OVITT. THERE are many peo- ple asking themselves and one another the above question. We are all try- ing to make hay while the sun shines—to get our share of the prosperity that is in evidence on all sides of us. Every man who has stopped to think knows that the good times can't last. forever, and that a day of reckoning is at hand. It needs no great prophetic vision to cok ahead and sce the breakers: So the question—What is a Safe Investment? —is the all important one of the hour, and it is a difficult one for the investor to answer for himself. Almost all mining propositions look well, on paper, and read well, in the paper, and yet mines that will bear a searching investigation tare all too few. I regret td say that the gold mining invest- ment is looked at with suspicion in some quar- ters, due \to the fact that a certain class of boomers, by'theans of glittering promises, have fleeced people right and left, and brought legitimate mining investments into disrepute in so doing. The evil that men do lives after them, and I, for one, have had to work doubly hard-in some cases to break down the prejudices of those who misjudged me and my proposition. Tam a contender that the gold mine, if well stocked with pay ore, and managed in as con- servative and businesslike a manner as a well. conducted manufacturing business, will double discount any investment, according to money invested, known to the world uf finance. None excepted. ng Gold is a product that every man on earth wants, 8 any quantity at a fixed price. Compare that with oil or copper or wheat, or any other commodity. Tam fully sensible of the fact that I must shoulder the burden of proof and show beyond question that Iam offering stock in a true guld mine. That much accomplished, I shall have little difficulty in making my sales. Ina little over three years I have financed three successful gold mines, and brought them to the point where cach has a perfect equip- ment, and where each will begin dividend pay- ing in 1903, one of them in March. It would appear from this, that T must have done my share of breaking down a deep-rooted prejudice against the gold mine as an invest. ment that would pay. I think I may be given credit for this much astuteness, viz.: to realize that unless I “made good"—to borrow a. current expression —I would not survive, and that in place of it re- quiring an office in New York, ancther in Bos ton, another in Pittsburg, another in St. Louis, and almost the entire third floor of the Merrill Building in Milwaukee to take care of my daily increasing business, one small room, or my hat, would serve for office room. There were plenty of gold mines with gold in nd that ever, ernment will buy in jthem, that only lacked capital and efficient | manage went to make thetn producers, I argued, and I found it to be true. Tcontend that the afiswer to What is a Safe Investment ? is to be found in a book that I have just had published, which tells of the latest gold mine I shall exploit—the Cracker-Jack, This mine adjoins the famous Cracker-Oregon mine, which is one of the successful mines I launched in 1902. If the Cracker-Jack were only as good as the Cracker-Oregon, which it is a continuation of, it would bea great property; but certain forma- jons are shown on the ore ledge, and the condi- tions in general point to it as being at the very fountain-head of the mother lode. ‘This may not mean much to you until you acquainted yourself with the facts, as set forth in the prospectus, a book Tam anxious to schd you. : After reading this book you would quickly see thatif such is the case—we claim it is—this gold mine will surpass in richness even the North Pole, and the North Pole has been the bread- winner for the Barings of London for. years, paying over a million per annum in dividends. We feel almost positive that at the apex of the Cracker-Jack group of claims the ledge of the “North Pole” converges and joins our ledge. Surface indications all’ go to show this to be a fact. We are going to find out, and with alacrity, too—by means of tunnels and shafts. It will not take long, once we get going. Mining engincers do not, as a general thing, goon record over their own signatures as to prospective values, fearing the effect on their reputations in case of an error of judgment, but you will find in the Cracker-Jack prospec- tus where Warren Cable has prophesied that this, mine will be a greater than the Cracker- Oregon and likely a greater producer than the North Pole. Thave no fault to find with savings bank 3 per cent. per annum investments, Ifyou can afford to wait, and live long enough, nodoubt you will earn a few hundred dollars in that way. It is too slow for me, What I do counsel is this: put some of your earnings into this Cracker-Jack stock. Don't burden’ yourself, don’t bite off more than-you can chew, don't put all of your eggs into one basket, be a conservative investor. There shall be no attempt on my part to overstep the bounds of prudence in my advis- ing. Uhave found that my way of first sending my prospectus *+on suspicion” to a would.be purchaser of stock was the best plan to follow, and that it was best to have a thorough ex- planation of all matters before buying, rather than after, It's a safe plan. T have followed the plan of investigate first inall my stock selling—and shall continue to do so. Tt has not only made a friend of my stock- holder, but has. invariably sold stock friends. These advertisements are more on the order of heart-to-heart talks between friends than what they purport to be. There may be faults in the style, but I have a notion that T can make myself more clearly understood if I talk directly to the reader rather than at him. Lam in carnest—very much in carnest—and Isincerely trust that what I have said may ring true. I mean every word of it. I know that my proposition is a good one and that it is in capable hands as to management.
