KLoNDIKE "GoI.D COMPANIES
Financial Sha Preparing to Mine

New York, July 31.-wail street has been
Interested the past few weeks in the
growing crop of Kloncike gold COM
nanies," gold mining and de veloping
companies" and gold mining and trading
companies" that have been making their
appearances. The capitalization OF these
companies Is stated all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000, 900, though Just bow
much OF these round amounts have been
paid in ts not reported in the glowing
advertisements offering the stock for
sale. In par salue the shares run all the
way from 81 to 500. In the case of the
500 shares, however, in order 10 suit
moderate purses, in vestors can obtain
onc-tenth shares at $40.
Few OF tie Companies assert that they
as yet OVID any claims In the Kloptuke
Most OF them announce that the capital
which IL 70 he raised Is for the pur pose
of building o. chartering q special steam
ship which, fitted out with q supply of
mining engineers, provisions and stores, is
to make It's way up the Yukon River TO
the land OF gold, and there stake out

OF the Officers they have already made

1t is possible that some among the Klon-
dixie Companies have been organized with
the legitimate intention of acquiring and
working claims In the district. The OPP
portunfty, however, has undoubtedly been
looked upon not only by the professional
promoting element, but by the general

Point date-Sept. to 4-and Bosco-
bel had done the same. Thus the Min
eral Point board was confronted with
three fairs in adjacent towns in the
week preceding, and two in the week
usually adopted by Mineral Point.
To take some other date was absolute
ly necessary. The only choice was to
come in before or after these five fairs.
The board decided to take the front OF
the procession, and hold their fair
August 18th to Goth. Discovering that
they were In dilemma, Dodgeville
has seen fit to change from her orig
inal date, and now announces that she
will hold her fair in the same week
with Mineral Point, August 18th to
10th. The officers of the Mineral Point
association regret exceedingly that
Dodgeville has done this, approaching
that the effect will be injurious, but
conscious that they are in no wise to
blame, can only proceed and make
the best preparation possible to meet
the consequences.

The matter of water works and fire

While Mr.. Bryan and his associates,
refusing to accept the verdict of last
November, are looking forward hope
fully to renewing what they call the
"battle for silver" at the next congress
sional elections; while bimetallic
commission has just been appointed to
visit the European governments in the
interest Of international bimetallism,
there may be perceived all over the
world an unmistakable drift toward the
single standard of gold. Since the APP
pointment of the United States COM
missioners the dispatches from Europe
indicate that their mission will be fruit
less, and that there is no more probable
ity of those governments returning to
bimetallism than there is of their re-
turning to flintlock muskets for their
armies The latest announcement is
from Russia, which is to the effect that
she is irrevocably committed to the gold
standard
But it is not in Europe alone that
this tendency is observable. The wis
dom and apparent ease with which the
Japanese government has planned tho
adoption of the gold standard is one of
tho marvels of modern craftsmanship
and marks that people as among the
most sagacious nations of the earth.
Laggard China also seems to be awak-
ing from her silver dream of isolation
and is anxious to have the customs du-
ties at the treaty ports placed on the
gold basis, as they substantially We're
when the treaties were made. The de-
probation of silver has greatly crippled
her revenues, and now that she is COM
ing into closer financial connection with
finances will be conformed to the gold
standard.
If we turn from the far orient to our
own hemisphere, we will perceive a
stirring in the Central and South Amer
lean states to reform their monetary sys-
tenn and escape the losses entailed by
an inferior and deprecated currency. A
dispatch few days since from Lima
informed us that Peru had not only sus-
pended silver coinage but had passed q
law against the importation Of silver.
Columbia has adopted tho gold stand
ard, while Chilli, Uruguay and Brazil
make gold unlimited legal tender and
silver in but limited sums. In Hondu-
ras, San Salvador, Costa Rica and Santo
Domingo the gold standard has been es-
tahlished by law, though deprecated
paper currency prevents the circulation
Of gold at present These movements so
to show that those nations who are in
touch with European trade and COM
m,rce feel the necessity Of having the
same monetary system and that their
people are mt disadvantage because of
their tiuctuating and deprecated home
currencies.
And yet while these nations, admit
teddy our interiors in wealth and in
physical and intellectual progress, are
struggling out Of the bonds that hold
them back there are those among US
who would imperil our vast wealth and
commerce by plunging rs down to the
silver standard. What must the nations
Of the world think Of such leadership

Concerning Dates of Fairs.

There being much misunderstanding,
and some misrepresentation concern
ing the fixing Of dates for fairs of 1897
IN Southwestern Wisconsin, the fol-
lowing statement seems proper:
From It's origin until last year the
fair in this city had been held annual
Iy on the first week OF September, and
was the first fnir Of the season In this
section of the state until about four
years ago. In 1892 or 1893, Dodge
ville's fair was changed from latter
part OF September to last week of
August, a year or two latter, Oar
lington changed from late in Septem-
Der to last week of August same as
Dodgeville. In 1894 or 1895, to har-
monte differences, and organize n
race circuit, Dodgcville changed to
third week In August, and 1896 Bosco-
bel changed from late in September to
first week OF September, coming In on
date SO long held by Mineral Point.
Thus the two fairs nearest to Mineral
Point had stepped in front Of her, and
Boseobel had become II competitor ON
Our long held date. This was found
prejudicial to Mineral Point, and she
appealed In 1896 to her neighbors of
Darlington, Dodgeville, Monroe and
other places for consideration. Con-
ferences were held, dates for fairs of
the year were fixed, and n race circuit
formed, by the several societies named
below, under II printed agreement,
which was signed by the secretaries of
the several societies except Monroe,
who by letter said that he did not wish
to bind his successors, but II he were
IN Office n Year later, would be gov
erned hy the agreement, which reads
~ follows;
