Yukon Gold
Thomas W. Lawson is alwuys unique
and refreshing. If there were only
some medal given to honor him who
adds most to the gaiety of the uations
the indomitable Thomas would un
doubtedly get it. A few weeks ago he
came out publicly and announced
that he was going to resign his self
appointed job of policeman for the
public. His resignation wa9 some
what pathetic. He rather intimated
that the widows and orphans whom he
had helpod across the financial street
and protected from the cruel, tramp
ling, iron-shod hoofs of "The System's"
rampant steeds had been a little
stingy with their tips. Surely such
a bravo, club-flourishing policemen
ought to have been liberally reward
ed, but as the tips were not what he
had expected, he was going to quit.
Henceforth the dear public must look
out for itself.
Last week he came forward with a
most remarkable advertisement about
"Yukon Gold," a Guggenheim enter
prise, urging the dear people to place
their money in his self-confessed, un
protected hands. Truely, thin is the
most unique man we have had in the
limelight for some time, and he cor
taiuly has added more real zest, to life
than any we recall. He has taught us
of the horrible danger in which we
daily live, being hourly pursued by the
dragon of Wall street. Hie epithets
and "pat" remarks have become house
hold words. His abrupt and slangy
diction is the envy of many a writer.
Even Presidant Roosevelt does not
hesitate to use the expressions which
ho has made common, such as "fren
zied finance" and "square deal." If he
has done nothing else he has helped
j fear away the rosy veil that erstwhile
adorned the rich, and shown that they
i also are men with like passions to our
; selves. And now, having proved to
his own satisfaction at least that rich
men are selfish and scheming, he
I comes forward and announces that
"The only reason that makes it possi
able to secure any of this stock now is,
first, because it is now a completed
! success; and, second, because the
group (The Guggenheims) have been
i convinced that just at this time, when
the people are filled with distrust of
all things corporation-wise, it will be
i of inestimable value to the whole in
vestment and corporation structure to
spread through the land iuto the
hands of thousands of small aud large
; investors, a fraction of the stock of
' their enterprise at less than one-half
| its actual worth." Is it not splendid
! to have such public-spirited men in
the laud as these Guggenheims? Of
course there are those who will find
the spirit that compiled the American
i Smelting aud Refining Company rates
aud the spirit that offers an iuterest in
this lino gold mine at half its value
rather hard to recoucile. Possibly,
however, we can help out any such by
calling attention to the fact that where
as the Guggenheims have invested
nearly $12,000,000 in Yukou Gold they
let the dear people in on the basis of
$17,500,000 to $20,250,000 ( 3,500,000
| shares capitalization advertised at
from $5 to $7.50). Is it not tine to be
great leaders of finance who can sacri
fice their personal interests to restore
public confidence aud at the same time
make at the rate of at least $5,500,000.
It must simply be ideal to promote
business which is patriotic and profit
able at the 9ame time. We who are of
commoner clay always have to show
our patriotism at the expense of our
profits. We do not, of course, know
a thing about the value of the prop
! erty advertised. We hope that it is all
' that it is represented to be, not only
1 because of the public, who have no
doubt taken up considerable of the
stock, but also on account of the Gug
| genheims, because they have had a
pretty strenuous time in the late "un
pleasantness," aud, rich men -as they
1 are, they probably need the money. ?

All new countries come up through
the same kind of tribulations. The
following from the Prince Rupert
Empire might have appeared in aoy of
the Alaska papers with just a few
names changed: "The postofflce at
Vancouver is managed by men who
are wholly lacking in common sense,
and they at times sorely try the
patience of the people along the
north coast of British Columbia."
