MORE GOLD FROM THE kLoNplkg.
Remarkable Exhibit in Preparation FOR

Remarkable Exhibit in Preparation FOR
the Omaha Exposition this season.
Klondike, the New Eldorado in the
Northwest that bids fair soon to eclipse
all mining camps known to history and
to attract migration the like of which
the New World has not witnessed since
the golden days of 10, will contribute
from its fabulous storehouse of prec-
ious metals to the Alaskan mining eX-
hibit Mt the Trans mississippi Exposi-
ton. The initial step in the direction
of preparing for an exhibition of gold
and silver ores from the new wonder
land has already been taken by repre-
sentative business men ON the Pacific
coast. headed by Ex-Governor James
Sheakley of Sitka. In conjunction
with the Alaska Trade Committee of
San Francisco, composed of members
of the Merchants Association, the
Chamber of Commerce and the Board
of Trade of that city, the resources of
the newly discovered mines of the
klondike region will be fully repre-
scented and an exhibit of especial attrac-
ton afforded to the millions of visitors
Mt the Trans Mississippi Exposition.
The exhibit will be supplemented by
an extensive display of furs of wild an
imals that inhabit Alaska, specimens
of the handiworll of the Indians snow
shoes, sleds, dog train and packing
outfits, mining tools, seal md fishing
implements, aud multiplicity of oh
Iccts of interest used by the natives in
that far-off land.
Forming an important and brilliant
counterpart to the great klondike min
ing exhibit will be shown the mineral
resources of California, now ar
ranged for the Golden Jubilee in com
memoration of the first discovery of
gold in the State, January u, 1918
The scope of the great mining exhibit
is extending every day rs the prelim-
mary work progresses, and its various
features will combine the largest and
finest collection ever seen Mt any of
the worlds expositions The arrange

cation of the people. One of the fen
