Show s- ' TO THE HEADWATERS OFTHE CONGO. Members of the Stock Kxchange Agitating; an Ktpcdltlon to Africa. Messrs. Davis, Carter, Bamberger, Stevenson, Treweek and some of the other members of the stock exchange went to hear Stanley's lecture on Monday Mon-day night and were so vividly impressed im-pressed with what he said of tho mineral min-eral possibilities of Africa, that they are seriously contemplating the organi- zation of an expedition to that country coun-try with tho Mountains of tho Moon as an objective point. The plan so far as it has taken shape in the minds of its inceptors, is to place Woolley in chargo of the enterprise and furnish him with 100 Zanzibar noblemen, who will carry back the gold. The only thing that seems out of harmony in the plan is the lack of consideration itshows for the Congo and Stanley listed on our own exchange. |
