Management Practical You wouldn't take your watch to a blacksmith to have it fixed. Neither would you take your horse to a jeweler to have him shod. Yet you would use .as good judgment in either case as you would to buy mining stock in a mine that was managed by ;i fanner or a preacher or any other business or pro fessional man who knew absolutely nothing about mining. !t takes practi cal mining men with sufficient capital, energy and time to develop and operate a mine. The Lee's Creek Gold Mines are controlled, operated, and managed by practical mining men of years of experience. 4 'V.-,lir.,i': - A BUNCH OF MISSOURI ANS That wanted lo see before Ihey pnt their money in.

Investigate Intelligently You wouldn't go to a lawyer to have a tooth pulled, either would you go to a dentist for legal advice. Yet you -would use as good judgment in either case as you would to buy mining stock from a promoter or broker who knows absolutely nothing about practical min ing. Your broker may be scrupulously honest in what he tells you, and j-et not know what he is talking about. Not one broker out of five ever saw the in side' of a mine, and wouldn't know a crosscut from a winze, or a bedrock flume from a sluieebox if he met them in the street. We attribute our success .to our practical knowledge of mining, and can give you reliable information on any stock we offer for sale. We can talk intelligently to your mining en gineer and back it up by sending you to see the property. Mining offers a safe and legitimate field for investment when you investigate intelligently like you would when you buy a house and lot, a horse and buggy or a stock of goods. v.
