CUDAHY TO GET IT ALL. Corner on Alaska Gold. NOW OWNS ALL OF THE BEST MINES. Its Property Worth $50,000,000 at the Lowest Estimate—Has Found the Mother Lode. Manens City Times. Chicago, 1ii., Aug. 4.—Jobn Cud- aby is at the head of a Chicago syn- dicate, to be capitalized at $25,000,- 900, which ia going to cwn, develop and operate nearly all the gold quartz mines in eastern Alaska which have been discovered up to this time. ‘The corporation will own mines the present value of which, at the lowest estimate, is $50,000,000. The prospective value, which can be known only when the work of deyel- opment is well in hand, may be sev- eral times $50,000,000. The organization is an outgrowth of the North American Transporta tion and Trading company, which ‘was incorporated five years ago ua der the laws of Illinois with a capi- tal stock of $450,000. It has two features, the business of common carriers and the sale of merchandise, and also prospecting for minerals. Jobn Cudaby is the largest individ- aal stock holder, and is understood to control a majority of the shares. He has personally directed all the matters pertaining to mining, while the transportation and the commer cial features were managed by the Officers of the company. HAVE PROSPECTED FOR FIVE YEARS. For five years the company has prospected the mountains of eastern Alaska for gold veins, employing the best experts that could be induced under big pay to go into that region. With ample means at command, the prospecting has been carried on sys- tematically in the high regions sloping toward the Klondike placers. While it has binted that good veins ‘were found, an approximate state- ment of their value is now made public for the firat time. The rich- mess of the placer diggings gives evowirmation to the probable enor- mous value of the veins behind and above the placer:. “All that I can tell you about the ‘oew company is that it is now being organized,” said ove of the smaller stock-holders of the North American company to the Times correspond- ent to-night. “John Cudshy has charge of that end and attends to all the detailshimeelf. London and New York syndicates have been after the property time and time again, but it will be kept in Chicago though Cubahy may let in individual foreignere. The capital stock will be $25,000,000.” “How many mines have you locat- ed?” OWN THE CREAM OF THE MINES. “How should Iknow? Ask ‘Jack’ Cudahy; he’s got the facts and Gigures. ButI do know that we have the cream. Our experts put ¢hem down as worth at the very lowest $50,000,000. It is not rea sonable to think we would have con- tinued to spend money for five years unless we bad found gold. Of course we can’t tell how deep down these veins run. If, as we expect, the lode @0es down 1,000 feet or more and @eta richer at the lower levels, which ia probable, maybe we will have to -add another cipher to the figures. With the facts presentod to the Placers, no estimate appears too wild.” “Do you think you have struck the mother lode?” CLAIM IT I8 THE “MOTHER LopE” “Well, I'll tell you. Everybody thinks he has got the mother lode when he strikes a gold vein in the mouatsins, and he’s got to spenda lot of money to find out for certain. Flood & Mackay, and Fair & O’Brien thought they had struck the mother lode in the Bonanza and the Com- stock, but they did not though they managed to clear $25,000,000 apiece. You might mention that tke Ameri- ‘canism ‘striking a bonanza’ was add- ed to the English language by the famous Nevada mine.

He was found busy in his office in the Rialto buildicg. “I prefer to eay nothing for publication at this time” he said, “I have just got back from my trip and I will not be ready to say anything on the eubject for a week, perhaps two weeks.” ineluds The Farmer J» In It. St. Louis Republic. The most pleasing feature of the present ba!l movement in wheat is that the farmers are lkely to be benefited fully as mach as the spec- ulators. This is not always the case by any means. Often the most notable ad vance of the year, based upen the crop totals of this country and of Europe and India, comes at a time when the farmors have already mar keted their product,and when wheat is in the hands of the exportere, millers or speculators. But this time the farmer is right in it, and the trade of the country at large is sure to feel the beneficent ¢ffecta arising from thie fact. ? That the farmer is fully awake to his opportunity is corclusively shown by hie action in the premises. His crop is harvested, and he is in a position to ship to market and real ize at once if he sees fit, but he doesn’t see fit. Hethinks wheat is going higher, and he accordingly holds his wheat until that momen when it seems to him the golden ce- Tealis atthe top notch. Then he will ship and sell, end country mer- chant and the city merchant and the commerce of these United States geuerally will feel the effects of the farmer's 'prospect. This is right and it is to be hoped that the farmer will be wise enough to size the market up just:right and take full advantage of it. He de- serves this unexpectsd wiadfall arising from unpromising crop con- ditions abroad. He 1s the producer, and the producer should always haye a seat at the first table when anything particularly good is on the bill of fare. WAR FLEETS. Ten Turkish Irenclads Are Off for Crete.— Sultan Will Not Agree to Evacuate Thessaly. Constantinople, August 4 —Three Turkish ironclads left the Darda- nelles Monday and a dispatch now announces that the second maval di- vision of the Turkish fleet, consisting of seven warships, commanded by Hari Pasha, bas sailed for the Island of Crete. Fears are expressed that departure of the Turkish naval division may lead to a collision with the interna tional fleet in Cretan waters, in view of the announcements of the foreign admirals that they have desided to Oppose by force the landing of Tur- kish re inforcements in the Island of Crete. The peace conference was in ser- sion three hours yesterday. It is said that everything has been ar ranged except the question of the evacuation of Thessaly. The Porte demands the partial retention of the territory until pey- ment of indemnity by Greece. but the powers firmly refuse to accede to the demands beyond the concession of strategic points north of the Salambria River The Most Fatal Disease.

AtJ. A. Trimble’s, druggist. at Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 4—The! steamer Olympia, from the Orient, ernment is seriously embarrassed financially, owing to the rapid pace or the existing depression in agri- | ply between Seattle and St. Michaels | eyjture, which the commiesion at-| tributes mainly to the general and persistent fall of prices and to ‘foreign competition, which is not likely toabate. The commissioners are very much divided in opinion with reference to a remedy for fall- ing prices. Ten of them, including Henry Chalain, president of the local government board, and Walter Humes Long, coueervative member of West Derby, signa supplementary report declaring their belief that measures tending to increase the value of silver would greatly assist agriculture, but no recommendation on this subject is signed by the com- mistionasa whole. The supple- mentary report expresses the opin- ion that depression prevails alike in protective and free trade countries, and is espacially severa in the United States; that heavy protective duties, when imposed in Germany and France, failed to give either country security against depression and suggests that the reason for universal depression may be found in the great monetary changes made in Europe and the United States in 1873 and 1874. Since the only countr.ei which appear to be free from such depression are India and Argentine, the framera of the fup- plem-ntary report contend that a prima facie cise is established for the assertion that the depression is the oateome of the appreciation of gold and tho divergence in the value of metals, which give an artificial advantage to prcducers in silver- using countries. While suggesting the aandonmeat of gold stacdard, the signers of the supplementary report propose an international cen- ference to arrange for the reopening of mints abroad and in India and the restoration -cf silyer either wholly or partial'y to the position it occupied prior to 1873. Ia conclu- sion the supplementary report in- vites the government to give effect to the resolution adopted by parlia- ment in February, 1895, in favor of such a conference. KLONDYKE BELONGS TO ENGLAND. Government Officials Find No Valid Claim to Gold Fields. Washington, D.O., Aug. 4—In- cited by the newspaper publications recently, tendisg to throw doubt upon the ownership of the Klondike gold fielde, some of the high govern ment officials who would naturally be expected to deal with the question if it comes to a practical issue, have been quietly looking into the matter with a view to preparing themselves for any controversy that might ariee. Their views are in substance that there can be no valid objection ad vanced to the title of Great Britain to this territory. A careful examina- tion of all the reliable charte and maps made far enough back in date to be free from suepicion of influence by the recent heavy gold fiads has convince these officers that so far as the Klondike fielde, as defined by the latest reports are concerned, there cam be no question but that they lie east of ths one hundred and forty-first meridian, which defines the boundary line, and so are within British territory by about thirty-five miles at least. As for the meridian itself, it ie said that it has been closely located by the aurreys of the Canadians and our owa coast survey and that there is not at any point a difference of more than 700 feet in the claimed boundary, which, of course, would not substantially af grow out of the title.

Whether in the form of pill powder or liquid, the doctor’s prescription for blood diseases is always the same— mercury or potash. These drugs bottle up the poison and dry it up in the system, but they also dry up the marrow in the bones at the same time. The suppleness and elasticity of the joints give way toa stiffness, the rack- ing pains of rheumatism. The form gradually bends, the bones ache, while decrepitude and helplessness ‘ema- turely take possession of the ly, and it is but a short step to a pair of crutches. Then comes falling of the hair and decay of the bones,—acon- dition truly horrible.
