8 THE SUMPTER MINER Wednesday, November 12,-1902 m ADVANCE ADVANCE If you want to make an investment in a mining enterprise, Investigate Ours. There is no system more fair and equal for all concerned than we have adopted. ADVANCE VJl YOU need not fear that the large interest will swallow up the small interest. All stand on the same footing and share alike in the product of the mine. Our company is conducted on the most eco nomical principles to insure goon returns. No man shall receive a salary unless he performs service beneficial to the company. Better pay two miners three dollars each for a day's labor than to pay six dollars for the services of a needless manager or superintendent. We can place you where the investment of a small amount of money will bring you large returns. We ask an opportunity of explaining to you our system of conducting a mining enterprise. We want to prove to you why and how we are bound to be successful. We want to tell you how to secure good mining stock at a low figure. We would not ask you to place your money where we would not place our own. Taking all things into consideration, we can offer you the best opportunity for investment that you can find anywhere. It does not require a fortune to become interested with us, where the indications point to speedy and most profitable returns. We are in this business to make it a success, and will do it by systematic development and good management. We invite the strictest investigation of our properties and our company.

Spain haa la-en the classic land of tlm mining" industry since thu timu of thu Phoenicians, and yet thu main use thu country makes of its rich supply of met als ia to sell them to other countries. The splendid iron oru among thu moun tains of thu north coast ia hematatite of thu liest steel gradu. There ia plenty of coal with which to reduce the iron ore, thu coal output in some years being worth as much as f HO.OOO.OOO ; but though Spain haa every facility for making all the iron and steel thu people need, moat of the cammoditiea aru imported. There ia only one other country that la a great producer of iron ore, and yet depends ukiu other lands to turn this raw ma terial into pigiron and steel. That country ia Sweden, which, however, has a-good excuse for selling its ore instead of making Iron and steel of it. Sweden has practically no coal, and therefore it is at a great disadvantage, for it is with out fuel to smelt its ores, while Spain has both ore and fuel in abundance.
