that by such a eoneolidation expen-
ses will be greatlY reduced, and much
larger profits secured, and it will be

duce eome gold for several years it
was these localities that gave Noine
its reputation. -
Now, according to licCowan,
danger threatens the people of this
country. Desperate purchasers of
nonpaying. claims there mid in the
Klondike have started to organize
companies with high-sounding titles
for the purpose of fleecing investors.

companies is mining, aot sclliuig
