Supplying Public With Good Thing
Within the past fortnight a large
number of people In this city have been
Induced to Invest In the mining pros
pects In Nevada controlled and adver
tised by tha I,. M. Sullivan Trust com
pany. Only one of the three properties
advertised the Lou Dillon Is in or
near Ooldfleld. The only development
work that has been done on this claim
is the sinking of a shaft some SO feet.
The Eagle's Nest Felt-view property is
some 20 miles from Ooldfleld. The As
You Like It Is In ths Manhattan dis
trict, about SO miles distant.
Grave doubta have been expressed by
many people of Portland as to the ac
tual value of these properties. Here
In Portland practically nothing ia
known of them savs what is contained
In the letters, telegrams and advance
ments of the Sullivan Trust company.
In a ward. Investors have placed their
reliance on the veracity of the ownera
of the property, who aeem to be making
extraordinary efforte to Induce the pub
lic to buy stock. The president of the
Sullivan Trust company Is a man named
Rice, an ex-oonvlct who has served time
in Elmlra, Auburn and Sing Sing for
forgery. Larry Sullivan is well known
in thta city, where lie waa formerly one
of the owners of ths notorious Portland
club, one of the biggest gambling houses
In the northwest. Sulllvsn was also one
of the proprietors of the sailor board
ing-house in tbe north end which bore
the reputation of being one of the
worst crlrnplng-houses In the world.
In politics, Sullivan's record Is too
well known to need comment, innumer
able election frauds have been laid at
hla door and be waa regarded. In the
days of his political activity, as a past
master In the arts of colonising voters,
stuffing ballot boxss and working gangs
of repeaters.
These two men. Rice and Sullivan, are
engineering the Sullivan Trust company
and are now Inviting the public, on the
strength of their representations, to in
vest in their "mines." Those who con
template so doing must gambls notonly
on the value of the mining prospects
Into which they are putting their money,
but also on the good faith of Larry
Sullivan and hla ex-convict partner.
Stock In the three Sullivan properties
was first offered to the public some two
weeks ago at an average price of SO

nary common sense It waa apparent that
after deduotlng the expenses of adver

turns to the Sullivan Trust company
must be small. Liberal commissions

phers are required in Sullivan's office
at Ooldfleld to carry on the correspond
ence with prospective Investors. Nat
urally the question arose. Why, if the
properties are so good as represented.
Is the Sullivan Trust company spending
such large sums of money to induce the
public to bay whan tbe net returns to
the company must be -far below tbe al
leged market value of the stock?
Sullivan and. hla associates are cred
ited with ample means. Hs Is supposed
to have made a fortuno from hit In
terest In the Portland, club, and the
sailor boardlng-nouse paid large profits.
No doubt he could readily command the
capital necessary for tbe development
of his mining property. Whether, there
fore, in Inviting the public to Invest In
his properties he Is actuated by pure
philanthropy or by a secret distrust of
tbslr value, the Investor must deter
mine for himself.

by The Journal and Is published In fslr
