The" Temptations That Assail Hu nianlty.'r formed tha thexna of an, ad dresa by the-Rev. J. H. Black, at Bt, Kraocls church ,. yesterday morning, rathef Biak- dwelt at length upon -the necessity for, a continual armor and weapons of defense against the' various forms Jn which temptations attack In dividuals according to conditions . and state of life, none being- exempt, aaylng In effect, that voluptioness, avarice and . pride, three particularly Insidious forms ' in which temptation works, may be overcome, respectively, by fasting, lib erality and prayer. . I .. fhm Mn 1 1 a vr.luntlmianj.aa la shown by history to have wrought - niore ruin and havoc to the human race than all other sine put together, saia Rev. Black. There exista in every human belne; an inclination to seek things which rleaa' the senses, whether . lawful or unlawful. History, as wen as everyday life Shows that people rirst rise to great neignts or poweav.na in fluence and then fall Into sins of Im purity, experiencing the Inevitable die ters that following their wake. If ex- cesses in eating ana annum; are avow ed. drunkenness and gluttonness ob viated, the graver evils will not axUt. Overeatls- Disastrous. " flain 'living Is conducive to longevlfr. The bid anchorites who the whole world . round spent their dsys tn fasting, lived to be 119 and 114 yeara old, some even attaining as great an age as 120 yeara Over-feedina; is usually the primary cause of premature death. Heart dis ease, rheumatism, liver trouble, and fat tv degeneration of the kidneys, may all be traced to errors In diet. And t, especially during tha lenten season, by fasting and by prayer, should ons of the greatest evils be overcome. - In a vivid word picture. Father Black portrayed the death of a miner, vainly clutching with dying hands. Ma bags of jrold. a victim of avarice, overcome on his war to the a-rave. While It Is law ful and proper and right for people In , the world to strive to possess the world's goods.' the desire to acquire more and more sometimes develops Into a mania of insanity, and gnaws like a : ranoer at the vitals of the soul until , it finally destroys the souL i 1 Young- people are not so apt to be r avaricious: they usually want monev i for what It will give them. This, fault more frequently fastens itself1 upon f elderly people, and should be met and combatted by liberality; In this way may money become an untold blessing . Instead of a curse. , , Different Matter for Man to Thrust Out Divine Power. A Sad State" was the subject of an Interesting sermon delivered by Rev. Lester C.

(United Press Leased Wire to The Oregon Daily Journal.) RAWHIDE, Nev., March 6. What is considered the greatest discovery in the history of gold mining in America has hcen made here within the last 21 hours. Rawhide Consolidated ground is the scene of the rich strike, which was made by the Big Four Lease. An assay of the 75 pounds of rock taken frohihe hoIefffhS$9,214 to the ton, the propdrtiotrof the nreta'ls behrg about one ounce of silver to two and one-half ounces of gold. Many think this strike will prove to be GREATER than the one made by the Hayes-Monnette Lease on the Goldfield Mohawk, ' which yielded $5,000,000 in 150 days. LEASES ARE NEVER MADE TILL THE MINE IS PROVEN. ; . , No one would pay rent for a piece of ground that was merely a prospect IT IS WHEN THE MINE IS DE VELOPED AND ITS VALUE KNOWN THAT A LEASE IS TAKEN1- THERE IS THEN NO ELEMENT OF CHANCE ATTACHED. Of course the rental is more than a shoe string, but so are the returns. . UP TO JANUARY 1, 1908, $13,722,000 WAS TAKEN .

We therefore secured the lease, after he had sunk 260 feet and crosscut 100 feet, installed a 25-horse power electric hoist, and provided ithe mine with all necessary machinery and appliances re quired in up-to-date mining, -and WE CAN SEE NO POSSIBLE REASON WHY OURS - SHOULD NOT PROVE EVERY BIT AS RICH AS 'f ANY LEASE EVER WORKED IN THE GOLD . . FIELD CAMP. " - The lease adjoinirtg ours has taken out considerable HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR ORE, and the man we bought from, had he not been crippled by the disaster ..that ruined hundreds of others, would not have sold his lease for lest than A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS! But the clouds burst, he was swafhped and was compelled to accept what Jie. could get. ,: WE ARE NOW OFFERING THE PEOPLE OF OREGON AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE IN THE MONSTROUS PROF ITS OF THE FLORENCE. It is the richest gold mine in the world. It wrested the palm from the great Mohawk last year, aad up to this time no other mine on earth has equalled its record. IT HAS MADE MORE MEN RICH IN A SHORT TIME than any FIVE gold properties ever did before in a like period, and the leasers are responsible for nine tenths of this prosperity. IN GOLDFIELD THE LEASERS ARE LOOKED UPON AS THE REAL MINERS. This forthe reason that they engage in that occu pation only when the ground has been shown to be rich, and never before, hence, those who "hook up" with leasers have practically no risk to run. THERE ARE MANY GREAT GOLD MINES IN GOLD FIELD, BUT THE LEASERS ARE THE PEOPLE ' THAT HAVE PAID OUT THE BULK OF THE DIVIDENDS! ' We say this, too, in the face of the fact that we own outright 100 acres of as promising property as lays -outdoors in that camp. We are confident that immensely rich mines will result from the development of this property, and if we had no lease at all would consider ourselves exceedingly fprtunate in having these five claims. They were found"' by a Mr. Anderson. He located and held 1hem until starved out by last fall's strike. He never in tended to sell. He worked in adjacent mines to pay his way while developing his locations. He hoped to demon strate their value, enlist capital and operate them himself. . But the , panic and the strike 'overwhelmed the camp. He dare not work on account of the mipers' union, and had a family in Los Angeles dependent trpon him for thejr daily bread. This was Mr. Anderson's predicament. This was ihe reason he consented to sell his claims. A considerable portion of the purchase price he took ia stock. He wanted .to have an interest in the ground, even if forced to part with its ownership, s he is one of our most enthusiastic stockholders. 7h . " . SF IP SI 1 a PAYABLE THROUGH BANK OF..

OUR STOCK AT 10 CENTS PER SHARE COVERS BOTH THESE PROPERTIES, And it( is fully paid and non assessable; There is no pro moters' stock, as is so common in mining operations and often so necessary. Every share owned by our presi dent or any other officer must be bought from the com pany precisely the same as any oilier stockholder buys his. This is the "square deal" method of opening up mines by stock subscription. NOT ONE INDIVIDUAL has any advantage over any other individual. Not a share is dis posed of except for developing purposes, and THE MAN DOES NOT LIVE WHO CAN SECURE ANY PREK--KRENeE OVER-EVEN TH E SMALLEST STO CK HOLDER. When this lease is completely developed, has paid all its dividends and its accounts closed, no stockholder will say that he has not been squarely, fairly, ABSOLUTELY honestly and decently dealt with. The same principle will obtain in conducting the affairs of our own claims, five in number, covering 100 acres. Those who buy stock at ( this time will be shareholders in both properties, and EVERY MAN AND EVERY WOMAN WILL FAITH FULLY RECEIVE EVERY PENNY, EVERY FARTHING, JUSTLY THEIR DUE FROM THE PRODUCTS OF EACH. ' And we feel sure that just as surely as the sun shines from, cloudless skies or raindrops fall from the heavens, just so surely will all owners of our -shares reap-V ten thousand fold harvest from his or her investment. From January -till the beginning of the strike, 1907, a period of nine months, the Florence and its leases gave forth THREE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS! In this is included four of the baby leases that had been in operation but two or three months, which "brings the average down, but there also is included TWO leases that turned out $1,000,000 and $1,250, 000! These help the infants out, and THE ORIGINAL FLORENCE SHARES ARE NOW SELLING AT $4.45 EACH! With the strike settled, they will rise to $8 or $10 be fore next fall. A thousand shares of our stock bought today at $100, and sold at $4.45 f er share, abouj 90 days from now, would be a surprise to, perhaps, some of our partners, but not to us. If we strike the chute as we believe we shall, then look out! , ROBERT F. SCOTT WORKED SIX WEEKS' FOR $150 - IN THE PORTLAND FIRST NATIONAL BANK. He invested that money. in, Goldfield mining shares. Iu TWO years he sold this , stock for $105,000, and is now touring the world with part of the money. It would have required 80 years and 9 months to have earned that sum at $25 per "week. He could have earned it. in a little over 40 years at $50 per week, but how many laboring men receive that much, and how many dollars would be left at the end of those 40 years when the man had paid his living expenses? . .., , .
