SAYS CHARGES
MADE UNTRUE
PRESIDENT WHITTEMORE OF
MERGER GIVES OUT STATE
MENT IN RENO

RENO, Feb. o. = c. o. White
more of Los Angeles, president of the
Goldfield Merger Mines company
and vice president and general coun-
sci of the Las Vegas & Tonapah
railroad, who is. now in this city on
railroad business, gave out a state
ment bearing upon the Merger re-
ownership litigation last night when
his attention was called to an inter-
view with Frederick Bausman Of
Seattle, attorney for Mrs. Lucy
Ames, the petitioner in the action,
published in last Saturdays issue of
the Goldfield Tribune.
In the interview Attorney Baus-
man charged that Mr.. Whittemore
made false representations when he
obtained from John Erikson and as
sociates in Seattle in 1911 control of
the Merger stock. Mr.. Whittemore
declared that such charges against
himself or ]. Ross Clark are unwar-
ranted and untrue. Continuing, Mr..
Whittemore said:
anyone who is interested in
Goldfield should not get the impress
sion that this litigation means the
end of Goldfeld. We are not going
to permit any ~disgruntled woman
stakeholder or the men who are hid
ing behind her skirts to destroy the
prosperous condition that resulted
from three years of development
work.
'It is my advice to all investors in
Goldfeld stocks and properties to
hold on. This condition is simply
| temporary, and it is my opinion that
the receivership of the GOldfield
Merger Mines company will be quick
lv disposed of after the facts have
been presented to an impartial court.
This will be done as soon as posi-
BILE. 1 have no intention of dis
cussing the merits of the case out
of court, but l would advise that no
credence be placed in the rumors OF
shut-downs and the destruction OF
mining property. The men inter-
ested have too much good sense and
Judgment to allow any such conse-
quence to follow litigation of this
kind. AS soon as the receivership
has been disposed of, I believe con-
idence will be quickly restored and
the era of prosperity that was just
beginning to be enjoyed in Goldfield
will return in full.
1.-The controversy brought about
by the filing of the suit of Lucy l..
Ames in the United States district
court of Seattle arises over the dis
satisfaction of minority stockholders
with the sale of the Velvet claim to
the Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany.
"The sale of the Velvet claim was
made only after thorough and care
full consideration. 1t was made in
the prescribed n and will be
confirmed without doubt. 1t must
be kept in mind that the temporary
receiver, Carl Johansen of Seattle,
was appointed when the defendant
had had not chance to be heard. and
I am satisfied that as o as the
facts are before the court the re-
ceivership will be disposed Of"

CHICAGO MAN VISITS
CARRARA QOARR|ES

t. X. Webster of Chicago, presi-
dent of the Webster Electric COM
nanv. the Webster Engineering COM
many and the Pfanstiel Electric COM
many. visited Carrara during the
past week on a trip of Inspection 10
the quarries.
After an extensive investigation,
the Obelisk correspondent MT.
Webster for an interview on what ne
had seen and the way in which Car
rara IMPRESSED him. Mr.. Websters
interview follows:
''Carrara lies in what an fastener
would call a plain, but 1t looks
like a speck on the horizon. Your
Mains out here are considerably
large than those we ordinarily have
in the east. We came out TO see
the mountains of marble, which we
had been told formed the back
ground of Carrara's setting, and the
reason for Carrara's being, and we
were not disappointed. Out of the
plain. rising some 1000 feet into the
air. doomed this mountain of marble,
showing in the sunlight the varied
hues of the rainbow.
1.-THE thing that impresses one
after seeing these mountains is the
greatness of nature and the little
ness of mans achievements. Al
though $4,000 tons of marble have
been taken from the quarry cuts,
the dumps show like a speck on a
pane of glass.
"We were greatly interested in
the varied formations here, the diff
ferent colored marbles lying side by
side. the pure white, white and gold,
and grey. How nature ever COM
pounded these stratas of colors with
out mixing them is a mystery to me.
Commercially speaking, one of
the great advantages of the quarries
seems to be climatic environment.
This enterprise is different from
many others, in that 1t has to tight
but one phase Of nature; that is. to
take from nature her product with
out fighting natural handicaps of To-
cation or climate. The climate itself
always works for them. 1t is mild
and dry and in~vigorating and men
a put in their eight-hour shift
without difficulty and accomplish
consistently.
"To have started out On this en-
~terprise without power or water
would have discouraged most men.
but our friend, P. v. Perkins, seems
to have possessed a surplus OF the
qualities of courage and patience,
and now that both water and power
are at hand, the enterprise looks en-
tirely feasible, and, in fact, offers
great opportunities for a very sue
cessful enterprise

rington. The proposed amendment

in the typographical union. The bill
was referred to the committee on
printing.
If Senator Arnold's bill amending
the vagrancy law, passed in the SEN
ate yesterday. becomes a law it will

Tuesday and referred to the COM
mittee on agriculture. Coming out
of committee in the morning with a
favorable report, it took its place
on general file and was passed in the
afternoon.

bill and no amendments were Of
fered. Waits, Geraghty, Frappo and

ported the measure. 1t is said that

duced in the senate by the ways and
means committee and passed there

latter attempting to make it the
subject of a social order for a date
one week after the sine die adjourn
ment. While chief opposition In
the house came from the democrats,
many old-line republicans voted
against it and the bill was killed by
a big majority.

STEELE
|MPERSONATED
FORMER GOLDFTELD NEWSPA-
PER WOMAN IMPOSED ON
IN DENVER

In a recent issue of the San Fran
cisco Call the following appeared:
Rufus Steele, author and newspa-
per man of San Francisco, is consult
ing his attorney today yer his i'm
~personation by another writer in
Denver. In other words, Steele has
a double, but the identity of that
double is a deep mystery.
The impersonation has come to
light through a Denver publication
called Sunlight and is edited by
Jack Boyle, former San Francisco
newspaper
Steele's double is announcing him.
self in Sunlight as the genuine Rufus
Steele, former newspaper editor of
San Francisco and contributor to the
Saturday Evening Post, Sunset Mag
azine and other periodicals.
In a current issue of the Denver
magazine announcement is made that
Rufus Steele will tell the true story
of the Colorado coal strike in the
next issue.
Mrs. Flavia Gaines Leitch, a Dem
yer newspaper woman, who is man
ager of Sunlight, says she has been
imposed upon by Steele's double in
Denver. In fact, she is inclined
that the Denver Rufus Steele is not
a writer at all, but pays others to
write what appears under his stolen
cognomen.
Mrs. Leitch acquired her newspa-
per experience in Goldfield on the
old Daily News, where she handled
the society news. She is we'll con-
nected socially with the best fami-
lies of the south, being one of the
Gaines who founded Gainesville, Ga.
Her husband was attracted to this
section during the boom of 1906,
when he organized several leasing
companies, but was only partially
successful. Then he entered the en-
ployment of the Consolidated and
Mrs. Leitch took up newspaper work
when the News was established. Her
removal to Denver was due to a pub
lie spirited movement among Cold
field people organized by Mrs. John
C. Martin. A little daughter suffer-
ing from hip trouble was pronounced
incurable when Mrs. Martin succeed
ed in interesting one of the most
eminent o~rthopedic surgeons of Den
yer, who had treated her own boy,
with the result that the surgeon
stated he could effect a cure in the
curse of two years. A benefit was
arranged for the child and the sum
of $3.50 realized, George Wingfeld
sending in his check for $3.50. Mrs.
Leitch on reaching Denver took up
newspaper work as her regular en-
ployment and made a great success
on the Evening Post Of that city as
one of the star writer's. When they
came to Goldfield the Leitches built
one of the first bungalows on Sundog
at the corner of Myers, which they
occupied until 1908.

LOCAL SAMPLER
IS AGAIN ACTIVE
PLANT REOPENED AFTER SHUT
DOWN OF APPROXIMATELY
TWO YEARS

After a c~lose-down of approx
mately two years, the local or Co
lumbia sampler of the Western Ore
Purchasing company was again
placed in commission yesterday.
Frank M. Manson of Reno, general
manager of the company, arrived in
camp yesterday morning and was
present when the machinery was SCI

months ago of the management to

modelled and made automatic

men under the old arrangement OF
unloading and reloading cars by
hand. The plant is now capable OF
handling $50 tons of ore in twenty
four hours.
