 INTO SOCIALIST
 GOLD MINING O.
Wiltshire Promoted It and Sold His Stock To Sinclair, Lon don Lady Warwick and 0therS-Fight On Now.

Gaylord Wiltshire, the Socialist lead CT and editor, and some wicked curb brokers who don't believe in the Brotherhood of Man" have been wag ing war over the Bishop Creek Gold company. In September 1906, number of his magazine Wiltshire announced that he had gained control of the worlds greatest gold mine. and his sOCialis subscribers have been buying stock ever since.
 Wiltshire increased the capial stock from $5,OOO.OOO to $25.00O,COO, and al the Drsent time two diamond drills are boring inch and a half holes in the ground out in InyO county, California. In his annual report to the stoCkhOld- CTS on Dec 10 last President Wiltshire said:
 We should be able 10 make a profit of at least S400,0O0 a month, or 5000 ,0O0 a year. or over 50 per cent on the par value of stock isued."
 Wiltshire got about $l0,0O0,0OO stock for promotion. it is said by the wicked curb broker. He has been selling t.4 to his "cOmrades' in the Socialist army. He explained in his magazine tha, it is his own stock and not treas UT stock he is selling. ,"If you buy il it is because you have faith in me. he wrote to his com .ades. T shall put the money away ar spend it in financing the mine. If you want yoUr money back you can have it. ] could nor make this offer if it Wa, treasury stock that was sold
 Gnln Sinclair. Jack London. Lady Warwick and 5000 or 5000 other So- Cialists of lesser prominence all over the world became stockholders. It is said that SS00oOO was put out. It was bought through faith in Wiltshire, and here is where he wicked curb brokers saw their Opportunity. There Was a hustle to get the name of So cialistS with money and the curb bro kers began circulating them
 Wiltshire first scld stock at $l.oO a Sh"~C raised thp Drica 10 $2.-u. then to S3GO and finally 70 :Ar" Wh2n- ,-.- .ho y,.oEo7 cv~N h,oi. ,rs found s.ca-hulder who was Sht'-v tl.-v ought him out and sold his holdings to some "comrade" whose faih in Wiltshire was like a rock. When Wilshire's price Was $4O0 some Of the brokers were buying and selling around$1 %. This annoyed Wiltshire so that he withdrew all the treasury stock from the market and announced that he would sell no more of his personal holdings.
 Fred R. Jones, one of the stOckhOld CTS. wanted to see the transfer books. He told a newspaper representative that his right was denied him at the office of Wilshire'S magazine and of the gold company. Nc. 200 William street Mir. Jones said he had instruct ed his lawyer. Charles R. Bradbury, to begin suit to compel the office of the gold company to obey the incOTpOra ton laws of the state
 MT. Wiltshire left for British Guiana last Saturday to look over another gold mine he has there
 W. H. LeffingweIl, his representa- tive. told World reparter that Jone- was one of the wicked curb brokers" "
 All the money Mir. Wiltshire has received for the sale of his stock" :" said L4effingwell, has been invested in government bonds. He will buy treas ury stock with it as fast as money is needed at the mine. Last year S9S,0O0 was spent. Machinery to the value of $10O,O ,OO0 has been ordered and is now on the way out there This company and it's plans can not be judged by the ordinary standards of mining finance. The investors have faith in MT. Will share. It is his personal word they ac- cept as their security.
 These wicked curb brokers would like to bear the stock. I think they are short about 10000 shares. and there is no more for sale"
 A letter from an investor in a small Illinois town that was received by a curb broken who tried to buy his holdings concludes as follows:
 Under no circumstances would let go as long as Wiltshire is in it.
 T have just rturned home via the tie and boxcar route from Arkansas and other states in search of employ mcnt. Trusting that no workingmen will be forced to let go, remain,-' N. Y World.
