THE CHANGE OF A LIFETIME IS AT HANOI WILL YOU OKASP IT 7 Our own agent is now In Alaslca securing our claims. * Our Company will be under the direct supervision of experienced men, and will leave this country in the very early spring, direct for the gold fields of the Klondike and AllMka.' While a certain number of men in each Company will devote their exclusive time to discovering and taking up mining claims and working them with the latest and most improved methods, we will make a great specialty of doing a general meroantile business. We shall take with us a ftook of goods of all classes and description that can be sold and used to advantage in a new mining countr>'. Experience of a great many years in Alaska, Colorado and Montana, has taught us practically just what is required, and there is almost as much money in selling merchandise to the miners and prospectors as there is in finding and washing gold. WE WILL CONTROL CUR OWN STEAMER AND OUR OWN BOATS AND PACK TRAIN. FOSTriTBS ARE MADE QUICXLT— fortunes are made in legitiir. \ : speculations. An opportunity of this kind has not presented itself since the California days of '49. Will you sit idle and see such chances pass you by, and will you be one of the people that say, " I had the opportunity, but I missed it ? " Better be the one person to say, " The opportunity was presented to me and I grasped it." You can come in on the ground floor— you can be one of the originators — be one among the first. A share of stock, its full face value, will be sold to you at the rate of $8.50 per share (non- assessable) ; if you can buy ten, so much the better — a hundred still better. We are offering the public the grandest enterprise and investment of the day ; anyone with a small amount of money has an opportunity to make a fortune in this gold and commercial expedition and can stay •comfortably at home. Our expedition will leave in March, arriving in the gold valley of Alaska in April. Everything that human ingenuity can devise or think of to crown our labor with success will be carried with us and done by our representatives. We shall almost at once commence the purchase of our supplies and our equipment, consequently you can become part of us and embrace this opportunity and make your own fortune, or at least an enormous prcfit, on a small investment. Ton must act quickly ; and the only way to act is to write us at onoe, stating how many shares of stock you want, inclosing currency, N. Y. exchange, or in a registered letter the amount of money to cover the payment of your stock at the rate of $2.50 per share (par value $io) ; and upon receipt of your letter and the money the stock will be at once returned to you, with full details, and you will be posted and kept informed from time to time of the progress of this Company ; and every month after the expedition has landed you will receive such dividends and profits as ycur stock is entitled to. Now, if you want to go to Alaska, a little further on we will make a proposition to you to join us, whereby you can become one of our party and be directly under our supervision and direction, or go with us and be independent and be on your own hook upon arrival ; or, should you desire to reap some of the benefits that cannot help but accrue, you can do so by remaining at home and becoming a member and a shareholder in our Company. You can have one share or a thousand shares ; no more than a thousand shares will be sold to any one person. We do not propose to have the shares invested in the hands of a few parties and then have the weaker ones and ourselves firozen out. OUR SYNDICATE IS CHARTERED FOR MUTUAL PROFIT AND PROTECTION. The gold is there— you stand fully as much chance as any other person. Act quickly — write at once. ADDRESS ALL COMMUNICATIONS AND MAKE ALL CHECKS AND MONEYS PAYABLE TO US. THE PHILADELPHIIi-ALASIU COMMERCIAL AND GOLD MINING SYNDICATE, MAIN OFFICE: 316 PHILADELPHIA BOURSE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Klondike Qold The Wonderful Tales Told by Returned Miners Have Been Collected and Sifted and Are Presented Here in Brief Form. All the men who have returned from , Klondike unite in saying that gold beyond the dreams of avarice is there. All have gold dust or nuggets— some more, some less —to show as the result of their labors. No one has returned empty handed. Many of the men who have come back from Klondike are residents of Seattle. Others are from San Francisco, from Los Angeles, or from other places along the coast. Most of them are from the North- Among the most fortunate of the miners is Clarence Berry, a farmer, of Fresno, Cal., who brought back seven sacks of dust and nuggets worth $155,000. He had been in the Yukon gold fields for three years, meeting with but little success. Last fall he returned home and was married. Determined to try his luck again, he went back to Alaska, and, hearing of the discovery of gold at Klondike, went there, and, as he says, "struck it rich." William Stanley, formerly a blacksmith in this city, went to Alaska two years ago, and was among those who returned on the "Portland." He had with him $115,000 worth of gold, found on Bonatiza Creek, about five miles above Dawson City. Henry Anderson, a wede, who is well known in Seattle, came back with a good supply of gold dust and $45,000 he had received for half his claim on the Klondike. Frank Keller, of Los Angeles, Cal., went to Alaska last year, and returned with $35,000 received for his claim. William Sloat, a former dry goods mer- chant of Lanimo, B. C, has $52,000, received for his claim. A fellow resident of Lanimo, named Wil- kenscn, sold his claim for $40,000. Jack Home, a professional pugilist of Tacoma, was among the few who might be called unlucky. He brought bark only $6,000 worth of dust, Frank Phiscator, of Baroda, Mich., has $96,000 worth of dust and nuggets. J. Kelly, of Tacoma, went to Alaska last year with his son. He returned on the " Portland " with $10,000 in gold, and his son is still at work on the claim, taking out more. Robert Krook brought back $14,000 in gold dust and $12,000 he received for his half interest in a claim. He has an interest in another claim, and intends to return after he has had rest and enjoyment. J. B. HoUinshead, after two years spent He in- which he has been offered $50,000. tends to return to work it himself. Con Stamatin returned with a third share of $33,000 worth of dust taken out in forty- five days' work. " 1 brought down just 1,000 ounces of dust and sold it to the smelting works," said Wil- liam Kulju. " I sold my claim for $25,000. When I went to Klondike last summer I had only a few dollars and a pack. Now I am going home to Finland, but I am coming back next year." John Marks was the possessor of $11,500 in dust. "There is plenty of gold in Alaska," he said, " more, 1 believe, than the most sanguine imagine, but it cannot be ob- tained without great effort and endurance. The first thing for a poor man to do when he reaches the country is to begin prospecting. As snow is from two to five feet deep pros- pecting is not easy. Snow must first be shoveled away, and then a fire built on the ground to melt the ice. As the ground thaws the shaft must be sunk until bed rock is reached. The average prospector has to sink a great many shafts before he reaches anything worth his while. If gold is found in sufficient quantities to pay for working, he may begin drifting from the shaft, and continue to do so as long as he finds enough gold to pay," Frederick Lendsseen returned with $13,000 worth of gold after two years spent in Alaska. " I have had considerable experi- ence in mining," he said, to-day, "and say without hesitation t. lat Alaska is the riches*, country I have ever seen. I have an interest in a claim near Dawson and am going back in the spring." Greg Stewart brought back $45,000 ?- ceived for his claim and a good cjuant'' ooo William Hayes, Irish-American 35.000 Dick McNulty, Irish-American 20,000 Jake Halterman, American 14,000 Johnson and Olson, Swedes 20,000 Neil McArthur, Scotchman 50,000 Charles Anderson, Swede 25,000 Joe Morris, Canadian ; 15,000 Hank Peterson, Swede 12,000 There are a great many more going out with from $3,000 to $10,000 that I do not know. This is probably the richest placer ever known in the world. They took it out so fast and eo much of it that they did not have time to weigh it with gold scales. They took steelyards and all the syrup cans were filled. KLONDIKE GOLD Amonnt Taken Out— Some of Thoae Who Made Strikes on the Klon- dike. To give an accurate Mat of those who returned from the North and the amounts they took out would be impossible. Many who made rich strikes gave out figures before leaving Dawson City. Those figures have been given in letters written to people in Washington, Oregon and Cali- fornia. But the amount taken out was, in some instances, not brought down. Part of it was invested in new claims. Below is given a partial list. It is made up of the list sent down by Arthur Perry. Perry's list is conceded to be accurate. Other figures were obtained from interviews with miners. The list includes those who came down on the "Excelsior" and landed at San Francisco, as well as those who retart.ed on the " Portland." The list foots up over |6,ooo,ooo. A partial list of strikes reported follows .— Thomas Cook |io,ooo M. S. Norcross , 10,000 J.

Kelly 10,000 A Fortune In Eight Weeks— Seattle Man Cleans Up $iaO,000 In the Klondike. Willis Thorp, of Seattle, Wash., received a letter from Edward Thorp, saying that he had cleaned up $130,000 in the Klondike in eight weeks and was coming home on the steamer "Portland," which is due in Seattle on August 26th. Thorp left Seattle one year ago, having gone north with a drove of cattle. | Another Astonishing Case. I Ten weeks ago Mrs. Willis, of Tacoma, was poor. To-day she is worth a quarter of a million, and all on account of the Klon- dike. Two years a^o Mrs. Willis, whose husband is a blacksmith, and a great sufferer from rheumatism, decided to try her luck among the gold fields of the frozen North. She set out alone, and vowed that she would not return until she could bring a fortune with her. She has kept her word. After two years of prospecting, and just when her spirits and her fortune were at the lowest ebb, there came a teport to Dawson City of a big placer strike on the Klondike. Joining a party of cattlemen, Mrs. Willis hurried to the new Eldorado, staked a claim, and so she realized more than $300,000 from it. Not satisfied with this, however, she estab- lished a laundry at Dawson City, and was the first to introduce the "boiled shirt" among the miners. It made a great hit, and notwithstanding the fact that Mrs. Willis is compelled to pay $250 for a box of starch, her enterprise is prospering greatly. An Indian squaw who works in the laundry receives I4 a day and expenses, and the log cabin in which the work is done is rented for I35 a month. Wood for fuel costs nearly f 500 a year. Before the turn of fortune's wheel made Mrs. Willis wealthy she worked as cook for the mess of the Alaska Commercial Company at Dawson. Rich Claims Deserted. The abandoned claims will make many a man, not yet on the scene, rich. There are many claims along the best-known creeks that have been abandoned. The prospectors would be digging on them contentedly earn- ing big money every day. There would then come a report from some neighboring place of fabulously rich finds, and there would follow at once a wild rush. In this way claims that paid moderately were gassed in the search of others that would anish poverty in a month. The two kmgs of the region were wise enough to profit by the craie which carried the men along, and they bought claim after claim along the Bonanza and the Eldorado. No man on earth can guess how much these men are worth to-day. They would be millionaires if they stayed at home the balance of their lives and sold interests in the mines they now have in operation. Best Mines to be Fonnd. Experts say that the best mines are still to be found. It is an old saying that the existence of the placer mine merely shows that not far away the mother rock must be found. It looks as if the gold in the loose dirt about the creeks had been brought down from the mountains by some great glacier. The men who have gone in and are going in have no capital for machinery, and the placer nining is the only kind they can undertake. The late comers and the men with money for machinery will probably search for quartz veins and get bigger ioi ■ tunes with but comparatively small expen- ditures. It is reported by Government officials and everybody else that the whole country is gold produc ng, and the work of 10,000 men who will be able to get there within the next twelve months will not begin to exhaust the resources. Everybody Oold-Crazy. I had been away just three months. May 2tth I left Seattle for Alaska. July 3d, the " Portland," one of the ihree ocean steamers of the North American Trading and Trans- portation Company, left St. Michael's on the return to Seattle. For two weeks I was aboard the " Portland," and July 17th Seattle was reached. There, and along the entire route to Chicago, everybody was greatly interested in the region from which I came, , , - - -^ and I was compelled actually to hide in a ^""^ ^5""'" about $100,000, and I have brought drawing-room on the train when it became 1 S"* ^y'^'-J went up last year with Warren known from where I had come.

The " Port- 1 I'* McNulty, San Francisco.— My earn- land" was the first boat to reach that city from I ings are $21, 000.

Gold Found Everywhere. It is evident from the cot versation that I had with Mr. Berry and Mr. Phiscater that gold is going to be dug in Alaska In almost unlimited quantities. They were both a year in the centre of the gold field— that is, the centre as it exists to-day. They were positive that the claims that had been staked out were only a small fraction of the claims that are going to pay big money. The pros- pectois in the district have not failed to find paying uirt in a single spot where a good search has been made. They said they had no idea how long or how wide the territory would prove to be, since no one has found the ends of the profit- able placers. Mr. Krook Writes About Gold Fields —He Gives Additional Information Concerning Mining Matters in Far Alaska— Those Going Need Money. The great riches of the gold fields, so widely advertised through the land, are not overestimated. But the creeks prospected are now all taken up, so that men going in there now have to work for wages, if they can get them, or go and prospect for them- selves. To do this they need money, as to buy an interest in the claims now working on the Bonanza or Eldorado will cost from $10,000 to $250,000 per claim. Taking Out $1,800 a Day. Mrs. Mitchell, of San Francisco, Cal., sis- ter of Jerome Madden, the land agent for the Southern Pacific Railroad, received a letter from her son, who went to the Klon- dike recently. He writes that he is taking out $1,800 a day from his claim. Expecting $125,000 a Mouth— World's liargest Stamp Mill to be Operated in Alaska. With several millions more in sight the principal Treadwell mine on Douglas Island, Alaska, is soon to have the largest stamp mill in the world. It has been decided to double the capacity of the plant, making the number of stamps 300. The T.ext largest mill in size is located in South Africa. It has 280 stamps. The Tread- well will mine its product at a cost of $1 a ton, and will produce $125,000 a month. Thomas Flack.— I have an interest in claims 14 and 15, on the Eldorado. One partner sold out for $50,000 and another for $55,000. I was offered $50,000, but rcrised it just before coming out. William Sloane, Nanairao, B. C— My claim in the Klondike turned out to be a pretty good one, and I sold out for $52,000. Thomas Kelly, Tacoma.— A year's hard work has brought me $10,000, and my son is now working the claim. WlUliun Stanley, Seattle.— My claims date. But the men who had accumulated the greatest wealth in the Yukon Valley were on the "PortIand,"and their arrival was I guess I will go back and see about the other half. KLONDIKE GOLD Got 47 Pounds of Oold-Rloh Strike In a Single Digging North of Klon- dike. The latest news from Klondike tells of rich finds of gold in the frozen North. A strike that is credited with showing fabulous dirt has been made on an unnamed creek sixtv miles above Klondike. Forty-seven pounds of gold were taken from the hole, and there has been a rush of the luckless ones from Klondike to the new diggings. OoJd to Be Had fbr Plokinff Up— Wild Bxoltenient Rages at Klondike, AUska, in the n5w Gold Fields. The following is an extract from a letter received by the Excelsior. It was sent from the Klondike region by a prominent and wealthy young business man of San Fran- cisco to his brother in this city :— " The excitement on the river is indescrib- able. The output of the new Klondike dis- trict is almost beyoiid belief. Men who had nothing last fall are now worth a fortune. One man has worked forty square feet of his claim and is going out with $40,000 in dust. One quarter of the claims are now selling at from $15,000 to $50,000. The estimate of the district given is thirteen miles, with an aver- age value of $300,000 to the claim ; some are valued as high as $1,000,000 each. At Daw- son sacks of dust are thrown under the counters in the stores for safe keeping. " Some of the stories are so fabulous that I am afraid to repeat them for fear of being suspected of the infection. Labor is $15 a day and board, with 100 days' work guar- anteed. So you can imagine how difficult it is to hold employees. ' If reports are true it is the biggest placer discovery ever made in the world. For though other diggings have been found quite as rich in spots, no such extent of discovery has been known which prospected and worked so rich right through." Facts About the Territory of Alaska -Its Great Rirers-Qold Mines and Fisheries. Alaska is two and one-half times as larae as Texas. * It is eight times as large as all of New England. It is as large as the South, excluding It is as large as all of the States east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio in- cluding Virginia and West Virginia. ' Its coast line is a6,ooo miles. It has the highest mountain in North America. It has the only forest-covered glacier in the world. The Treadwell is one of its greatest irold mines. " It has the best yellow cedar in the world. It has the greatest seal fisheries. It has the greatest salmon fisheries. It has cod banks that beat Newfoundland. It has the largest river in the world. A man standing on a bank of the \ ukon 150 miles from its mouth cannot see the other bank. The Yukon is ao miles wide 700 miles from Its mouth. With its tributaries it is navigable a.soo miles. '-' It is larger than the Danube. It is larger than La Plata. It is larger than the Orinoco. It discharges one-third more water than the Mississippi. The water is fresh fifteen miles from its mouth. It has more gold in iu basin than any other river. ' Its color is beautifully blue to iU junction with the White River, 1,100 miles above its mouth. Alaska runs 1,500 miles west of Hawaii. Yukon basin gold is estimated at $5,000.' 000,000. The necessary eruptive force for the for- mation of great fissure veins is everywhere evident in Alaska. Hay grows as high as a man's head. Hardy vegetables can be raised. All streams show true gold fissures. School Teacher In Luck— He Went to the Gold Fields Over the Canadian Route and Brought Out $80,000 In Nuggets. The latest arrival from the Klondyke is Albert D. Gray, formerly a school teacher in Grand Rapids, Mich. Mr. Gray arrived in San Francisco on July 23th, bringing $10,000 in nuggete. He says he is the first man who went to Dawson via the Stickeen River route. He predicts that this will soon be the favorite route to the gold diggings. He says that ilie entire Northwest is interested in the report that the Canadian Government is contemplating the building of a railroad from Telegraph Creek to L^ke Teslin. From this lake to Dawson City there would be clear navigation if the rocks on the Yukon aoo miles above Dawson were blasted out.
