Ak AND TAG eRlNDsToNE


There has come to our notice an
article published In the New YORK
Curb. an alleged mining journal pup
lished in New York, wherein that pa
per Is dreaming dreams and seeing
visions concerning the late proposed
consolidation of the Consolidated II
oche. Prince Con. and Nevada utah
interests.
The article seemssto be anything but
official. and whoever inspired the
same. leads one to believe that NIL
nor and personal interests are 10
be served by Its publication rather
than the welfare OF the companies
concerned, or the welfare of the
camp.
Ihtimtaions are made that some
body; Learnard. Woolley, or the Ne
vada Utah company are talking OF
bringing action against the Godbe
interests with view OF
soaring. the CODES into a compro-
mise. thus making 1t possible for
Mr.. Woolley and associates to pull
down large commission were the
deal contaminated.
BY those who know Mr.. Woolley
best this accusation is not taken SER
iously; but for the information OF
those who may be influenced in the
least by such stuff and for the en-
lightenment of the New York Curb.
this paper wants to say, and to say
1t emphatically as well as advised
ly, that Mr.. Woolley's first intelli-
gence of large commission" which
was to have come to him and his
associates by the closing of the deal
be received from the article referred
to; also, that the statement is not
only malicious, but absolutely without
stability.
Mr.. Woolley assures the stockhold
ers in the Nevada Utah, emphatical
ly, that no commissions were hoped
for: neither would any have beer
made had the deal gone through; also
the deal was being made strictly
for the benefit of the Nevada Utah
stockholders. The article further stat
es:
"If Learnard and Woolley are looki
Ing for lawsuits, the Nevada Utah
Co.. would much rather have them
step out OF the company and go some
where else" etc.
Since when, may we ask, was The
New York Curb elected as the mouth

we can see nothing short of maliciou
intent or gross ignorance on tn,
part OF its writer, and that this fac
may be brought home clearly to ou
readers, we reproduce clipping from
the Salt Lake Tribune Of Nov. |
1910.
Under the caption "Cole-Ryan No
Back OF The Phoebe Deal" the Trib
une says: -

siderable speculation in regard to tn,
identity of the interests behind Mr.
Woolley IN this new deal on the Ne
vada Utah,and when asked in REGARD
to this yesterday, Mr. Woolley said
