"Gustave Whitehead of 241 Pine Street is again at work on his flying machine after a few weeks of enforced rest due to his inability to secure funds to perform certain experiments. Capital is now furnished by his brother, John Whitehead, until recently a resident of California. John is a successful prospector and has made a fortune in gold mining.

"Since Gustave Whitehead and Herman Linde haad their disagreement last Spring, after which Mr. Linde withdrew all support from Whitehead, the latter was in a quandary for a while. He did not have the funds necessary to continue his work, and as Linde considered himself victimized he closed up the machine shop which Whitehead had used.    

"After a few eeks, Whitehead's brother, who was then in the West, forwarded him funds to start anew. He rigged up a lathe and other machinery in a cabin in the rear of his home and a gasoline engine for power. John Whitehead then came to this city and is now here. The brothers are working to gether and are confident of participating in the contest for the $100,000 prize offered by the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition for the best dirgable balloon, airship of flying machine."
