DUN ANN, General Passenger Agent, to Market Street Cbe Canteen WINE AND LIQUOR MERCHANTS agts for Olympfa Brewing Company 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. ? Mining Science. 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."
