Concerning the British American
Prospecting aud DEVELOPING
Company.

The editor of the News knowing thai
but few OF our people would be in a po
sition TO go TO the Kloudike. thought
seriously of getting up some way for III
readers TO at any rate enjoy some OF thu
benefits arising from the finding Of gold
there, and believes that now chance OF
late has thrown IN his way the oppor-
tunity for it's readers doing so, and il is
in this wise:
During the years 1929 the editor
made the acquaintance OF some Canad-
ian gentleman 10 Chicago, but they had
slipped from his sight until his late visit
to that city, when he ran across one OF
the brothers who is now secretary ard
treasurer of large manufacturing COM
pauy. This brother was very anxious
the editor should see another brother
who lived in Indiana but who could be
found at an office in the Marquette build
ing. Upon going there he found himself
in the branch Office, the chief one being in
Toronto, OF the BritIsh-American Pros.
pecting and Developing company, and IN
the workings of which he has become
deeply interested. believing that it might
be the means Of the readers of the NEWS
gaining some OF the Klondike gold al
though staying at their own fresides.
The editor was introduced to Mr..
Cryder, a miner, who has been prospect
ing in the Alaskan country for five years,
and himself possesses some claims in the
'Klondike which he thinks contains more
gold than all the other parts OF the
world. Mr.. Cryder thinking that a cor
poration can do more than man single
handed. has allied himself with the Brit
ish-A American and intends returning to
Alaska, or rather Klondike, as soon as
che weather in the spring will allow and
will assist the company ia locating
claims, etc. Mr.. Cryder informed the
4 writer that he knew the working OF sew
Neral OF the companies interet ted at Daw-
son City aud neighborhood, and from
what he had seen of them he believed
that the British-American had the inside
track, mainly from the fact that the di.
rectois OF the company being Canadians,
had been enabled TO make arrangements
with that government from which the
richest and most wonderful results might
be expected.
Mr.. Cryder assured the writer that I'M
less the unexpected happened, no one

himself large owner of stock, which he
has purchased since leaving Dawson
City.
The company also owns some claims at
Rainy Lake and at Michipicoten.
The writer has been offered the agency
oil the company in the Lake Superior reg
ion, and believing it is just about able to

vided he is satisfied, from the inquiries he
is now making, that everything is all
correct.
Some Of the editors Canadian friends
are so pleased with the prospect that
they formed a syndicate and purchased
$40, 200 worth OF stock, which entities
the enc OF their number whom they may
elect 60 represent them, to free ticket
aud $ 600 in money, with board and
