Ohio railroad crashed Into a freight
tram which waa moving slowly on a
sldin.

The wreck was due, it is said, to tha
failure of an operator to throw a switch.
The east bound freight had received
orders to meet the passenger at tha
western limits of the Bellalre yard and
was moving slowly along the siding. At
the point where the wreck occurred
there is a sharp curve whloh prevents
the enaineer of east bound trains from
stielng more than a few feet ahead. Tha
passenger train ewung around the curve
very rapidly, being three hours late,
and should have gone on In safety on
the main line. The switch to the siding,
however, had not been turned and the
train shot on to tha siding and Into tha
freight. There was scarcely time to ap
ply tha brakes and no time for tha en
gine crew to Jump.
The two big englnea were reduced to
Junk. Every occupant of the smoker
was badly Injured. '

Who Decries Mining for Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron or Coal
As well despise searching for diamonds or plowing
tne soil to plant tns grains ana grasses oi toe neias.
Every dollar of metal money waa once beneath the sur
face of the earth. All precious metals and stones are
hidden In Its bosom, and unless some one bad digged
- them out there would have been no gold or stiver aoi
Urs In the world today.
That Man Is a Fool
Who will tell you that mining does not pay.
Innumerable instances of enormous profits are re
cord Jd in mining history. The -mines of the Comstock
Lode have produced 980,000,0)0"4ni; :old and sliver.
The stock of the various companies operating there ad
vanced rrom a raw dollars to raouious prices, urown
Point rose to $1,875 per share; Best and Belcher from
buo to i,66o: c;aiirornia aovancea irom ii..d to joo;
Consolidated Virginia from 11 cents to $C5. The Lead
ville district has produced in a comparatively few
. years over 1800,000,000. The mines of Cripple Creek
have produced" $160,000,000 in gold since 1891. The
Le Rol mine was sold entire In 1890 for $12.50. It has
since sold on a basis of $10,000,000, and tne stocK ad
vanced from 3 cents to $60 per share and paid as high
as t.OOO per cent on the first cost. $100 invested in
LeRol stock a few years ago haa since had a value of
$250,000, and nas paid nearly ijq.uoo in dividends.
Stock of the Home Mining company advanced from 30
cents a share to 126 oer share in seven months. Gran
ite Mountain stock advanced from 10 cents, to $76 per
share in two years and paid over $i4,oeo,ooo dividends
in a few years. The Independent mine of Cripple
Creek was located as a orosoect In 1891. A few years
later, after Having paid several minions in dividends,
it waa sold to an ungnsn syndicate xor iu, uuu.vuu.
The original Tonopah Mine Was located as a prospect
In 1891. It ha since produced $10,000,000; its stock is
now selling on a basis of $16,000,000 for the mine, and
there is now over $100,000,000 worth of ore actually
blocked out and in sight in the property.
That Man Is a Fool
Who will drudge along forever merely to acquire suf
ficient meant to protect him from the poorhouse ugle,
when, by a little "frugality, he could save a, hundred or
two dollars and do as did Mr. Robert F. 8eottof the
First National bank of Portland. Mr. Scott 'was em
ployed at $100 per month; ;He Invested $160 In mining
shares and alx months ago sold his stook.for $106,000!
He planted $80,000 in Portland income property and has
been "doing" the Holy Land all this summer. He will
circumnavigate the earth and return to this city to live
in luxury all the balance of hia life. '
$10,000 in a Day!
On September 24 our Mr. Poor, superintendent of our
mines in Siskiyou county, California, adjacent to the
city of Treka, bargained for 40 acres of copper prop
erty adjoining the Treka townslte. One day later he
was offered an advance of $10,000 for his bargain.
Farm land in the vicinity remains at the same price it
has been selling for 60 years, but because this strip
contains a copper mine the 40 acres popped up in value
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN JUST ONE DAT!
That Man Is a Fool
Who turns up his hose at a-deal like this. The soil
of that tract Is worth no more now than when our Mr.
Poor bought it from Mr. Herzog.. But the mineral be
neath the soli, now discovered for the first time, makes
it rich beyond compare. It so happened that Mr. Poor
was first to discover the treasure- of that farm. He
secured the ground and announced the reason why he
bought it. Then the "other fellows'' were astonished.
They looked it over and promptly offered Mr. Poor the
handsome sum of $10,000 to turn the property over to
them. Tnis is one of the featurea of modern mining
makes men rich quick.
That Man Would Be a Fool
'.V
Who would turn away from this richly laden land of
copper to the mountains and their timbers or the val
leys and their grains. IT IS OOLD AND SILVER AND
THEIR COPPER BROTHER THAT MOVES THE
WORLD. Iron and coal are their able allies, but GOLD
IS THE FATHER, THE PRINCE, THE KINO OF ALL!
It is the exterminator Of poverty and the foundation of
human Joy.
A Letter From Mr. Poor
We now own 2S0 acres of copper land on Beaver
Creek. In the famous Blue Ledge district. In addition to
this at Troka, and will soon be among tha large pro
ducers of copper on the Pacific coast. Of our latest
purchase, and of his movements at our, fold mines,
Mr. Poor writes us as follows:
"As vou know by my former letter. I secured that
Treka property at last and I may add that I got 10
aeres more than we at first talked of. Today, It may
interest you to know I have had an offer of an advance
of $10,000 over what we bought for, but, of course, did
not consider it When open up this mine, and begin
to ship pay ore. Champion Group stock will go to $1.60
euro, and be well worth it.' As the property lies along-'
side the railroad track, it will be but a short job to
open it.
"I am getting a good supply of mining timber out
for winter use, and will be able to rush work on tunnel
No. 4 by September 26. I expect to have ore slide and
tramway completed by October 18, which will do away
with hauling ore by team. Will employ Brlggs to do
our teamlngand hauling from Treka.
"Respectfully yours,
"O. H. POOR."
This sounds good to us. and then eomea the Siskiyou
News, published at Treka, adding this to what Mr.
Poor said:
"Tha Siskiyou News has claimed for a year that
there were big copper ledges within a mile or two of
Treka, and that- there would b more people and money
in the old town before many months than were seen
hero even in tha halcyon days of '61, Now comas an
Oregon mining company and backs up our faith with
good hard dollars.
"For several months O. H. Poor, superintendent of
the Champion Group of mines, ha been quietly tracing
a copper ledge on the Charles Hersog ranch, adjointng
the Yreka corporation line on the northeast. Mr. Poor
is familiar with tha Blue Ledge and Happy Camp cop.
per districts and insists that the ore from the Hersog
ranch la as good aa that from those famous districts
in every respect, and haa the advantage of a railroad
running; tight through tha property,
"Mr, Poor, acting aa the agent of the Champion
Group Mining company of Portland, some time ago be
gan negotiations with Mr. Hersog for a strip of land
through his ranch, including .several hundred feet on
each side of the ledge, amounting to about 40 acres.
Last Friday the com Dan v closed the deal. The oleoe
,1a 400 feet wide on the south end and 700 feet wide on
ine norm, ji)o ieuki runa uwvi inrougn me miaoie
from nor$h to , south, .and, the. Treka railroad runs be
tween tbe ledge and the co'Witr road. ;'
"Tha Champion Group" Mining1 .' will sink a shaft
on the ledge as soon a tha necessary 'machinery can
be got on the ;grouadnd.-will prospect the ledge in
(liferent places the whole length of the property.
iY"Thl deal begin a. ' new era for Treka. . There an
miles of copper cropping near tha town that have been
negieciea ior ine vuv generation ,wnen nouung dui goia
was looked for. And the nice thing about It 1 that tha
railroad runs right through tha copper belt and ore can
be almost dumped into the cars from the mouths of
the stiarts." , -
Work Began Yesterday
Work on the Siskiyou property began yesterday, and
there will be no let ud until we are shinning ore.' The
Champion Group management never start In to do a
Mhlng and then lies down to sleep in th middle of tha
job. we are pusning everything an along tne line, and
we believe tnat it win oe dui early winter when we
shall begin shipping ore from Yreka and then look out!
"I Was a Fool"
Will be the exclamation of many, when they sea our
took ranldlr selllntr at tl.ES the share, and within a.
year $8 to $5, and very likely up to $10. It will be tha
old. old story over again that It might have 0000!"
Coy Stock Now, You People of
Oregon and the Northwest
It never will be lower than it la todav. and tha HS
cent shares will soon be gone. Within a few days tha
price will be 75 cent, then a little later $1.00. Tou

rifling investment. Will you embrace tha opportunity,

The assay values of the gravel bars show that from SO cents to .$1.98
per yard may be saved by amalgamation. Assay values of sandstone de-,
posits run from 45 cents to $5.33 per ton. Figuring on the lowest valua
tion in all cases, the' gravel bars are worth at 30 cents per yard $26,136,000,
and at the least will, leave $17,424,000 net profit. The sandstone deposit will
be 45 cents per ton minus 25 cents for treatment, aggregating a net profit
- of $348,480,000 These figures resultfrom the lowest assay, while it may be
shown that tests in many cases greatly exceed these values, the former are
