EXPERTS' REPORTS

Ntw Tork. March 13. 1008.
Daniel Ouggenhelm. Esq.. President Guggenheim Exp Ior
tlo Compsny. 71 Broadway. New York City My Dear Sir.
I beg to hand you herewith report by Mr. 0ar B.
Perry on the properties of the Yukon Gold Company
Mr. Perry-, report la baaed on the results of hlsexamation
work, aided by a corp. of assistants. In the Klondike District
during the past three years.
1 hare studied Mr. Perry's figures with car. and have gone
over the reoort submitted by Mr. A. N. C. Jreadgold. who
has been In the Klondike District during the last ten seasons,
and l very familiar with the district.
Jn view of the foregoing estimates by Mr. Perry and Mr.
Trearfgokl I believe that the gravels owned and controlled
by the Yukon Gold Company In Yukon Territory should yield
upwards of fSfi.0Mi.n04i grfss value when the properties are
thoroughly equipped. I b-lleve that Mr. Perry's estimates of
:;.j4io.iO0 net profit, with possibilities beyond this, will b.
realised.
I am. very truly jours.

IROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT.
Th. Companv's f oldings in the Klondike District are lo
r.til on Cn.a El Dcrado. Bear and Hunker ereekswhlch
have a pnductlon record of approximately $100,000,000
The scheme Involve, absolute control of the J;Bnl'
creeks, the holdings being so distributed that no other large
seal operation Is possible.
To secure this position, the company ha. purchased sur
fllnt creek claims, and upper iev or bench deposits, to
control the mining situation, and Is How Introducing a water
svetrm and electric power plant, with suitable equipment, to
work Its holdings upon a large scale- at greatest possible
economy.
The previous operations In this district have been con
ducted almost entlrelv by hand methods and upon the small
arsle. Hence, the ratio of cost to gross extraction has been
exceedingly high. Former operations have been continually
hampered and the cost materially increased by the extreme
scarcity of water.
The equlpn ent has been designed with two objects in view,
first, by the Introduction of water and power to reduce the
ratio of cost to gross extraction, on the claims now owned
or to be acquired by the company, many of which have been
partly worked, and could be still worked profitably even by
the old and expensive methods.
The savings In operating costs will greatly increase the
net profits to be derived from these claims.
Second By the use of a continuous water supply and the
best possible equipment, to make available large area, of
gravel, which cannot be profitably exploited by tha old
methods. In view of the enormous volume of gravel avail
able, the possibilities of this phase of scheme are very large.
e
The engineers' estimates of the gold contents of the
Yukon gravels based on three seasons' work show a gross of
over $50,000.00.) In the ground examined. In the properties
either ownod outright or controlled, th. net profit' Is esti
mated at $3l:.0o0.000. further profit, due to probabilities (re
duction in cost, extension of working, etc.). estimated at
$4,000,000. making a total net profit of I3o.000.000.
The presence of rich gravel area, on other developed
creeks In the Yukon district within the present field of ope
ration, together with the expected increase in quantity of
gravel workahle as methods improve, make the possibilities
of the business very large.
To summarise, the Ytikon properties now being develop!
are estimated to contain 3.000.000 net profit. The California
and British Columbia properties add 12.000.000 net to thi".
making a total of $;:8,ooo.ooo. which our engineers consider
safety assured The portabilities of further development and
extension make it safe to assuma that the ultimate return
will greatly exceed this figure.

New York. March 5. 1908.
To the Directors:
I promised last 8umroer to make you an estimate of ths
Kltndlke gravels to be worked by the equipment which you
have been Installing for now nearly two years and which
will be completed during the Summer season of this year.
I shall confine myself to the main pay channel of Hunker
Creek, of Bear Creek, of Bonanxa Creek, with Its Important
tributary. Eldorado Creek, and of the Klondike Valley be
tween Hunker Cieek on the east, the mouth of the Klondike
R'VThls main pav channel Is continuous In the valleys Jut
mentioned, and the equipment which you have now nearly
rompleted will vork the whole deposit as one mine by the
hydraulic melhcd. where tha method Is easy and suitable,
and by dredging whore dredging Is more suitable.
I havo been In constant contact with the tour valleys above
mentioned during the Summer season of each year from
1MS until now. and I have during the last three seasons had
the benefit of the results of the continuous examination work
;f your own engineers and added to by my own Independent
observation.
In my estimate of net yield. I have selected from the
sreaa served by our equipment only the higher grade deposits;
thesa we shall treat for obvious reasons before the still
large -olume of low grade gravels. The lower grade gravels,
however, will form a definite and very large Increment
scrtulng naturally to our operations after we have worked
eut the htstfer ground' in the first twelve Or fifteen years of
our operations.
I am of the opinion that we shall find the selected areas
of high-grade gravels a. follow.: Cubic yards.
Uonanxa Hills (upper) , 20.000,000
Flonansa Hills (lower) 4S.O0rt.O00

Orovllla and Atlln gravel. 2.500.000
Total $46,450,000
The above list of selected areas leavea our account the
following very largo low-grade areas. In which will un
questionably be profitably treated by our equipment at a
Inter stage in cur Klondike operations:
Cubic Yards.
Hunker Creek bottom with its tributaries. Last

Hunker Hills and Lnat Chance Hills bO.000.000

Klondike Valley btlow Bear Creek 30.000.000
The lower-grade area, listed above are entirely covered by
the equipment now nearly completed, with the completion
of our main ditch during this year, in addition to our
dredges, elevators, power plant transmission lines and stor
age dam tall of which last aids to systematic working are
now ready for use), we shall be In position to treat the
Klondike gnu els In due course at a cost not far in excess
of that experienced in other known alluvial fields.
Yours faithfully.

Tomorrow (Saturday) in the stock market of New York there
will be offered for sale through representatives of Boston, New
York and Philadelphia Stock Exchange houses 700,000 shares of the
YUKON GOLD COMPANY
At not less than $5, or more than $7.50, per share. The entire 700,000
shares is treasury stock of the ,
YUKON GOLD COMPANY
Capital 3,500,000 shares, par $5 each, and is sold for the benefit
of the company. . , ' ,
YUKON GOLD COMPANY
Is owned by the Guggenheim Exploration Company.
The Exploration Company is one'of the group of corporations
known throughout the "world as the "Guggenheim Metal, Smelting
and Mining Group."
Among the groups are the following companies:
Yukon Gold Company.
Guggenheim Exploration Company.
American Smelting and Refining Company.
American Smelters' Securities Company.
Federal Mining and Smelting Company.
United Zinc Company. - "
. National Lead Company.
Owing to the huge capital of these combined companies hun
dreds of millions of dollars their enormous assets and great gross
and net earnings, and the business and mining ability combined in
the administration and operation of the allied corporations, this
group is recognized throughout the world as the Head of the Mining
industry. Owing to the extraordinary success of all companies
which have ever become a part of this group, the enormous aggre
gate of annual dividends, and the fact that the stocks of the dif
ferent companies have sold at tremendous premiums over their
flotation price (American Smelters, Capital $100,000,000, par $100,
sold in 1907 at $174 per share; Guggenheim -Exploration, capital
$20,000,000, par $100, at $326 per share):
The public have always eagerly sought ownership in any stock
bearing the label of this successful and powerful group.
The surest and choicest investment of the entire group has been
considered to be their Yukon Gold, because
First The product of gold mining is always worth at least 100
cents on the dollar in the money of any Nation, with the market
always unlimited.
Second Because "Yukon Gold" is a "dredging" and hydraulic
instead of a "deep mining" proposition, which means that it cannot
be affected unfavorably by flood, famine, earthquakes or "bad
times."
Third Becmse the quantities of gold contained in the Yukon
property is definitely known.
Fourth Because the cost of mining on this property could
always be accurately estimated.
Fifth Because this group had been liberal and far-sighted in
their expenditures for "the plant" to an extent heretofore unequaled
in any gold mining proposition in the world that is, this group
will have invested, when their present plans have been completed
(they are nearly complete now), $12,000,000 and three years of labor,
not only fearlessly invested, but so wisely, that if "The Guggen
heims" had accomplished nothing else in "business," this one effort
would have marked them as great public benefactors.
Sixth Because it was positively known that the enterprise was
an immensely profitable investment.
For the above reasons leading bankers have eagerly sought to
secure the whole or a large portion of the Yukon stock to offer to the
public. For the same reasons the group have always refused to part
with any of it. The only reason that makes it possible to secure.any
of this stock now is, first, because it is now a completed success, and,
second, because the group have been convinced that just at this time,
when the people are filled with distrust of all things corporationwise,
it will be of inestimable value to the whole investment and corpora
tion structure to spread through the land into the hands of thousands
of small and large investors a fraction of the stock of their enter
prise at less than one-half of its actual worth. (
Two brief illustrations will show to all the horse-senseness of '
this move; the amount of money lost to the group by selling to the
public 700.000 of the 3,500,000 shares owned by the Exploration
Company will be many times more than made by the increase in the
value of the stocks of the other corporations in the group.
The story of the Yukon's property and stock is told better and
more fully than I can tell it in the reports and schedules which are
presented herewith.
"A" is the sayso of one of the best known and most reliable and
responsible mining" and business experts in the world, A. Chester
Beatty. Mr. Beatty plainly and concisely tells of the property and
the two best who know most about it,' and they, in equally plain and
brief language, have told what they know. .
"B" is the report of one of the best experts on this form of
property anywhere, S. O. B. Perry. s
... "C" is the report of the man who has lived continuously with
the property since its discovery, A. N. C. Treadgold.
Mr.. Treadgold is an Englishman of responsibility, learning,
mining knowledge and high standing in Great Britain, America,
Canada and Alaska; he ranks second to no man on the subject of
which he treats.
?As "A," "B" and "C" duplicate themselves in places, and as
every word in my extensive advertising costs heavily, I have cut out
, the duplicate parts. The unabridged reports will be sent to any one
who desires to have them.
"D" is an outline of "The Group" enterprises and men, and is
printed for the purpose of allowing all to judge if such an aggrega
tion of business men and corporations would allow exaggerated or
unreliable statements to go forth about property and stock which
they, and they alone, own and control.
Before leaving Fair Finance, the first section of my work of
publicity, in the interest of the people and of capital, I would say
the methods of offering this stock to the public are new.
Not a share of Yukon stock will be sold to any one until the7
public throughout the United States, " Canada, England, Germany
and France have had 24 hours to read, digest and investigate the
facts and figures herewith presented. Then at the opening of the
New York Stock Market, that is, 24 hours after all have read this
statement, the entire 700,000 shares will be placed in the hands of
representative stock exchange houses with orders to sell to any and
all buyers who bid through recognized stock exchange or curb
brokers at not less than $5. nor more than $7.50, per share, and to
continue to sell until the entire 700,000 shares have been disposed of,
after which time the price will be the one iriade by the late comers
and those who have bought and who are satisfied to take their
profits.
In presenting this absolutely safe and profitable investment to
the public everywhere, and particularly to the 425.000 investors and
speculators with whom for so many years I have done more or less
business, I have this earnest say-so to present : I have personally and
thoroughly tested the worth of this property, and in my opinion it is
the best investment I have ever known. I have to the best of my
ability looked over and into the ""Guggenheim group" of enterprises
and the men upon whose ability, honesty and work they must depend
for success, and I am convinced they are destined to be winners
square deal winners and destined to become great favorites with
the people, as from time to time the people mingle their savingsx
with the securities based upon the enterprises of this group.
While I do not yet own a share, of Yukon stock, I have neverthe
less a tremendous interest in the success of this project of disposing
of this stock if it is the success it should be I increase my power
to procure bargains from the great captains of finance for the people,
and when the 700,000 shares I have been instrumental in securing for
the people at one-half or one-third their worth are in great public
demand at two to four times what the people have paid for them, I
will have added largely to my public following.
A parting word to small investors. If, after you have secured
some Yukon stock at from $5 to $7.50 per share, you are tempted to
sell at later prices of $10 to $15, you should weigh carefully before
doing so the possibilities of re-investing your original savings, and
what they have garnered for you, to as good advantage as in Yukon,
even at 10 to 15 per share, bearing in mind in all your calculations
that this investment is so sure, that the men of all men in the world
who know most about such investments, and particularly this in
vestment, have selected Yukon Gold for' their choicest permanent
investment, and that they retain four-fifths of it, which they will not
sell even at a large advance over what the public on Saturday can
buy it at.
A word to' Wall Street speculators : In determining how big a
block of "Yukon" you should take, consider what will happen to
"Yukon". with only 700,000 $5 shares outstanding for trading pur
poses (equal to but 35,000 shares of Union Pacific) when my friends
the public take it all aild insist upon securing more.. You and I will
agree the entire lot will hardly supply the demand of any one of a
number of us who in the past have never seriously balked at taking
on 50,000 to 60,000 shares of any $100 stock which looked half as
good as investigation will absolutely prove Yukon is.

LAWSON
according to his statements, is offering today a stock investment op
portunity of apparent merit. It may prove extremely profitable, and
then again it may not. It's a gamble; consequently a trifle uncertain.
LEMCKE
is offering today a close-in. West Side apartment-house site (corner,
50x100), commanding an excellent view one block from two carlines,
for $5000, and only one-half cash, which is positively as safe an in
Testment opportunity as it is possible to find. It's not a gamble it's
absolutely certain. Besides and that's quite an advantage, too
you can see tne value with your own eyes. That's something that you
