Special to TimeS-Republican.
| Iowa Falls, June 15.-The indications
are that the final curtain is to be run
down on the famous -Lillooet Gold
Mining fiasco, and that the next few
weeks will close up the whole matter
so far as Iowa stockholders are con-
cerned. 1t is stated that the claims
of the company in the bed of the
Fraser river in British Columbia, to-
gether with the dredge and other ap-
purtenances belonging to the company,
have been sold to James Ames, one of
the original promoters of the enter
prise for the sum OF $4,000. For sew
fighting suits and counter suits in the
courts of British Columbia, and it is
now reported that the end has come,
and that in the event fortunes come to
the famous claim, the reward will go
to the new investors and not to hun
dreds of Iowa people who put their
good money into an enterprise that
once looked like finding it," and set
the small investors in a frenzy, as they
contemplated the fabulous returns that
were to accrue to those who were will
ing to pin their faith to the glowing
tales recited in the promoters circu-
lars. The recent litigation seems to
have revealed the fact that there were
three mortgage against the property
but the Canadian courts held them
fraudulent. These mortgages included
$10,240. a portion of which was spent
in paying the builders of the dredge
that was to dip the golden dividends
from the glittering sands of the Fraser
river. It Is reported the mortgages
aggregated $4,000 while other expen-
ses for litigation. operation of the
dredge, etc., adds another item Of $685.
000 A number Of local stockholders
have stood by the ship until she went
down and have used time, money, etc.,
in hopes OF eventually bringing some
good out of the move that seems to
have been hoodooed since its incep-
ton. Crucial times in the history of
the enterprise have caused some Of the
stockholders to sweat blood, while at
the same time tugs were made on their
pocket books that meant the surrender
of hard earned dollars accumulated by
years Of labor and economy. The end
Of 1t all will no doubt come as relief
to all who have been identified with the
enterprise in auy way,
