. Now that the smoke has cleared away and we have had time to catch our breath, ,
the business of the Florence Central Mining company has settled down to every '
day transactionsnd we are eaabledo efinitelydiscOerJ!here,wejcelatiW
sold so many of these 3-cent shares that H. has taken a little time to tabulate them
and Index the names of buyers, but all this has been accomplished, and we take ad
vantage of this, the first hour at our command jto y
THIS IS A GIFT, OUT AND OUT, PURE AND SIMPLE, OP MR. SEVER TO
THE FLORENCE CENTRAL COMPANY, FOR WHICH HE RECEIVES NOT
: AN ATOM OF COMPENSATION.
f
WRITE A FEW HEART TO HEART" SENTENCES TO OUR STOCKHOLD-
ERS AND THE PUBLIC GENERALLY
In former advertisements we have said that "we have no secrets nor anything
to conceal from either patrons' or the public." 'That we most solemnly reiterate,
and for this reason are going to impart still further information to the people and
say some things we are confident will make all interested persons glad. It already
has been published that our lease oh the great Florence gold mine at Goldfield,
Nevada, which, by the way, it the richest gold camp in North America or any
other place on earth was secured at 'an expense of $5,000. This money was ad
vanced by George W. Bever, President of the Central Mining company, who also
owned, in his own name, the other four claims one adjoining the Butte Boys, one
in the famous Hart district and two at Silver Peak. To repay this debt the com-
Eany awarded .him shares of stock,' valued at 3 cents each, sufficient to cover all
is claims. These were the shares he marketed at cost price and enough were dis
posed of to repay the loan he made at the beginning, and as he desires to show his
r faith in this -lease and, the four additional claims be has transferred to the com-
pany, he has decided to make an , absolute gift to the corporation of this 75,000
shares of his personal stock absolutely free and without thought of compensation
or reward, other than the friendship of his partners in the mine and claims in
this free and frank manner, to-wit:
EVERY BUYER OF FLORENCE CENTRAL SHARES, UNTIL THIS 75,000
IS EXHAUSTED, WILL BE GIVEN FREE A SHARE OF MR. BEVER'S
STOCK FOR EVERY ONE HE BUYS FROM THE COMPANY, WHETHER
: - - ON CREDIT OR FOR CASH. ' ? .
As it was announced they would be, Florence Central shares are now selling
at 10 cents each cash or 25 per cent down and 25 per cent per month, but no matter
whether cash be paid or credit taken, this personal stock will go, share for share,
and without any charge of any kind, so long as there remains one of them to give.
And, of course, the stock is of the same value as any other the cornpany has
sold in the psst or can sell in the future. This generosity on the- part of Mr. Bever
really amounts to giving buyers of Florence Central stock two shares for the price
of one - AM shares, whether treasury stock now on sale, the promotion stock first
on the market, or these free shares so kindly donated by the President of the com-
pany, cover both the Florence Central lease and the four other claims alluded to
above. "' ' ,
WHY DOES MR. BEVER MAKE THIS DONATION.?
- This will be one of the first questions asked by every person who cannot be
lieve it possible that such would be done without some motive of a sordid nature.
Frankly speaking, there is a selfishness behind it, but it. is of that character bound
to inure to the benefit of every other shareholder as much as to Mr. Bever him
self. That motive is to hurry the sale of another 75,000 shares, that all money
necessary may be on hand to carry on development until the lease is on a .divi
dend basis and able to pay its own way and reward shareholders in the mine.
MR, BEVER SAYS: "WE HAVE ONEOF THE BEST GOLD PROPOSI
TIONS -NOW ON EARTH
but of what benefit is it if we do not take advantage of its richness? We must
mine this lease, and that means cash, and considerable of it at the first. To make
it an object for people to hurry up and buy this stock, now when we need the
money most, I willingly and gladly make this personal sacrifice. My stock is well
worth every cent of 10 cents per share, so I am making buyers a present of ex
actly $7,500. This will corrle back to me in a hurry so soon as we get ore, but while
I am being repaid all others are benefiting with me. This is the reason I make
this donation, and while it is intended and -expected to pay me to do this, every
dollar paid to me on account of the earlier day in which development will be com
plete, another and companion dollar will go into the pocket of every brother and
sister stockholder in the company." The clearness and openness of thm exnlana
tion will doubtless satisfy the curiosity of every reader of this advertisement and
IT OUGHT TO SELL THIS 75,000 SHARES OF STOCK WITHIN THE NEXT
10 DAYS.
In most communities it would do it in a day, but we perfectly know that citi
zens of Portland, not living in a region where mining is the principal industry, do
not understand these things quite so well as otherwise they would.
SOME OF THOSE GOLDFIELD GOLD MINES HAVE PAID STOCKHOLD
ERS ENORMOUS PROFITS.
And none on earth more generously than the Florence, upon which property
we hold this lease. No man has made money more rapidly than has Mr. LockharV -owner
of the Florence, and no man more richly deserves the smiles of fortune. ,
Like many another honest prospector, he knows the hardships of the mountain.
Now, however, he is far beyond all dreams of avarice, and it is the glowing Florence '
that has made him so. .. ..v
THIS SPLENDID LEASE, AND OUR OTHER COMPANION PROPERTIES,"
WILL HELP US ALL ALONG THAT ROAD.
We need only to improve them. The gold is there. We can mine it oat as y
others have, and a small investment id our shares, especially now that this' gift '
sale is on, will greatly help to pave the way to a less anjtioua and a happier life ia
all the. years to come. 4
IT IS A GOLD MINE SNAP FOR THE PUBLIC OF THIS NORTH PACIFIC
. COAST.'
We all cannot own gold mines, but he is indeed a poor man who cannot now .
possess a substantial interest in one. of the best that ever has lain hidden within
the bosom of this great world, and just to stimulate activity.
PRESIDENT BEVER SAYS HE WILL ADD 250 ADDITIONAL SHARES'
2,250 IN ALL TO THE FIRST PERSON COMINQ IN WITH
$100 CASH FOR 1,000 SHARES.
WhoU win this prize? Who is it that will" take $225 worth of stock for $100?
This extra 250 shares offer will not be repeated, and unless taken advantage of before '
5 o'clock next Saturday afternoon will be entirely withdrawn that is, the extra 250
offer will be withdrawn. 1
POSITIVELY NEVER NEVER WHILE HUMANITY SEEKS THE EARTH
FOR HIDDEN GOLD WILL ANOTHER SUCH OPPORTUNITY
BE GIVEN TO LEGITIMATELY GET RICH QUICK. ,
Mining is the only occupation on earth whereby one can honestly accumulate
$1,000,000. The pathway of trade is today paved with falsehood and deception. The
commercial spirit has murdered truth and sadly wounded honor. There is not com- V
petition in the gold mine business. However rich one operator may become, he ia -not
thereby impoverishing . another, but is adding to the joyand happiness of the -world.
We invite the reader to join with us in this lofty, clean, and magnificent T
aspiration an aspiration to become independent of poverty to acquire riches from
the fountain-head.
Shares 10c Each; 25 per Cent Down and 25 per Cent per Month, and a Private Bonus of Share for Share Until 75,000 Are Disposed of.
Incorporated under the laws of
Oregon for $1,000,000, divided into
1,000,000 shares of the par value of $1
each, fully paid and non-assessable.

The New and Certain Cure for i impondero-therapy
MGJMATOSjM
( .... '
Probably no physical ailment to which mankind is subject is more distressing and dangerous than rheumatism. It is most insidious in its approach
and action, and no organ or nerve of the body is exempt from its attack. Unless it is recognized at once and proper methods instituted to
eradicate it from the system it quickly obtains a firm hold upon its victim, depleting the fiberous tissues, inflaming the joints, contracting the
muscles, racking the body with severe and constant pain and frequently resulting in paralysis of the parts affected. The presence of foreign
substances in the body-rusually the waste products of the body itself-is resented by nature. If the kidneys and other functionai organs fail to
operate properly the one and lactic acids formed ia the body are reabsorbed into the system with every pulsation of the heart. Rheumatism,
with its kindred scourges, saatica and neuralgia, are the logical result. The uric poison collects until all of it cannot be held in solution by the
blood, when it crystallizes in different parts of the body and sends forth the keenest pain and suffering the agonizing pains of rheumatism, gout
and larabago. Frequently the eyesight becomes impaired tad injured by the irritating effect of uric acid upon the muscular tissues tt the eye.
