BUSINESS
Money in mining, the big fortunes, is
made by developing oromising 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.
