It Is thought he then picked her body up and carried It about 100 feet to the spot where K was found. , -. The very crudeness of the plan Of murder stamps the murderer as an Ig norant country boy, but with the heart Of a brute.

Each, 25 per cent Down and 25 per cent per WdHth This money will be used to develop our own properties, as well as the lease, until every one of them is placed in the dividend class, and we are dividing with our patrons the monster profits that will most certainly be their reward. As was stated yesterday we would do , . v. ' We Began Cross-Cutting Today on the 250 Foot Level From the Chcdd Lease We have been enabled to do this on an arrangement With the Chedd management, as heretofore explained, , by letting these people sink a compartment shaft between our claims, (to be used by them for air purposes, as required by Nevada's mining laws,) at one third the expense to us it would have cost us had we done the work independently for Ourselves. Then their permitting us to crosscut from their level puts us ahead three to four months, and that much nearer the day of dividends, which cannot at best be more than three to four months from now. It may be much earlier than that, yet we are sure that those good friends who have so freely bought our 3-cent stock will be perfectly satisfied if they get their money back two or three times over within four months of the time of investment. v ' POSITIVELY THIS HAS BEEN A HURRICANE SALE OF THE BEST GOLD MINING STOCK Ever marketed on the North Pacific coast, and at so small a price that we have set the pace for all other mining companies that shall follow us. We take it that, hereafter, the people will be privileged to. buy the promotion stock of all new' mining enterprises launched on this market, and that never again will a favored few be let in on that class of securities at the starting price of 3, cents per share, and later the treasury stock sold at 10 cents or better to the world. Of course, all miners know that there must be promotion and there must be treasury stock, but why sell the promotion to a little coterie of often little fellows, and charge the great hearted ones who so patiently help to develop the mine a higher price for the shares they buy, without giving them a chance at the first issues? IVe Have Given this Chance and Dave Won a Mighty Victory Our secretary's ability has been taxed to the uttermost, every day this week, issuing certificates to happy buyers, and it is likely the work will not be lessened unti the sun hasset pn Sunday evening, and Then the 3-CcntDoor Will be Closed Never to be Opened to the World Again We caanot refrain from again calling attention to the fact that all these shares cover FOUR full-fledged mining claims, in addition To a lease on the most productive gild mine on the face of the earth on this globe in this world. It is the biggest Mine, it Is the richest Mine it is the monster Mine ot Christendom And our shaft is being sunk perpendicularly down to the vein that has created mining comment and gold mine wonder In every intelligent mining center beneath the stars. : s K ?.
