Tourmaline and
Gem Company
Is a mining proposition in a way, but It
is not to 6e compared with the or
dinary gold, copper, silver, lead or
otner mining propositions. This Is not
prospective.
You may or may not know what a
scarce and valuable gem the Tourmal
ine Is. Prince Henry of Prussia thought
enough of It to pay. quiie recently,
$30,000 for one specimen.
This property. In which we give you
an opportunity to became part owner,
is a producing property, and one tnat
should pay large and everlasting prof
its to Its shareholders. Furthermore.
It will pay them quickly, and should
be on a splendid dividend-paying basis
within twelve months from this date.
These dividends should Increase rapidly
year by year, and the value of one
share of this stock in five years from
now will be so large that wo believe
It will startle you.
In this proposition therdi Is no ex
pensive machinery to buy, no mills to
erect and only a few men are to be em
ployed. This is, perhaps, the easiest
and most economical mining to be done
in the state. We have thought enough
of this proposition to invest our own
money in It, and have Invested In It
every dollar we could possibly
spare. Our president, our sec
retary, and our treasurer are
personally Interested in the company
and will naturally do everything in
their power to put the company on a
dividend-paying basis In Just as few
months as possible. There Is onlv a
limited amount of stock to be sold at
any price, and we must urge you to act
quickly If you want to secure your
part.
Please bear in mind that in this In
stance you are not asked to invest In
a prospect or something that has to
be proven. We are proud to offer you
the chance to buy this stock, believing
that it will be the best investment you
ever made.
As you are doubtless aware, Cecil
Rhodes, the South African Croesus,
made his millions out of a gem mine,
diamonds, .and as you may know he
was instrumental in gradually raising
the price of these gems from around
bbout $20 per carat to about
e.r, carat; Th!s was done
by judicious advertising and by
$100 May Make You Rich
You can't figure the profits. You can buy one share of stock for $100 cash or
noa on installments. Par value $100 full paid and forever non-assessable. If
you can't pay cash you can pay $S down and $10 per month for eight months.
Let your savings work for you and help build up an honest industry. Bay
is many shares as you can possibly afford, but anyway get one share and
get It now. Tomorrow may be too late. We want every client or this of
fice and every bne of our friends to have at least one share of this stock,
md there are only a few hundred shares to be sold. Fill In the coupon. Do

Vast Fortunes in Gem Mining
In an article in a recent issue of BOOKLOVERS' MAGAZINE, entitled "The Invasion of the Gold Ships," Mr. Harold
Boice describes a mysterious fleet of steel dredges which have quietly been plowing wide channels through fertile valleys in quest?
of the yellow metal. No wonder that the operators are diff iden t about publishing the incredible data of their earnings. Although
the profits from the work above mentioned are enormous, the opportunities are not nearly so large nor sure as in Gem Mining in San
Diego County, which is now attracting such widespread attention.
The famous diamond mines in South Africa produced no stir until English capital and enterprise became interested in the
section. Just think of the fortunes which have been made from these mines. What are now the Premier Diamond mines were pur-
-pllpp chased from a Boer farmer named Prinsloo in 1902 for 55
'I The New Yorfc Sun of -January 28, 1905, says:
$500 invested in the Premier Diamond
Mine Co. in 1902 would now, three
years later, be worth $48,000
San Diego Tourmalines have, since their discovery a few years ago, been recognized as the finest specimens of this gem stone .
that the world has seen-r-second only to the diamond in point of brilliancy and carrying a high commercial value, it being reputed
that one company mined more than two million dollars' worth of tihese gems in the past three years.
Mr. Cassius O. McCarroll, perhaps the best gem expert in California, is field manager for the Mesa Grande Tourmaline and
Gem Company, which owns upwards of three-fourths of the known tourmaline fields of San Diego County; and it is not beyond rea
son to state that this company's output may amount to many millions within the "years to comi, the 'by-products alone being suffi-.
cient to pay all operating expenses. '

warmth and light of the sun. more
durable than the granite foundations
of the earth. In variety of colors the
Tourmaline combines the fiery red of
the ruby the magnificent green of the
emerald, the golden yellow of the to
paz; the deep blue of the sapphire and
the rich violet of the amethyst.
