De'.r Sir, Communications ^ aving been received from corre8pon<^i^nts and Shareholders of the Syndicate in America and abroad referring to the new discoveries at the Yukoa Klondike goldfields, and asking whether the Syndicate intend making any arrangement* for obtaining interests in properties, and obtaining a footing at the new fields through Members of the Engineering Profession and others on the lines already followed by the Syndicate in the Colonies and abroad, I am directed to inform you that the Directors have instructed Mr. H. B. Warren, Assoc. Memb. Inst. C.E., Memb. Mining Inst., the Syndicate's representative and advisory Director for Bi-itish Columbia, cad who has for many yoars been established in the Province a.s a Civil, Hydraulic, and Mining Engineer, to make the necessary arrangements in the Syndicate's interests. Vancouver, where Mr. Warren's offices are situated, being a leading port of arrival and departure for Juneau and the Yukon Klondike goldfields, exceptional facilities exist for obtaining early information of discoveries and entering into arrangements upon advan- tageous terms for acquiring share interests therein, by advancing small loans or part cost » of outfits and stores to colonial parties of working miners, traders and others passing between the new goldfields and the porta of Vancouver and Victoria. By following this method of operations, the success of which to the personal knowledge of the Directors has been fully proved at the goldfields of Australia and New Zealand, some of the best pa^ ing niinos having been acquired in this manner, dealings can be entered into at bed rock pricos and inspection arranged for by Mr. Warren upon the Syndicate's behalf, without the loss of time and expenditure required for sending out Mining Engineers from home unacquainted with Colonial rnetliods of business, and indispensable where no organised system of repre- sentatives and correspondents exists. Recognising the coming importance of British Columbian mining, the Syndicate have already obtained through Mr. H, B. Warren an option, under which payment is accepted entirely in fully-paid Shares, to purchase three alluvial gold gravel mining leases with water rights for working same granted by the British Columbian Mining Department, comprising 240 acres in all, situated one and a-half miles below the Nicoamen Creek on the west bank of the Thompson River, 10 miles above its junction with Ahe Eraser River, in the Yale mining division. Province of Kamloops, British Columbia, and distant about 160 miles by rail from the city of Vancouver, the main line rf the Canadian Pacific Railway passing along the east bank of the Thompson River, immediately opposite the leases, placing the property in an exceptionally favourable position for economical working, the cost of transportation of pipes and machinery delivered alongside the Thompson River and immediately opposite the property, being merely ordinary railway rates from Vancouver, •with consequent saving of usual heavy up-country freightage charges and loss of time. The Directors are of opinion that by forming a company to amalgamate this placer property with a selected Yukon Klondike placer property a sound and profitable combination would be obtained, the greater value of the gold obtained from one property being compensated for by the lower working and freight charges of the other property, both undertakings being of the same class of mining. A report has ' ->n supplied by Mr. Warren, the Company's representative at Columbia, a copy of which is at the disposal of the Shareholders of the Syndicate. Arrangements for representing the Syndicate upon the lines laid down at its incor- poration have been made with Members of the Engineering Profession having offices and established at Rossland, Quebec, Toronto, and the leading towns and mining centres of British Columbia and the Dominion, and offers and reports upon copper, gold and galeni reef mining properties in the Kootenay and other districts have been received, and are ander consideration by the Directors. To cover the extension of the Synilicates operations to the Yukon Klondike and British Columbia goldfields, not anticipated or in view at the time of the formation of the Syndicate, the Directors have decided to follow the plan of other Exploration Companies, and to make a part issue of the unallotted shares. I have pleasure therefore in forwarding you herewith Prospectus of the Syndicate, from which you will note the practical nature of the undertaking and the advantages offered Shareholders. A prospectus of the subsidiary Company already formed, with copies of reports and photographs showing mines, tailings, and locality, can be supplied you. Applications for ..hares of the Syndicate are to be forwarded to the London and County Banking Company, Limited. 21, Lombard Street, E.C., or to the^e offices, when the shares will be reserved you accordingly. Your obedient Servant, By Order. A. W. LEWIN, Secretary.
