Tha acenea of the atory are set on ' the edge of the Arlsona desert, and the hero of the tale la Introduced to the reader aa he creeps Into Blue Gulch, a diseased, wracked outoaat, to be; from enough to take him back to Iowa, where "he can die In . tha open," Weatcott I v Ijp , Adellna Knapp, author of "The Well , on the Desert" "I am not rowing Into shore, but turning a very long skiff In a very narrow channel ' among the Thousand Islands." promises him the money, but as ha had 'almost sold the poor wretch Into bond age, besides robbing; him of a large amount or money, it did not suit him to nave this escaped prisoner at large. ,, even to die, and besides there was $500 , reward for his recapture, which would .come in very conveniently at that time. - So knowing the man was innocent of tne crime ror which he was lnatru , mental In having him convicted, instead of giving him money to return, he tele phoned for the sheriff to come and take him back to prison.

His wandering , 'off Into the desert Is one of the most distressing but, withal, picturesque por . tione of the book. Into it enters the . camel of modern legend the one lonely wanderer left from the caravan that Jefferson Davis Imported for the usa of the army when ha was secretary of war.'

Tha second part of the book deals with a more active and exciting life, and Into It comes the gentle and whole f"iM romance of the atory. The des ert, however.

You Are A Encouraging News Proven Permanency Within the past 30 days "The Clear Grit" property, about two miles north west of our Drooerties and "The Ama zon-Manhattan," about two miles southeast of us, both made rich strikes of good ore. These properties are on a direct line through our ground, nortneast ana southwest, and the big porphyry dyke, which runs through our properties, extends northwest to the "Clear Grit" and southeast to the "Amazon-Manhattan." The Pilot property, which is also in the class of late "rich strikers," lies north east of our properties, and recent assays from the Pilot show $17,639.77 per ton previous shipments gave values as high, as $30,000 to the ton. A line drawn north east from the ground of the Federal Company to the Pilot ground, would pass through our properties authentic -maps in our office establish these facts. The direction of these formations carrying high-grade ore are beyond argument and are established facts, proven beyond doubts by extensively developed properties, which are large producers and monthly shippers, with evidence of being constant producers by increasing their tonnage from time to time. This is a matter of record easily proven to the satisfaction of the most conservative. The permanency of the Coeur d'Alenes, wherein our properties and many others of world fame rep utation are located, is a well-established fact, recorded in the mining department of the state of Idaho. It is not a matter of individual or corporation say so, out a , "state record" and in spite of a serious car and fuel famine during the first half of the year, a serious labor famine during the middle period, together with the panic in metal values that was on about September and Cfctober resulting in clos ing down several of the principal producers; still the output shows a value of $22,165,191.34 for the year of 1907, segregated as follows: Lead, $12,470,341.74; silver,, $5,546,553.82; copper, $2,241,177-17; gold, $1,373, 031.40; zinc, $534,087.21; total, '$22,165,191.34. There are 600 live mining corporation nroperties in Idaho, besides the privately owned properties, many of them employii 400 men on one mine. Half of these properties are in the Coeur d'Alene district. A further illustration of the perma nency of Idaho as a mining state is proven by the production diiring the follow ing years: 1902, $8,839,134.96; 1903, $11,785,168.40; 1904, $13,421,288.97; 1905, $15,000,000.00; 1906, $24,138,317.03. 1907 fell a few millions short of 1906, on account of the car and fuel famine, the labor troubles and the financial panic causing a drop in the price of metals and the closing down of large plants in Idaho. 1908 will show a larger production than ever, before. " .' The above figures are a concentra tion of true hard facts indisputable and 'of record. Why gamble on some imaginary, maybe. might be, perhaps tuture ot riches, when you hare an established and proven loca tion of overflowing wealth? Conservatism, where is your judgment? Speculators, where is your percentage? We give proof for the conservative, by an established fact of record, and ?e give opportunity for the speculator by the addition records of large fortunes made in buying Coeur d'Alene stocks. Existing and Established Fads Good Common Sense It does not need any superior knowl edge or exceptional foresight to un derstand the merits of oar properties, and reach the conclusion that they are big money makers. All it needs ii good common sense and the knowledge of what has been done in the Coeur d'Alene for the past 25 years and of what is being done no. We have a copy of the Idaho state inspector of mines report in our office and that is where we get our figures they are facts written and recorded a state record beyond contradic tion. Come, in and see this report, or write to Robert N. Bell, state inspector of mines, Boise, Idaho. Perhaps he will send you a copy. It is only necessary to be able to read to learn these facts. Read and learn and take advantage of your knowledge. 4 ' . Common Sense Management The investor usually has doubtf as to whether or not his money will be properly expended in the channels most beneficial to the enterprise in which he invests, and on this account often holds back an investment whicji he would otherwise make. Now it is your turn to use a little common sense upon the following conditions. The management of this company is the heaviest stockholder and the success' of our properties will mean millions, and will make every stockholder proportionately wealthy. Can we afford to take chances on losing this success by being extravagant or careless in the expenditure of our funds?. Would you do it? What does common sense tell you? We are not "penny wise and pound foolish," and we cannot afford to sacrifice.' the large dividends to be derived from the development of our properties, just to squander a few dollars in "extravagant management." We do not claim extra ordinary knowledge, but we are not foolish enough to jeopardize a future of wealth. You would not do it and why should we? If you are "busted" and have no money, this does not interest you; but if you have money, get your thinker in working shape and turn on the current of common sense. Our Neighbors The "Clear Grit," about two miles northwest and Ihe "Amazon-Manhattan," about two miles south east of us, both made bisr strikes this month. A direct line drawn from the "Clear Grit" to the "Amaxon-Manhattan" must nass through our properties. The Pilot property, northeast of us, also made a big strike last months-its value went $17,639.77. A line drawn from the Pilot to the Federal Company's ground and the Bunkerhill and Sullivan properties would pass through our ground. Come in and let us show you maps proving these statements. Honesty of Purpose We own 11 claims, comprising 220 acres, located about one and one-half miles from Delta. Shoshone countv. Idaho, mere has oeen about $1U,UUU of work done on these properties, suffi-i cient to prove that we have the ore bodies in our ground, and that it only requires development work to open them up. We are selling treasury stock to develop our properties, because we are convinced that we have as much mineral wealth in our ground as any of the big producers and dividend-paying properties in our dis trict, and we have good reasons to think so. A number of mining engineers and old practical miners have told us so and are still telling us so and if you knew what we do about our properties you would believe as we do. The officers of this Company are heavy stockholders and 'tis dividends on this stdek that they want and dividends to them means dividends to all stockholders. The sale of stock means development of our properties, which in turn means the payment of divi dends. We do not claim to be controlled by a feeling of philanthropy, because it is our own interest as well as the interest of each individual stockholder, to reach our ore bodies as soon as possible but we do claim honesty of purpose, a 'clean, square, honest and conservative administration of the affairs of this company and an equality of profits to each stockholder, in accordance with the number of shares held. Stock Sale We are selling 50,000 shares of our treasury stock at 25c per share, either 'on all cash or monthly payment basis price will be 50c per share, unless, of course, we open up the ore bodies at an earlier date, then the price of our stock will be much higher, depending upon the extensiveness of our ore bodies.

Letters from Mr. Williams, dated September 21, contain the following: "We struck a bunch of very nice looking ore today; it is larger and finer than anything we have had. The tunnel is looking better every foot, and from Indications, we are likely to strike a big body of ore almost any old time. I find the original estimates of depth and distance are essentially correct. We will get a little more, depth, as the elevation at the mouth of the tunnel is 2,700 feet and the crest of the hill over the tunnel is 3,200 feet. I have not been able to determine fully the pitch of the quart lead, but from what I can see it won't vary much from the original estimate. This however, may flat ten up and pitch toward us faster than we thought, originally. Ill do som e work on that gold outcrop just as soon as we get things fixed at the tunnel, so they can push the work to advantage there. I wouldn't be surprised if I would be able to hand you a bunch of good news in a short time, if things . keep on improving in the tunnel like they have this week, for there has certainly been great improvement in the last five or six feet. The breast of the tunnd is looking very encouraging and is becoming highly mineralized; would not be surprised if we made a strike there any day."
