j The United States government reports show that the mines of the United States in one year pro-
dueed $1,092,224,380, which sum exceeds. the total combined value of the wheat and cotton produced.
The mineral resources of the United States show a greater ratio of increase than any other in-
- dustry. 1 , ' ' 1 "
The profits of the mines exceed the profits of all the banks in the country. . r ;
i The annual dividends of the mines are greater than those of all the railroads of the country.-:.
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. We have three rich cross veins upon which we will;
now begin drifting. , We have one vein opened at intervals by open cuts, and there is gold enough
behind it to make a thousand people rich. Thousands in placer gold hare been taken from Placer
and Poticie Gulches, and , f
WE HAVE THE SOURCE OF THAT SUPPLY
We own the fountain from which it flowed. We own the seed of all that rich placer bed. It
was eroded from our quartz, and hundreds of thousands of dollars j of this virgin gold will be mined
from our eleven claims.
EVERYBODY WANTS MONEYAND MORE Of IT
We are in that fix ourselves. We want some more money so that we can complete the develop
ment of this mine, and then get more and more and a hundred times more. But while we are getting
.this "more" those who come in with us now will be sharing with us. We have paved the way.' We
have opened the gates. We have builded the fountain. All the hard and difficult work is done. It is
easy sailing now. The storms have been calmed, and the persons who come into this corporation at .
this time at 10 cents per share will be in line to reap the fruits of others' sweats and labor for many
years. ?," v. , ,
We Are Offering People Stock at 10 Cents Per Share That Ought to Sell at 25
Cents Per Share Today, and Will Sell at $5 the Share,
Within the Next Two Years .
This is a fact It is the history o'f every surrounding mine. Some are paying 1,000 and 2,000
per cent on every dollar actually put into them. 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. ' Ours
is a STRICTLY LEGITIMATE GOLD MINING ENTERPRISE. We have not spent this $50,000
ignorantly. We began with expert mining engineers and have them with us yet Our miners are paid
two-thirds of their wages in stock of the mine, and V
i THAT IS THE EVIDENCE THAT TELLS THE ST0RY .: ;
They know what they are doing, and WE know that we .are in possession of as rich mining
property as lies outdoors. ' "

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.
