Has l Limited Ore Reserves in ' Ihe Property. . - I) IS DOING GOOD -WORK J Pours Hot Shot Into Ranks U of Market-Riggers and !' , Politicians. , j Goorco Wlnpfleld. president oi the old field ConFolldatd company, has !-' !-' med a statement to correct some reports 1 1 that havs been froinsr the rounds In re- . cent weeks, report inspired, rlthout I doubt, by the fact that the company Is j meeting with reduced earnings despite i ' record tonnages handled In the big mill, and dividend reductions as a. consequence. Mr. "VVlnKlleld's na.temcnt Is addressed Hi Uio editor of the G-oldfleld Tribune, and here follows In full; It has been called tn my attention lliat rumors are bolnir sent out of G-ohllleld to tho effect that there is I ' only a fen months' ore remaining in the Goldfleld Consolidated and that ; the funds of tho Atlanta. Mi nine com pany are not being- ufcd for the bene-1 bene-1 , fit of tho shareholders. All of theao reports are in their entirety falsehoods false-hoods of the worst type and are bc-in? bc-in? In.ll-;utcd hy murkct-riescrs aJid i political hypocrites. Both of these properties aro hems handled for tho benefit of the share-i share-i holders and the management will not. 1 under any circumstances, sacrifice any I of the companv interests for those f of an afrsre'r-itlon of disgruntled 1 poHtlrlans. market fakirs and so- rsJlrd boosters. I' Thcfc sort of stories arc always j started around olrctlon time and they i j could not stand allowing anything to L pass without trying to fitlr up somo-t somo-t thine whereby they could make the .' . IntcrcKti I represent und myself un- popular, r am today, and all the K t!m trying my best to keep Gold-n-Id going nnd m furnishing most rf tho funds with which to flo it. Ml that I ask Ik the support of the pooplo there and for them to llfrten to me and consult with me concern-i concern-i 'ng matters of mutual Interest Instead of listening to a lot of disgruntled demagogues who fill them up with unlnithr. Position of Bank. x I nlao understand that the John Cook Co. hank Is getting Its nf Mie blRine for the decline I of the market. The bank Is the niFtodlan of the peopled money, its first aim I to protect thi depositors. Its second aim Is to loan, money on the proprr security and margin, and when that margin Is too low for the bank s safety, then to call the loans eg.ardlcss of the question as io who the borrower or how much they mav complain. The Institution Is not bvhg run as ?. concern that will allow al-low anv "borrower to get what he pleascTand do a. he pclases. but on the other hand is ready and willing to accommodate ItK customers as long aa thev. will do business In a businesslike manner, furnishing tho proper security for amounts loaned, but when they will not do thlH wo tan do nothing for them. Out of the fhe banko Goldfield has had, three of them have failed by letting tho niarkct-rlggern uso them to their personal per-sonal advajitag. and I do not pro-poso pro-poso for an Instant to lot them use I me for such purpose. Jf they ex- ' pect to be carried on their loans without proper security, then they j. will be disappointed. Putting Up Money. ?' The plans for th development of th Atlanta have not been changed and th funds will he used in the most tcononilral manner, but It would utterlv foolloh to throw thnm away Imply to say that Micro la work going" on. ! All that T ask Is tnc moral support r the people and tho proper work will he done to develop tho proper-5 proper-5 tics In which I am Interested, but I A ertainly refure to be made tho victim I" of thse splf-tormed "boosters" whon i 1 am "furnishing tho funds to do prac- r tlrally all of the work that 1h he ft Ins performed In the district and Jf which furnishes fond for some who S lie down and bark the louder. |
