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.

"Klamath Falls Lineman Killed.
(Sjieelal Mrnatch to The Journal.) '"
' Klamath Fallf, Or., June 27. 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.

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

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
