YUKON GOLD TAKES SLUMP

ADVICE, ALREADY SUSTAIN
BIG LOSS.

NEW YORK, April 10.-Once again
the great American public, aid Incl

cousins, have been handed large and
Juicy specimen of the genus citrus by
a little more than week has elapset
since spectators and investors of both
United Safes, as we'll as in several
parts of Europe We're thrown into a
ingly alluring offer which the redoubt-
able "Taffy Tom made to them through
newspapers of a certain mining stock
which was to be offered 10 the public
and which was to prove one of the
greatest money makers of the age.
In response to those advertisements,
brokers on the New York stock eX
change and the Consolidated stock eX-
change, as also on the local and Boston
curb markets, to say nothing of banks
and bankers. were flooded with orders
to purchase the stock of the Yukon
Gold Mining company, of which Law
son offered for public sale 100000
shares, of the par value of $5 each.
On his assurances that this stock
would eventually sell at prices far in
excess of its lo.s value the pubic went
fairly wild in its efforts to get aboard,
and the result was one of the most ex-
citing not to say disgraceful, scenes
that have ever been enacted on the
Broad street curb market, or anywhere
else.
Just little more than week ago
trading in this stock was begun, and
through the enormous public demand
ESTIMATED to have reached 100000
shares. or more than fOu- times the
offer) and manipulation on the part of
LaWsOn's brokers. the stock immedi-
ately jumped from its opening figure
of $3.50 a share to IS share. with
transactions on the New York curb
market alone aggregating fully 100000
shares The balance of the offering,
it was reported after the close of that
day, had been disposed of in Boston
fa+ l.,
Lawson himself that he h"a secured
| the option on the 100000 shares offered
at IS share. and as it calculated that
i the entire 10 brought an average figure
of fully 81 share, it Is perfectly clear
| this deal something in excess of a
cool million dollars, outside of what
his advertising campaign cost him-a
good two hours work.
The stock of the Yukon Gold COM
pany at the present writing Is selling
at and under its par value. $500, so
that already those who We're carried
away by the tactics of Lawson have
sustained heavy losses through their
confidence in him. Worse than this,
however. the episode has had Il de
cided influence on the general stock
market and during the past week not
only have dealings on both the New
York stock exchange and the Consol-
dated stock exchange decreased con-
siderably but, there has also been quite
a substantial decline in prices
