When this com puny put Itself on record utul mild "WE WILL," It meant to do these things and IT HAS FULFILLED THESE PROMISES. Never has the Investing public hud u hotter opportunity of putting money Into a llrst-cluss mining proposition than that otfered by the GOLCONDA. From a rich mine needing improrements it has been evolved into a great miue id ready entering upon its period of GREATER PRODUCTION. WHAT THE 60LC0NDA CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINES COMPANY HAS DONE It la not what a company promises that counts; It is what it does. . Tho Golconda Consolidated Gold Mines Company does not come loforo investors now with merely what it will do. It can tell what It HAS DONE.

GOLCONDA STOCK AND THE CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR GOLCONDA Stock has lxou and is tho stock of tho conservative Investor. Its tremendous improvomouts, its original known value and tho fact that it will declare a dividend in April, uro proofs ouougli of Its intrinsic vuluo. Nowhoro in tho world of investments is stock liackod by more tangiblo worth thuu it is iu tho Golconda mine. This stock is COLLATERAL; it is secured by enough gold oro to pay dividends for a generation, and a milling aud hoisting plant woll able to turn tho latout wealth into niotnlio gold. ' As llxcal ngout I havo novor hesitated in publicly expressing my utmost conlldonco iu tho futuro of this great mine. I havo always considered that tho work accomp lished by Messrs. English aud Sou was merely preliminary. I consider their do- ' volopmouts mere scratchlngs that proved tho value of this property. Their work made a fortune for thorn, but the real values are now being uncovered aud tho enlarged plant will iucrcaso tho production of this miuo where it will pay dividends com mensurate with its mineral wealth. Stockholders buy lug stock prior to tho declaration of divldeuds will rocoivo tholr proportionate share of tho earnings. THIS IS STOCK IN A PRODUCING MINE THAT IS READY TO PAY DIVIDENDS Investors who rocoguizo u vuluablo security should procure stock NOW. Tho Golconda has boon brought up to an industrial period uud is in tho sumo ranks as uro the turgor aud mora prosperous manufacturing ontorprisos of tho country.
