no other mining; enterprise ever launched in Portland or this state lias met
with the instant success that has attended the sales of this stock, as many as
100,000 shares having gone to one customer, as well as several blocks of large
dimensions being taken by others. The fact that so many have seen this
mine, and have testified to the truth that it is better than represented, has
inspired confidence in the public, which is manifested by extremely liberal
purchases, and it is for this reason that we are announcing today that we
are likely to take the shares from the 'market so soon, and further that we
reserve the right of withdrawal at any moment. WE ARE CONFIDENT
WE SIIALL PAT AT LEAST 200 PER CENT PER ANNUM on every dollar

standing this, as they become acquainted with the richness of our 200 acres
and the fact that we developed 1' WO claims until their value became easily
understood before we offered a share of our treasury stock for sale. They
likewise see the possibilities of our lime quarry, which we believe will pay
us at least 25 per cent per year, and also the worth of our water powers
which we positively would hesitate to part with for as much as the entire
holdings of this company lias cost the corporation. .
