THE SUMPTER MINER
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
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 good 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. Write to us for full particulars how you may become in
terested in a good mine for small investment, and we will convince you that every word we advertise is
tme. We can furnish you the best of references. Address

SILVER'S LOWEST PRICE.
Sells at San Francisco and New York for
47 U Cents an Ounce.
A New York dispatch, dated Novcm
Ik'I 'Jit, sayn: TihIiivV further declines in
the prices of silver lixed a new low record
in the history of the world. Silver was
tiioted hero at IT.'jcuntH per ounce, and
the same notation wan named liy San
Francisco. London dealers offered only
'-'I 7-Stl er ounce. !
The low price was much commented
upon in hanking circles, causing much
uneasiness anions e.Mirters and mer
chants of this country lining husinesn
with China and other points in the far
east. To bankers, however, the most
sinntlicant news of the day were the
cable advices to the effect that the,
Siamese government had instructed the I
mint to cease immediately the coinage! QTllPlQ FflP Al F
Coincident also with this development
was the decline totlny of silver at Bom
hay to a level several pointH below 1in
don. An interesting fcatuie of tlio drop
in silver vvhk the advnntage reaped by
lauudrymen and small mercluuitH of tlie
Molt street district through being able
to purchase silver bills at ho low a rate.
They Mocked dow n town today, cash in
hand, sending heavy remittance! to
friends at home. Mont of them were
surprised at the largo sums allowed for
the amount turned in.
A wire from Manila of the same date
says : Silver lias suffered a further de
cline in value. The government has in
sued a proclamation makini: tlieollicial
rate i!i0 for UK) gold. Tlie former rate
was i!,'0.
