MAINE AND klOMolke.
A Company Formed IN This stats 10 Get Part
Of the Wealth.

Portland with all the other cities II
the country seems to have caught tn,
Klondyke gold fever and with all thu
case. The lotest thing is the organiza.
ton of company in Portland to carry
on trading and mining operations il
the great country which from all re
ports seems to be a land OF gold. This
company was formed under the laws
of the State, Friday evening and IL
called the Alaska. Yukon Klondyke
Gold Syndicate with capitalization OF
100000. and with paid in capital OF
$175O. This company has 100000 shares
with par value of 81.
Mr.. Fred Emery Bean of Hallowell is
the president of the concern and Col.
William J. Mayberry of Saco, the sur
geon on Gov. Powers staff, is the
treasurer. There are seven directors
including the above named officers.
four of them residing in Portland and
the others living out Of town. Mr.. G..
T.. Jeffrey is the clerk Of the company.
This syndicate proposes to engage in
mining and trading in Alaskan goli
fields. They intend to equip an expedi-
ton in this city next May consisting of
u men who will be given transporta-
ton to the Klondyke, fed and clothed
and bind themselves by contract 20
work for. the company for a certain
number of years.
These men are to receive 40 per cent
of the gross receipts of the company
while the syndicate will take the re-
naming 81 per cent, pay all the ex-
penses and divide the remainder of
the profits among the stock holders
In June the party will sail from Seattle
for the Yukon and as soon as naviga-
ton is opened will proceed up the great
river 1000 miles to Dawson city. This
trip will be made by steamer which will
carry enough provisions to supply the
party for year, machinery for mining,
horses. mules and all necessary ar
rangements for transportation, several
portable saw mills. and other articles
which may be of use in the new coun-
try.
The party will be preceded into the
country by an agent who will go by the
way Of the Chilcoot pass to Dawson
city as early as March. This agent
will settle upon a site for the new
township and take up the land under
an arrangement which has been made
with the Canadian government On
this land which will be situated on
some one of the creeks flowing into the
Yukon the portable saw mills will be
set up and town lots sold for residential
purposes only. To those building in
this town, lumber will be sold and the
right to trade there Will also be sold to
the right parties. Under this plan it
is believed that the stock holders will
receive a good dividend on their in
vestment.
Besides this town site and the trad
ing operations the company will have
regular system Of prospecting and all
of the operations will be carried on in
systematic manner The syndicate
claim to have made arrangements with
the Canadian government for the town
site and say that they now have in the
country an agent who is making pre-
liminary arrangements2for them.-Port-
