The United States census report for 1900 shows, for every man engaged, mining pays seven times as much as farming, five timesas -much as. lumbering and three times as much as manufacturing. The possibilities for enormous profits upon small investment in mining is unequaled by any other industry. .,:',:. . ., :" y ..;,-,f. ;..- , Mining stocks pay larger dividends than any other line of securities. -.. Mercantile records show that-the risk involved in legitimate mining operations is less than one tenth as greatas the risk involved in ordinary business pursuits. Last' year there was lost in banking $35,000,000, or more than has been lost in mining in 25 years. AMERICAN MINES HAVE PRODUCED 5000 TONS Of GOLD - That means three billion and forty million dollars. This has gone into the hands of comparatively few persons, because comparatively few own shares in gold mines. Thousands plod along earning a , scanty livelihood, when a little self-denial at the beginning a small saving of salary would enable the poor toiler to own a few shares in some profitable gold mine and ascend to a station in life above that of the hired slave. For example, Robert F. Scott, a clerk in the First National Bank of Portland, ; saved up $150 and invested it in shares of the Mohawk mine, of Goldfield, , Nevada, He held these shares two years and sold out for $105,000. At his salary of $1,200 per annum he would have worked almost 90 years to accumulate that sum. But he saved six weeks' wages, put it in the stock of a ' legitimate gold mine, and never need work again. , ' THIS IS NOT AN ORDINARY GOLD MINE PROPOSITION We have spent $50,000 on this property. We have several tunnels, some as long as 300 feet and one 400 feet. We have one dike 60 feet wide.

None pay as little as 10 per cent That interest would not be mining. It is not a gold mine's way. They are not so slow as that, and the great pity is that the poor have not gotten into the habit of investing their meager savings in the stock of LEGITIMATE gold mines and profiting by their immense returns, as do the men of wealth.

' PALE BOHEMIAN is the name of the best table beer that Is brewed on the Pacific Coast It Is made especially for the table, has that pleasant palatability that causes one to smack his lips and relish it with his meals. ' There was time when people were not familiar with the brewing of a quality beer. Then, they were not particular. Now it is decidedly different To say that PALE BOHEMIAN beer is brewed in Astoria wCl not mean much to many people. To the brewer of beer, how ever, It has a wonderfully intaresting significance." PALE BOHEMIAN is made nearer the sea than any other beer in the world. Chemists say. that the effect of salt air is excep tionally beneficial to beer because of its excellent purity. Hence the purity of the beer. . The salt air of the Pacific, blowing' through the cupola cf the brewery where PALE BOHEMIAN is made, not only purifies the beer as no other air does, but lends to it a delicate touch of the salt of the-sea.. The advantage of salt-air-aeration is found in its beneficial effect upon the health of the user. North Paclfl Brewing: Oompari i 211 McKAY. BUILDING. Main 2690. ' Phone Your Order. a:
