oftthe new Incorporation, the Arr

that proposes to build a line from
Mesa, 7 miles east OF Phoenix, TO

cess to the great smelter at Hayden

Possibly the greatest degree Of
Importance that attaches to the

Russia HOardS Gold;
Nav Float Loan Here

Reports printed during the last few
weeks th-t $52 100000 Russian gold had
arrived at Vancouver on Japanese
cruiser and would ultimately reach New
York via Ottawa were branded as false
yesterday by Gregory Wilenkin, finan-
ciai agent i'm this country of the Rus
sian government.
MY government has sent no gold TO
this country. and is not expecting TO
send any" said Mr. Wilenkin. Russia
has exported no gold since the begin
ming Of the war except about S9.OOO,OOO,
which was RENTED to London in the
fall Of 1911. IT is true that We have an
enormous store of gold IN Petrograd,
but the policy Of the government is to
add 10 1T rather than diminish it,"
Financial conditions in the Russian
capital according to Mr.. Wilenkin, are
excellent. The people he said. well
coined the war as deliverance from
Prussian influence in commercial af-
fairs and the hampering conditions of
the commercial treaty signed with Ger
many ten years ago.
Negotiations for the establishment OF
Russian credits here were said yester-
day TO be progressing satisfactorily.
There are two loans under discussion,
one an acceptance credit of from $780,
100000 to S60.000.000 and the other a

The discrepancy in the number o.
