Truth
and Quality
appeal to the Well-informed In every
walk of life and are essential to per
manent success and creditable stand
ing. Accordingly, It Is not claimed
that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Sesna Is the only remedy of known
ralue, but one of many reasons why
It Is the best of personal and family
laxatives Is the fact that It cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal
organs on which It acts without any
debilitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from
time to time.
It acts pleasactly and natnrally and
truly as a laxative, and Its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all
objectionable substances. Te get its
beneficial effects always purchase the
genuine soannfactared bf the Cali

200 Per Cent Per Annum, We Are Confi
dent, Will Be Paid on all Stock of
li Florence Placer Gold Mining Gompay
OF PORTLAND, OREGON
Nearly every Pendletonlan, especially the old settlers, will remember the tremendous sums of gold taken
from the Florence Placers in Idaho, along from 1860 to 186B. The gulches leading down from the mountains to
Little Slate and Miller creeks, werefound to be tremendously rich in placer gold, and more than $100,000,000
were taken from them. At the base of the mountains is a level stretch of ground; 10 mites long and up to 1600
and 2500 feet wide. Into this bottom, for hundreds of years before the miners ever found the placers, the rains
and annual freshets had been washing this placer gold In Immense quantities, but the miners of that day could
not reach It because the ground could not be mined except with hydraulic elevators and water piped from the
streams five miles away. At that time supplies were first packed In from The Dalles and later from Walla Walla,
so It was impossible to introduce anything of a weighty character. ' :;
THE FLORENCE PLACER. MINING COMPANY HAS MORE THAN flO.OOO
POUNDS OF THIS APPARATUS IN TRANSIT TO THE MINES.
Besides a sawmill purchased from the Portland Machinery company. It Is expected that within three
months the flumes and ditches will all be completed, the. hydraulic elevator ready for work, and that the giants
will be playing on the gravel. Then the production of gold will begin, and continued except for the closed sea
son of about four winter months, for the next 25 years. This will afford a steady Income' to all stockholders for
the next quarter of a century, as we have 27 full claims, or 640 acres, and It will require all that time to mine
it out.
AS STATED, WE ARE CONFIDENT WE SHALL PAY 200 PER CENT PER
ANNUM ON ALL OUR. STOCK, AND THIS WOULD MEAN THAT
THE RETURNS WOULD BE AS FOLLOWS:
$250 Invested in 1000 Florence Placer shares at 25 cents the share, at 200 per cent per annum would re
turn to the investor $500 per year, or twice the amount invested In the stock. It would pay back $2600 In five
years, or enough to build a comfortable home; $5000 In 10 years, $10,000 In 20 years, and $12,600 In the 25
years we expect It wll lrequire to work the Florence Placers out.
$500 Invested now, at 25c the share, at the" same rate of Interest, would reward the Investor with an Income
of $1000 per year for the next quarter of a century.
$750 Invested now would mean an Income of $1500 per year during the life of this enterprise.
$1000 Invested while these shin es are selling at present prices, should enrich the Investor to the extent of
$2000 per annum; $20,000 In 10 years, $40,000 In 20 years, and the handsome fortune of $50,000 before the last
of the Florence Placer ground has beta washed out
$2000 placed in these shares now, at the Interest we feel positive we shall be able to pay, would profit the
buyer $100,000 If he should elect to hold them the entire period It will require to mine out this ground.
Loaned to the Bank at 4 Per Cent.
Two hundred and fifty dollars would return $10 per year, and $260 in 25 years. This Is $12,000 less than
our stock at 200 per cent per annum would pay In 25 years on an Investment of $250.
$500 out at 4 per cent per annum would return $20 per year. At 200 per cent per annum the return would
be $1000 per year $980 more than the bank would pay. At 4 per cent the bank would pay $500 for the use of
$500 for 25 years. At 200 per cent per annum the mine would pay, In 25 years, $25,000, or $24,500 more than
would be received from the bank.
Larger sums would pay In proportion, and we merely make these comparisons that It may be known that
the Florence Placers will reward their stockholders more richly than could be expected from the most prosperous
business, aside from mining, In the whole range of human effort.
THESE ARF THE FACTS ABOUT OUR MINES AND PROPOSITION.
We secured the property last fall from William Crandall, Just prior to his fatal Illness, he dying In March,
Had he been strong and young, (he died at 63,) he would not have sold, but we have these 27 treasures,, and
we Invite a few of the citizens of Umatilla county to Join us In paying the cost of equipping the mines, and we
assure them they shall have honestly distributed to them their share of every dollar we produce. The Integrity
of the officers are well known In Portland, and may be easily ascertained by any Interested person. Nearly every
attorney in the state knows Judge J. B. Cleland, of the State Circuit Court of Multnomah county, president of
the company, and others may feel free to Inquire of the Hlbernla Savings bank, of Portland, or of the banking
house of Ladd & Tilton concerning the standing of the Peaslce Bros., directors In the company. Nearly every
business man In Portland knows every man connected with the concern. The" treasurer, Richard C. Hart, Is the
government inspector of lighthouses, and has held this responsible position for years. This ought to be an ample
testimonial to this man's character. He also is the secretary of the company.
THIS SALE OF SHARES WILL END ON OR BEFORE JULY 1.
And may be discontinued at any time.-therefore If readers of this paper have any thought of Investing In
this POSITIVELY THE BEST AND SAFEST MINING PROPOSITION EVER OFFERED THEM, there Is not
much time left to think about it. Before we bought the ground we had It thoroughly tested, as only placer
mining property can be. AND KNOW IT I.S RICH BEYOND ALL HUMAN IMAGINATION.
