says:
The North American Transportation
and Trading company is the only one now
buying claims in the Klondike I I'M
derstand that they are acting as agents
for the Rothschilds. I met Mr.. Cudahy
on the train from Chicago to San Fran
cisco and he told me that they had just
received $500, 0cO in drafts which had been
given in payment of claims there
He said the company was acting as
agent in purchasing, and I learn that the
Rothschilds are preparing to spend 81
OOO. 900 in the purchase of mines. 1t looks
little though the great English bank
ing house was making stupendous efforts
to control most of the claims on the
Klondike."
