throughout the country about the great gold fields of the
Klondike districts is no doubt true, and we think it a safe
Investment for anyone. After a thorough investigation,
we can safely recommend to the readers of this paper,
the Alaska- Yukon-Klondike Gold Syndicate. The char-
acter of its officers constitute a sufficient guarantee that
not a day nor a dollar will be wasted."

The Alaska- Yukon-Klondike Gold Syndicate

has been organized and incorporated for the pur-
pose of acquiring and operating gold mines in
Alaska and the North West territory of British
America, now recognized as unquestionably the
richest gold fields of the known world. This
syndicate is authorized to purchase, build and
sell, all kinds of machinery, vessels and boats,

rocks of the hills, waiting for the proper machin-
ery to take it out.

to transport freight and passengers; to locate,

develop, and operate mines and mining proper-
ties; to purchase, sell and improve personal and
real estate, refine, smelt and assay the metals,
and to carry on such other business as may be
pertinent to its purposes. The future great
operations of that country must on be carried
through organization, aided by boats, pack ani-
mals, hydraulics and machinery driven by steam
and electricity. The supplying of these must
be through capital, with carefully planned and
thoroughly equipped expeditions directed by ex-
perienced managers and operated by mining and
engineering experts.
The expedition of this syndicate will leave
the Pacific coast in two sections during: March

and April of next year, under the personal di-

rection of our Vice-President, accompanied by
our Superintendent of Mining, Mr. George H.
Davis, who is a thorough miner and intimately
familiar with every detail of the task before
him, having passed several years in the snow-
bound Rockies in charge of large mining in-
terests and superintending the construction and
operation of large gold quartz mills.
The first section, composed of our Vice-
President with mining experts and engineers,
will cross the Chilkoot Pass, and descend the
rivers on the ice, prior to its breaking up.
They will arrive in the gold fields two months
ahead any expedition that can possibly reach

Dawson City by way of St. Michaels and the
Yukon River.

Old miners believe that three hundred tons

of gold may be taken out each year.

The second section, with prospectors,

food,
kinds, will start from the Pacific coast by the
water route as early as the rivers are open to
navigation. The expedition will carry steam
apparatus, adapted for thawing the perpetually
frozen gravels of the placer mines hoisting en- ;

other mechanical and food supplies necessary for
the use of the syndicate, its mechanics and pros-
pectors.

The management of this syndicate is in pos-

session of private information of the greatest
value, obtained from a veteran prospector who
cannot return to the scenes of his discovery for
reason of failing health. This gulch, which
he has prospected is more than two hundred
miles from Dawson City, and is not worked or
claimed. Its distance from Dawson City will
almost certainly leave it unstaked till we reach
its easily accessible banks where our informant
washed thousands of dollars of the purest gold
and nuggets yet brought from the frozen north.

have organized and shall take, as a part
of our expedition, a large party of prospectors,

this syndicate for, at least, eighteen months.

Tney will work prospecting under the super-
vision and direction of our mining experts and
engineers. The expenses, supplies, etc., will be
turnished by the syndicate, the prospectors' com-
pensation being a 49% interest in the claims
they may stake; the remaining 51% belonging
to the syndicate. Whenever a discovery is

made by any one of the small parties into which

the prospectors are divided, every other party
and man will be called in at once and every
man stakes a claim.

When operating individually the chances will

be against any one man's success. With the
