OFFICES CLOSED
KlOndike Investors Anxious as to
Getting Back Money They
Advanced.
One Company Moved to Philadel.
phia.- Another Not So
Obliging
As Even to Tell Where Its Off,
cialS Had Gone---Investiga-
tiOn Proceeding.

New YORK, Dec. 4.-The Yukon.
Cariboo British Columbia Gold Mining
and Development company has quietly
closed its New York offices. Several of
the investors have authorized lawyers
to recover the money they paid for
shares. Some Of the investors feel that
the savings which they put into the
company are lost.
With great flare Of trumpets the
company came to life last July.
In great big letters were announced
the several facts that j. Edward Ad.
dicks, the Delaware gas king. was pres
ident of the company; that Sylvester
u. Everett, the millionaire of Cleve.
land, and Benjamin Butterworth were
other officers.
When tie Yukon. Cariboo company
closed its ofi1ce here it left notice on
the door saying the Office had been re.
moved to Philadelphia. This sign
has caused a world of trouble to lot Of
poor people the last few weeks. They
had visited the place to inquire how the
company was prospering. Some Of
them went with the expectation Of find.
ing dividends awaiting them. The
sign chilled them. Some went to law
yers. Theodore o. Wright, one Of the
subscribers. says he put in $500 but
never received even his certificate.
Another One Has Vanished.
Another OF the Klondike companies
appears to have been disappointed and
disappointing. For the last 10 days a
number of people have been looking for
the manager or any other responsible
officer of the Northwest Mining and
Trading company, which. although it
was capitalized at $1,000, 900, occupied
single obscure Office on the twelfth
floor Of 30 Broad street. This Office il
now closed.
This company, when the Klondike
fever ragged, announced that it had
1000, 900 shares, but could only let the
public have 200, 900 at the low price OF
IS per share.
Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio and
other prominent men, were advertised
as it's officers. The investors in the
! company are clamoring for Eugene
Davis who, it is said, was the manager
Mr.. Davis denies this.

BONGA'S STRANGE STORY.

A Companion Murdered and Htmself
Robbed in ittsburg.
ST. PAUL, Dec 4.-Robert Bonga, q
Chippewa Indian, - years old, applied
at the central police station for lodging,
and told q rather strange story to Cap.
tain Rouleau. In substance his story
was that he had spent the most of his
life in the Indian school in Carlisle,
Pa, and at the commercial college for
Indians in New York. He left New
York in October, in company with an
other Indian named James Gray. The
latter was bound for Leech Lake, Mimi,
and Bonga was making his way home
to Ponsford, Becker county, Mimi.
They had to spend the day in Pitts.
burg, and that while there they met
two colored men who became friendly
and showed them the city" During
the evening of Oct. 3, the colored
men, SO the story goes, took them into
an unfrequented part of the city and
robbed him and his companion of
500. After the robbery Bonga says
that he ran and that his companion
was murdered. He says that he heard
the shots and that on returning to the
scene half an hour later he found Gray
nearly dead in the street. Bonga noti'
fed the police and Gray was taken to
local hospital, where he died the next
day. Bonga says that the police of
Pittsburg kept him in the city several
days and then told him to go home. He
says that he procured ticket as far as
Elroy, Wis. and that he walked nearly
all the distance from that place to St.
Paul.
He was much fatigued and hungry
when he reached the station. Bong.

"Jerry" Leaves Reed-Lyford
Canyon for Regions
Unknown.
Goes Forth Into the Wilderness to
Indulge His Strange Religious
Vagaries.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, May 5.-The
hermit of the Marin hills has deserted
his abode in the Reed Ly ford Canyon near
the picnic grounds of Ell Campo and left
for regions unknown. Last evening he
was seen by Constable John Mahar on
the county road near Tamalpais station
He was trudging along with mis- coat over
his arm and his long, reddish hair flying
with the wind.
The Constable, who was one Of the party
that discovered the hermits retreat some
time ego, called him familarly by the
name of Jerry. The hermit stopped and
shookhands and when questioned as to
where he was going said that he didn't
know. He intended to reach San Rafael
that evening and from there he would
seek some wilderness where he could live
in peace and continue his religious
studies.
When questioned as to his early life he
said that he had worked as a policeman
in the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, and
that he had a brother in the City. he
could not state how long he had lived
the life of hermit; he had kept no track
OF the flight OF time. Here he brancheu
off into his religious talk and told OF now
the angels watched over him ana taught
him great truths.
st his strange habitation in the Reed
Lyford Canyon which he has just deserted
he had gate erected IN front OF his hut
This gate was supported by posts, but no
fence was on either side. He said last
. night that the angels had sent this TO him
: and told him to place it where he had 1t.
He would open this gate and carefully
close il after him, when he approached
his hut.
The hermit is intelligent and talks well
on every subject. His religious views are
strange and upon this topic alone does he
exhibit signs of insanity. When he was
discovered some time ago in his secluded
retreat away from civilization he was
dressed in buckskin clothes, and was read
ing aloud from a bible, In his hut were
pictures of Catholic priests and volumes
of books such as The Lives Of the
Martyrs" For days at time, he said, he
would fast in order to do penance.
Thus the life of the hermit became
mystery to the people living in the
vicinity of Tiburon. They knew be lived
somewhere about, but never could get a
glimpse OF him or his habitation. Now
he is gone and when he will return to his
old quarters is a matter of speculation.
