More AllOueZ Talk.

To the Financial Editor of the Transcript:
In connection with the current talk
about revival OF interest in the Allouez
mine, | note with interest the suggestion
made that there ia something in the ma
ture OF contest for control OF the prop
erty under way. What Is the truth of
this assertion that as high as 81 per
share has been bid and declined for a
controlling interest in the property? Ia
il fact, or SIMPLY street gossip? When
is the annual meeting?
LARGE HOLDER.
The annual meeting OF the Alouez ia
held on the second Tuesday OF March.
We have endeavored to ascertain the
basis for the current talk about possible
change oil control and find that some
Boston stockholders, representing heavy
holdings, express dissatisfaction with the
inactivity at the mine, desiring more Wig
orous policy in the line OF exploration
and development. 1t is declared to be a
fact that much higher price than cur
rent market quotations has been bid for
control OF the property, and there is good
reason for thinking that 1t was fully 81
per share. Probably even higher figure
would be paid for block large enough
to obtain control. This comes from a
large holder, who says that a contest is
likely at the annual meeting, and that
welLknown friends OF the so.called Bige-
low group Of copper interests are among
the Boston stockholders Of the Allouez.
These are days Of revival Of copper prop
critics. and az has been indicated in this
column Of late, the Allouez appears to
have q good OUTLOOK u taken hold of In

From Our Special Correspondent
SEATTLE, WASH, March 1.
The Klondike craze Is the mining
event of the century. People are rushing
to Alaska from the four quarters Of the
earth. The excitement wakes What
will be the end?
It has wrought transformation in
Seattle as if by magic It has drifted
awakened the somewhat somnolent
Portland 1t has set San Francisco in
a fiutter 1t has enriched Vancouver
and Victoria. Hotels and restaurants
swarm. Boarding houses multiply
Farmers are hurrying their surplus
meats and vegetables to market. Dog
fanciers are disposing of their finest
CANNES at high prices, and the large
cities have been ransacked for stray ours
to bear the gold seekers and their outfits
into the frozen recesses of the north.
The schemer, the gambler, the Thin
bic rigger and the fakir are seeking their
victims with considerable success.
Wonderful Mining Devices.
There are devices thicker than leaves
in Vallomb rosa and more wonderful and
intricate than the Kelly motor for
wrestling the yellow metal from its icy
shackles.
"Well, swan 7" said weather worn
old miner as he gazed in the window of
a Seattle store today. $50 they call
that new gold washerl Why, l
wouldn't cart that thing across the
street for it. Yet there is plenty of
durn fools a buyin ON it. -
There are great augurs TO bore the

The Northern Pacific railroad
company has at last definitely de
cided to build through the Clear
water pass. The development of
the Pacific coast trade demands
increased facilities. The Columbia
river is destined to be the gateway
to the United States for Pacific
coast commerce. This geographic
cal advantage is one of Importance
to the trans-contincntal lines which
have terminal facilities in the
Columbia basin. The Northern
Pacific road is in position to be
benefited by this new commercial
relation. The demand most ap-
parent now is railroad route with
easy grades and short distances.
Both of these conditions are OBJ
tanned by the appropriation of the
Clearwater pass. The chief OBJ
stacle to railroad traffic in the
northwest is the snowfall on the
Pacific slope of the Rocky noun
tains. The adoption OF the Clear
water pass eliminates this difficulty.
The route for six hundred miles
lies in the continuous valley of the
rivers which is practically free
from snow for 500 miles; and then
the timber belt is encountered
where there is no wind to DRIFT the
snow. In fact the Pacific coast
snow belt is avoided by the adop-
ton of the Clear water pass.

All women should remember
that F. L. Moore paid out thou

of married women in the homes
they had helped to build up in the
deserts of this northwest.

Frank Moore as attorney for the
toreiffn bankers ordained who
SHOULD be foTeclosed and when the
suits should begin. The merits OF
the case did not cut any figure.
The rule with him was, so many
every month, just to keep up his
income to fixed figure of about
$500. Every suit instituted meant
an addition of his fees to the costs
to be attached to the debtor. This
practice made the farmers pay
Moore's salary and saved that
much for the foreign clients.
