To the Directors: New York, March 6, 1909,
I promlitcd last summer to make you sn estimate of the
' Klondike gravels to be worked by the equipment which yon bsve
been Installing for now ursrly two yesra and which will be
completed during the summer season of tbls year.
I shall confine myself to the main pay channel of Hunker
Creek, of Bear Creek, of Bonnnu Creek, wltb Its Important
trlbutarv. Kldorado Creek, and of the Klondike Valley between
Hunker 'Creek on tbe eaat, tberuoutb of tbo Klondike River.
This main pay channel la onntlnuoua In tbe valleys Jnst
mentioned, snd the equipment which yon bsve now nearly com
pleted will work the whole deposit s one mine by the hydraulic
method, whore that method N easy and suitable, and by dredg
ing where dredging Is more suitable.
I bsve been In constant contact with the fonr valleys sbovs
mentioned during tbs summer season of each year from 1K08 un
' tlr now, and I bsve during the last three seasons bad the ben
efit of tbe results of tbe continuous examination work of your
own engineers and added to by my own Independent observation.
In my estimate of net yield. I have selected from tbe areas
served by our equipment only the hlgber grsde deposits; these we
shall treat for obvious reasons before the still Isrge volume cf
' low grsde gravels. The lower gnede gravels, however, will form
a definite and very large Increment accruing naturally to our
operations atfer we bsTe worked ont the higher ground In the
. first twelve or fifteen years of our operations.
' I ii of tbo opinion tbst Wo shall find tba selected areas of
i btgh-grsda gravels aa follows:: Cubic yards.
. Bonansa Hllla (upper) 80,000.000
Booansa Hllla (tower) 45,000,000
Bonansa Creek Bottom (lower) j 25.000,000
Upper Booansa, with Kldorado Creek 10.0ii0.0oo
Bear Creek bottom 3,000,000
Hunker Creek Bottom 14.000,000

Gross $58,540,000
Net 3,9o0,000
Oroville and Atlln gravels 2,500,000
Total ....$48,450,000
Tbe above list of selected a real leaves out account tba fol
lowing very large low-grade areas, in which will unquestionably
be profitably treated by our equipment at a later stage In our
' Klondike operations: -

V Tomorrow (Saturday) in the stock; market pf New. York there
' will be. offered for sale through representatives' of Boston New
York anS Philadelphia Stock Exchange houses 700,000 shares of the
I. M':;'l'' ..YUKON GOLD COMPANY ;; ';..''
At not less than $5, or more than $7.50 per'share. The entire 760,000
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.' " y '
.. YUKON GOLD COMPANY
Is owned by the Guggenheim Exploration Company.
,Thc 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 Xhe 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 sifecess 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 1J07 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 cf 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, faming, earthquakes Qr "bad
times."
Third Because 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 unequalcd
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
heinis" 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 he 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 corporation wise, it will be of inestimable value to the whole
investment and corporation structure to spread through the land
into the hands of thousands of small and large investors a fraction
of the stock of their enterprise at less than one half of its actual
worth.
Two brief illustrations will show to all the horsc-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
Bcatty. 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 onefof the best experts on this form of
property anywhere, S. O. B; Perry.
"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 anyone
who desires to have them.
a
"D" is an outline of "The Group" enterprises and men, and is
printed for the purpose of allowing all to jnVlge 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.
4 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 the
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, 21 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 $.", 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 made 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 work1 they must de
pend for success, and I am convinced they are destined. to be win
nerssquare deal winners and destined to become great favorites
with the people, as from time to time the people mingle their sav
ings with the securities based upon the enterprises of this group.
While I do not yet own a share of Yukon stock, I have never
theless a tremendous interest in the success of this project of dispos
ing of this stock if it is the success it should be I increase my pow
er to procure bargains from the great captains of finance for the peo
ple' and w hen the 700,000 shares I have been instrumental in secur
ing 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 selec'ted 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, corisider 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 al! and 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. .

Mr. Sorres says that the cucumbers are
now of small size, but he expects them
to be ready for the market in about 14

Quite a firm tone Is ruling in the
poultry market at this time jjecnuse of
the smaller supplies than expected. The
trade has been able to dispose of all
former arrivals, and good prices are
ruling. In some Instances as high as
15o Is obtained for fancy coops, but the
general market ranges close to 14 He.
Steady trading Is noted In the local
egg market. Receipts are showing no
Increase, while demand Is heavy, both
from the north and from the local field.
Storage operations, while not heavy, are
showing some increase the bears
still being determined to pull the mar

For fancy dressed veal the market Is
In quite good shape today. Receipts are
not even liberal Rt this time, owing to
the press of farm work, and values
are ranging? from 8 to 9c. with sales of
good stock at both figures. Dressed
hogs are holding steady around 7 He,
although on tor two sales have hoen
made at a fractional advance from this.
Large hogs are hard to dispose of, even
around R and 6c: .
