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

In effect, that voluptioness, avarice and
. pride, three particularly Insidious forms
' in which temptation works, may be
overcome, respectively, by fasting, lib

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

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. , ,

(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 HAVE A LEASE ON A PART OF THE FLORENCE
It was opened up by a man wlo got' caught in the
r financial" crash of last fall," 'and- after spending $30,000
found himself "strapped,"' and utterly unable to continue
work until he had reached the gold. 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.

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? . .., , .
THE GOLD MINE IS THE SHORT CUT TO WEALTH,
AND JUST NOW IT COSTS BUT LITTLE TO
