GOVERNMENT WARNS
!. POSSIBLE GOLD HUNTERS
Exposes Fake Reports on Bolivian
Mines Sent Out to Boom Lands in
That Republic.

Y. Washington, d. c., June IA fake
signed by an American min
ing prDspector named Ferguson, tell
ing of rich deposits of gold along
the Tipuani river, In Bolivia, has
a large number OF American
prospectors to that country, accord
ing to a warning issued from the
department OF state. The letter has
been circulated widely among the
mining communities Of the Western
States and Alaska. Nm
An investigation by American
Minister Knowles in Bolivia has
shown that the Ferguson letter was
ecirculated by a German fugitive
kfrom justice, now resident In Bolivia,
who is the owner OF large tracts OF
land along the Tipuani river. The
reports of gold were circulated to
boom the land.
Despite the discouraging informa-
|tion given to some Of the American
prosrectors upon arriving in La Paz.
Bolivia, several of them decided TO
visit the Tipuani district and see for
themselves whether deposits existed
there. Certain of these p%rospectors
have reported that there Is no gold
to be obtained by the ordinary meth
DDS OF placer mining and that the
Tipuani Is not worth one-half the
poorest river In Alaska.
The Bolivian government has done
everything in it's power to help out
the American prospectors who have
already arrived in Bolivia, says the
state department. There are gold
Adeposits in certain sections Of Bolivia
and at the suggestion OF Minister
knowles the Bolivian government,
when made aware OF the plight OF the
prospeetors lured to he Titusni dis
trict. opened a bureau Of mines and
placed at the service of the prospec-
tors engineers and guides to take
them to those regions where tits be-
INeved gold In paying quantities may
be found.
Y 1t Is still possible that these efforts
OF the Bolivian government may re-
tnrn o the prospectors a reward for
their long journey. and at the same
time prove Of grtat benefit to the b.
iiyian government by opening up
mining fields which have heretofore
remained UNEMPLOYED for want Of
prospectors.
