GAGE SURPLUS,

If there is a surplus of gold
and silver in the treasury as
Secy. Gage claims then why
not call in a few bonds and can
eel them? You don't have to
look far for the reason or
reasons. Reason! To call in and
cancel any bonds would cause
some of the Administration pets
to lose their solid u per cent
investment. Reason 9: To call in
any bonds 70 cancellation would
mean a reduced surplus therefore
no money to loan the Stand. Oil
Bank free of interest. Great
financeering, that, great for
those parties who grease the
band wagon,

BRITISH GUIANA MINES.
American Consul Tells of Condition
There.

New York, Sept 2S.-George H Moulton
of Colorado, United States consul to De-
marara- in British Guiana, has arrived in
New York, being on leave of absence. In
discussing affairs in British Guiana, Mr..
Moulton said
The rush to the gold fields of British
Guiana and Venezuela, which was ex-
pected to follow the settlement of the
Venezuelan boundary dispute, failed to
materialize- The new boundary fixed by
the arbitration court is quickly accepted
by the people of Venezuela. and no furth-
er dispute is likely to arise. Gold mining
is still being prosecuted in the British
Guiana gold fields and a few Americans
are there trying TO make their fortunes.
The yield of those gold fields is about
$2.OOo,Oo0 year All the gold obtained is
secured by placer mining.
Mining in British Guiana is attended
by the greatest difficulties and hardShips,
and there is also some danger to life. The
gold fields are all at some distance in the
Interior To reach them the miners have
TO travel through swamp lands and dense
brush which are infested by aligatOrS,
enormous reptiles and wild beasts. Every
thing the miners carry along has to be
packed by men. British Guiana is no
place for American miners. They can do
better in Colorado or Montana.
