Death Rate of Miners.
The death rate of the mining classes
of the I'nlted State in said to Ik three
timcH greater than that of Helgluin, the
figures for that country lieinj 1.03 per
KMK), and for America HJO per 1000. The
eiuiHcH are not cany to group, though it
l reasonably surmised that iih wu iihu
t lie more machinery ami drive inatterH
with moru Hpeed, we aru more eiirelenH
and Ichh coiiHiileratu of hazards. In thu
year 1000 come 4,500,000 person) were
employed in the minion imliiHtricHof the
world at large. Great llritiiln and its
dependenciiH employed 1,500,000 and
about KV(H),(XM miners were at work in
American mineH. Tliu minority in thin
can' had iih large a turnout of coal iih Iiiih
had tin greater nuuiher. The difference
may he credited to several causes, hut
the inference remaiiiH unchallenged that
though we aru thu muni mechanical in
our methods, wo urolinhlutohu Uncare

Many Mining Made Millionaires.
The Calumet & llecla mine, in Michi
gan, Iiiih up to date paid t7H,H50,0O0 in
dividemlH, and yet it Ih hut a low grade
proportion. Tliu Amalgamated Copper
company Iiiih thus far paid $18,1 17.H00 In
dividends; the Ontario, of Utah, 14,
Hl'7,000, and the llnmcstakc, of South
Dakota, $ II, I7,".)0. Thu wealth to he

is cunriuniiH, iih the above HgtircH show,
ami those figures are hut a few out of
many that can heipioted. Any kind of
mining, from coal, copper, lead, silver
to gold mining, Iiiih made millionaires
out of men who were little hotter than

Money in mining, the big fortunes, is
made by developing Dromising prospects into
mines. I have properties on my list that can
be bought from $5,000 to .25,000 that can be
made worth $100,000 to 500,000 by the ex
penditure of from 10,000 to $50,000. This
list includes both
QUARTZ AND PLACER MINES.
I have also a few choice tracts of Oil Land
in the Malheur basin that can now be bought
at a very low figure. Or, I can locate you on
government land in the same district, that
may be just as good. Remember OIL HAS
ALREADY bEEN STRUCK.
Write me what you want and I will supply
you with just the kind of proposition you are
looking for.
