Murphy's Tribute, He showed that the labors that had first subdued and evangelised. Cnrls ttanlsed and civilised countries - like England and Germany were carried on by this same order of Benedictines that hud piar.teO its school at Mount Angel. He showed that if half the labor and wealth expended on camps and courts, arsenals and forts, on support of arm ies and navies, were spent on education of the human mind out of its errors the salvation of society were secured. He paid a high tribute to Mount Angel college and men who had gone forth from Its walls, and closed with some l.eautlful words of counsel to the stu dents about to denart from the circle of Its beneficent Influences. An eloquent valedictory was pro nounced by T'mbert de Martini, this closing the literary program, which was al) of a very high order: The college band playod . a farewell salute, the guests were served with refreshments at the rooms of President Frowln, and after -fond farewells and college yells the year's work was called over.

Ed ward Harris, a-lltteman. was killed by falling to -the ground while stringing vires near this city. He sustained a .fractured skull. He leaves no known relatives except a bro" whose where abouts are unknown. ... j . J We own It full gold and galena, mineral :laim, now ready for patent, in the wonderful Sho , shone mining district, Shoshon county, Idaho, and we have spent two years', time and $50,000 in procuring the ground -and developing it, .And now we have demonstrated that we have a mine and a - y - good one, and have placed 80,000 of its chares upon the market at JO cents each, and Every Dollar Derived from the Sale of Thee Shares Will Be Used fo Help Pay the Cost of Installing a Cyanide Plant and Further Crosscutting - J and Drifting on Already Discovered and'Known Hich Veins of Ore. j '- , . - : Ours it must be remembered, it a tunnel mine. We have no shafts; to sink nor expensive hoists to buy and operate. Miners will know in a minute the important, meaning there is to this. It ; contemplates less than half the cost of producing gold and galena, and, as if to round out its Splendor, .... .;.. ' v - ..' - , ' Ours Is Free Milling Ore, Effecting Another Saving of $8 to $12 Per Ton, as - Compared to Smelting. Then, again, our miners accept more than half their pay in stock, showing their confidence in the property, and even Henry M. Lancaster, of Wallace, the government surveyor, whom anyone may refer to, who surveyed and platted the claims, when the work was completed, asked that they be paid in stock. And if we had half as much money at hand as we have already expended on these properties, not a share would b offered to the public, but we have not scrimped in expenditures, and - while we have not been wasteful, we have kept up steam, desiring to reap a harvest in this short life of ours. We and Our Stockholders Want This Gold While We Live. ' No one ever says, "Wait a while; pay me the gold some other time." WE ALL WANT IT NOW, and that is why we are selling shares. We could go along two" or three more years, putting the profits of our business in the mine, and have it all to ourselves, but what's the use? We own all that mountain and there is gold enough in it to make us rich a dozen times, and our stockholders,' too. What is the use of iggishness of being a human swine? If the men of the world had bigger heatts the people of the world would be a thousand times happier. We are of the temperament that is sat isfied with enough, and this mine is going to put U) in that position, and if it does our stockholders must travel along with us and profit as much as w: do. This is nothing more nor less than a square deal and 9 The Poticie Company Will Be Run on a Square Deal Platform, or Not at All. This Is Not a Milk-and-Water Proposi : tion. It Is Pure Cream. It is a small quartz mine that does not mill at least 50 tons of ore per day. Most of , them if they make much pretension of mining treat 100 tons, but suppose we mine and mill only 50 tons per day of our poorest ore that $23.62 rock. In 313 days we have $369,653 in igold, or $69,653 more than enough to pay annual dividends of 200 per cent on an investment of $150,000. We have $50,000 in the mine now that is, it has cost us that much and we have no apprehen sion that it will cost another $100,000, or even another $25,000, to get us into the boom of dividends, so that , those persons who can take the time to sit down and figure a little can quickly comprehend the foolishness of working all their lives just to make a "comfortable living." 1 s ' No One Ever gets Out of the Rut of Scrimp and save by Their Daily Toil. , : These Are Sworn Statements. Idaho law requires rrfineowners to make an an ' nual statement of their profits and the mine produce tions. These were made, and the result published in the daily newspapers of May 5, 1908. From the list we cull the following, because we are in the cluster, all being in Shoshone county, we believe,-the same in which we are located. The report shows the profits of this small bunch of mines to be FIVE MILLION ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND THIRTY DOLLARS. Think of it almost SIXTY HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS from one county-alone of that wonder ful metallic state. It dazes a person to contemplate it A good and frugal farmer may lay by $5,000 per year, and " - r In 200 Years He Would Have $1,000,000. - " --. The Bunker Hill & Sullivan was the largest producer in Shoshone county last year, clearing $2,264,213. The Federal Mining & Smelter Company, operating the Last Chance mine at Wardner, the Morning mine at Mullan, the Tiger-Poorman at Burke, and the Standard Mammoth at Mace, showed a gam of $1,596,707 in spite of the fact that the last three mines were closed the latter part of the year and the others ran with reduced forces. . The only mine not a silver-lead producer, the Snowstorm, netted $454,288, and copper during the year was lower than usual. The Hercules mine at Burke "cleared $765,160, and the Hecla mine $437,188. The total production of the mines was $14, 622,313, and the total expenditures for Jabor, transportation, installation and maintenance ' of ma chinery was $9,502,484, ... ... The figures are taken from those of the assessor of Shoshone county and show an increase over last year. .; The Snowstorm increased $300,000 over 1906. The tonnage extracted during 1907 was 95,435, of a gross value of $1,396,257.82,. The cost of extraction was $216,393.03; cost of transportation $501, 112.20; cost of reduction and sale, $68,572.03; value of improvements at mine, $155,892.40; total work ing expenses, $941,969.66, This gives a net profit for the year of $454,238.16. 9 2.50 cash and ? 2.50 a month buys 250 shares., '-v, '.. , f 5.00 cash and 9.5.00 a mojtth buys 500 shares.' . :.( ' f .6.00 cash and"? e.OO.a month buys 600 shares. f 7.00 cash and f T.OO a month buys .

We are not given to boasting, but when we make this declaration, WE MEAN PRECISELY WHAT WE SAY. f- ' The Mountain State of Idaho Is One of the Great Quartz and Placer Gold Producing Regions of the World, and Its Riches in Silver and : " . Lead Are Almost Uncountable. ; ' It is a roost wonderfully rich mineral district, and it fortunately happens that the Poticie mines are right in the heart of the great mineral zone. When first discovered experts conceded that our would develop into a monster property, and offers to buy have come from all quarters. Only this ' last Monday, June 22, a gentleman called at this office and Offered to Put Up a Bond That He Would, if Authorized, Sell the Poticie Claims, Within 90 Days, for $150,000.00. And his commission would come from the purchasers. If he had named $500,000 the offer would have been just as promptly declined, If he had said $1,000,000 wg should have asked for time , to consider, because we believe that our claims are NOW worth that much, and we further know , that there are no better prospects on this earth for a great and profitable mine. I r Our Shares Ought to Sell for SO Cents Each Now. : ' They would be held at that price if a mining promoter had them. But we are not one 'of these. We are simply plain miners owning our own properties owing nobody a cent paying as we go having no false claims to make content with the wealth that Nature has provided for us in the Idaho gold mining region and glad we will have the privilege of making others as well as our selves happy. v . We Have a Lot of Healthy Assays. We have recently had made a few assays that show the wealth of our proposition. The first went $59.47 to the ton; the next $62.93; then $240.71, $23.62, $46.56, $108.56, etc. Now we want read ers of this advertisement to know that these assays are not picked ones ana are genuine, and if there be even one person, or if there be any other number, doubtful of their accuracy, and they will call at this office and see them for themselves, and then be not satisfied with their genuineness, and we can not prove to them that they POSITIVELY ARE GENUINE, by reference to the assayers them selves, we will present to each and every one of such persons 1,000 shares of Poticie mining shares ' absolutely free of charge. , . Friends, Do not Be Content to Curl Up and Sleep, Every Moment You Are Not Hard at Work. Buy Some Mining Stock in a Good, Le gitimate Enterprise, and t Let it Earn Your Living. ' If afraid to buy in this mine, buy in some other. If you imagine we are not reliable, inquire about us. Come to our office or write us and we will give you references that ought to convince the most obstinate, and will, we are sure, convince you. But if after all is said and done t If You Are Not Satisfied That This is One of the Best Gold Mining Propo sitions Ever Brought to Your Attention, Buy Some Other Good Stock. But do not let the opportunity go by to get stock from one or another of the square dealing; propositions now on this market, and start out on the road to prosperity. Get away from slavery. Abandon dr,udgery. .What's the use working hard all your life for the mere pleasure if a pleasure of. existence? Wake up, and when a good thing a splendid opportunityis offered you, do not rub your eyes until it has been snapped up by some other person and you compelled to continue your weary journey in sweating the hours away and toiling from dawn until darkness in wondering; what is to become of you when old age has crept upon you. . v "p:f:J" Basis of Purchaser .A?;S This stock will be sold for a short time only at 10 cents per share on the payment of 10 per cent cash and 10 per cent per month.
