Brooke: — An Iceberg Trust. From the Chicago Inter-Occan. Within the next few weeks, if you happen to be gazing out over the ocean and s°e a huge iceberg go floating calmly by in tow of a puffing litle tugboat, you may set down that remarkable spectacle to mean that the “Klondike and Cuba Ice Towing and Anti-Yellow Fever Company” has got into working order. ‘The Klondike and Cuba Ice Towing and Anti-Yellow Fever Company is an organi- zation that is in earnest, despite the fan- tastic nature of its undertaking. It intends to make a serious business of towing ice~ bergs from the Klondike to such countries in the southern seas as are in need of re- frigeration or cooling applications, ice wa~ ter, ice cream, cracked ice for fever pa- tients, ete: 4 The idea of towing icebergs to market 1s. as unique in its commercial aspect as it will be startling in its optical effect upon those who are unused to seeing mountains girded with ropes and sailing docileiy along over the water at the pleasure of man and a towboat. Their value upon arrival at the antipodes is estimated on several peculiar assumptions: (1) That they will cure yel- low fever: (2) that when they melt away they will yield large quantities of gold, which will be carefully harvested, and (3 that they can be towed to their journey’ end without serious diminishment of size and value. It is all the scheme of some ingenious gentleman of Denver, Col., who has rosy ideas of possible profits. He say: . & “Our profits will be established as soon as we appear down there with a few ice- bergs to begin on. They will pay at the rate of $1,000 per patient, in cases cure. That will aggregate $410,000 per berg, if all goes well.” ——_—_+e-—_____ A Rara Avis.
