peace
and harmony with the union to the
| present time, have granted the highest
rate of wages paid in the world, con-
coded most unreasonable demands as to
| the methods of work. and even con-
sented that their mines might be ron
bed of their richest ore rather than
come to an open rupture But the
| continuous strikes the repeated OUT
RACES against individual rights, the
| Punishment from the camp of men
| DESTROYS of investing in it's mines, the
open looting of every mine carrying
| high grade ore have at last become so
unbearable that we must either close
our mines. hand them over to the
! union, or make desperate effort to
gain the right to work them as we
please. We have chosen the latter
alternative and propose to make one
final struggle for the right to manage
our own property.
we wish to call attention to the
following salient facts in support OF
/ the truth of the above general state.
ments:
"First-From the beginning of the
camp certain general classes of Ameri-
can citizens have been denied the right
to come to, invest in or reside in Gold
| field This includes all Colorado, Idaho
or Montana capitalists or citizens who
have incurred the enmity of the West
ern Federation of Miners in those local
tiles. These men have been warned
not to come to the camp on the peril
! of their lives. One who dared to
brave these threats, Mr.. F. j. Campbell
of Denver. and part owner of the Vim.

gave only a $4,000 bond to cover these
100000 of securities, It alleged that
after giving the bond in May. 1905,
Bartnett came to Washington and on
demand received from a Washington
trust company $25O,OOO in bonds and
other papers and valuables worth $50
600, forming part of the Cotton estate.
1t is said that Bartnett took these with
him to California and that under an
order of the California court he was
directed to deposit them in the Cali
fornia Safe Deposit & Trust Company.
II is alleged in the petition that on
November 9 this trust company sus-
pended; two days later a demand was
made on the officials of the company
to exhibit the Cotton securities, but
they refused to give any information
about them. 1t is alleged further that
a bank examiner of California swOre
under oath that these securities were
not in the vault of the California Safe
Deposit & Trust Company and that
IAN the negotiable papers deposited
there by Bartnett had been removed
and were then in a safe deposit box
of the Atlantic Safe Deposit & Trust

ed further in the petition that the
same bank examiner had sworn that

GRAHAM
TROUBLE
PLIGHT OF THE SPLENDID SHIE
ERSKINE NJ. PHELPS A SUR.
PRISE

The news of the big American ship
Ersline NJ. Phelps putting into San
Francisco on December "a, in distress,
leaking seven days out from Seattle,
for Kahului, published in The Star
yesterday, has excited a great deal OF
speculation on the local waterfront
where the Phelps and her master are
well known, and details Of her trouble
are anXiously awaited 1t is supposed
that she must have encountered terri
fic weather The Phelps is a sister
ship to the American ship Arthur M.
Sewall, now listed as lost
To the admiring throngs Of visitors
who have seen the Phelps here and
elsewhere her holystone-scrubbed
decks and perfectly kept gear are sour
ces of continual comment Captain
and Mrs. r. G. Graham are always,
when in port, besieged by visitors.
Stripped of canvas the white ship
presents a wonderful array of gear
But aside from her wonderful lines
the vessels records, established
against the world, are marvellous. On
whatever course the Phelps has piled
she holds records for speed. hourly
daily and weekly.
Perhaps the Phelps proudest rec
ord, and one which has never been
equaed, was made when she sailed
from Norfolk to Honolulu, a distance
of $1,000 miles, in 81 days. Weather
conditions considered, this record, an
average of 155 miles a day, probably
will stand for years.
Great as that record is, the Phelps
established and now holds one from
Chile to Philadelphia, a distance OF
10000 miles, having transversed that
great stretch of deep in 80 days.
On a run from New York to Java
Head the Phelps averaged 1G2 1-2 miles
day for so days. The vessel has
| crossed the Indian Ocean distance
of $500 miles, in &c days
The best hours run ever covered by
the Phelps was II miles; the best day s
run 800 miles and the best weeks run
of six days 1875.
Following are the principal records
of the Phelps which entitle her to
claim superiority over the world OF
| sailing vessels.
