GOLD SEEKERS SAIL
FROM SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, May 90
There sailed out OF San Francisco
Bay a few days ago a little company
OF 80 men whose ship now is point
ing toward the Arctic seas. Gold is
the age old lure which inspired this
adventure. which means cold and
loneliness and discomfort. Pos
sibly hunger and death.
The schooner Casco is the vessel
which is bearing the treasure seek
ers ~northward and in her cabin
Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote
many a romance which these mod
ern argonauts are likely to parallel.
The ships company includes men
who have delved in the earth in all
parts of the world. On them will
devolve the operations required in
mining. Men who have sailed the
seven a are on board, and they
will see to the navigation. Then
there men who have been successful
bankers and business men. To sev-
eral of the latter, rated well fixed
in the matter of worldly goods the
adventure appealed rather than any
prospect of financial return. But
all 80 are shareholders in the
Northern Mining and Trading COM
pany.

a rich mining area where gold mug
gets may be picked off the surface
of the earth and where the lodges
are incrusted with the precious ore.
The location is a secret.
l.. s.. McGirk, a mining engineer,
who has worked in the earth from
Panama to Nome, is at the head of
the party. His office is the musty
little cabin in which Stevenson
worked. The battered old desk on
which Stevenson wrote still is in
the cabin, splotched by ink stains
from his pen.
1t is reported the adventure that
1ed~to the new voyage of Casco "a

wealth in the Arctic, when he and
other members Of the crew of a
poaching boat was wrecked.
He was starving when natives
found him. But he forgot his hum
ger as his eyes rested. on gold that
fairly seeped through the earth.
Without equipment, he says. he re-
turned to civilization with gold
worth thousands of dollars.
McGirk and others heard the
story. Adventures banded to-
gether, each providing his share
of the estimated expenses. Some of
the 80 sold all they had to get
money for the venture. Others, like
Albin Johnson, secretary of the cor
poration. and Emanuel Johnson, the
vice president, had found much gold
in Alaska and are rich enough to
buy a dozen mines.
More than 500, McGirk says, had
the money and the desire to go.
But no mar was chosen unless he
knew something of mining. Captain
c. L. Oliver, the navigator, is not
SO much a miner as a seaman. Lieu
tenant Corbett Bland, who has been
stationed at the Preside for two
years, is one of the 80.

parents tracked through the snow Of

rate was as high as seven and one
half per cent; from 1875 to 1877 the
rate was six per cent, and this
dropped to five per cent for the years
1873 to 1883. The lowest limit was
reached after a few years about 1900
when the rate was but three per cent.
This was afterward increased to three
and one-half per cent and the Janu-
airy, 1908. and subsequent dividentS
have been at four per cent. Dividends
are of course, declared and compound
ed twice each year, so that the one
just declared is really a two per cent
semi-annual dividend, which is slight
ly better than a four per cent an
nual.

them many years ago. Some deposit
tors pass the banking house every day
others are never seen except on dlvi-
dend days and some have not seen
the bank where their savings are at
work for them for more than twenty
years.
The Skowhegan Savings Bank is
an institution which could only be
filled up to it's present position by the
thrifty people who appreciate and
have a growing confidence in the men
who have been entrusted with its
management.
During the war this bank sub
scribed to the several issues of Gov
eminent bonds to the full extent that
its funds would permit, and with other
of Skowhegans financial institutions
performed its full part in all OF the
war activities.
