GOLD ROBBERIES.
A HEAVY INDICTMENT.
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. PERTH, July 25. (Received July 25, at 10.7 a.m.) The detective detailed to inquire into allegations that wholesale robberies of gold were going on at Kalgoorlie states that his investigations prove that hundreds of thousands of ounces were stolen annually; that there were men at Kalgoorlie with enormous banking accounts who lived in the lap of luxury solely by means of stolen gold, and that there were others who held dummy leases, yet banked hundreds of ounces of gold which never came from such leases, but were obtained in an illegal manner.
Warden. Dowley Iks also presented a report, in which he says he dees not think much gold is stolen, an opinion in which he is backed up by a number of mine managers.
