Wednesday, October 28, 1905 THE SUMPTER MINER THE CRACKER JACK REPRESENTS THREE ESSENTIAL QAULITIES (L SAFETY CONSERVATISM CERTAINTY A It Not Infrequently Happ ens That a Western mine is advertised with more freedom in the Hunt than it in at home. Where this is done there is ripo Indication of luck of faith. While a prophet may not be without honor except in his own country, n mine must ne acenrueu uonor in us own vicinuy, or u is (lencient in worm. Those who live where mines are made know that it is not only the likelihood of values that makes a mine, but the character and ability of the men back of it. Business management is the tirst requisite, because without keen commercial foreeiht the value of the property might ho in doubt, but where there are reputations to bo upheld it is a foregone conclusion that honesty in 'the directorate will le supple mented with honesty from the grass roots down, or, to be exact, with values that will be sufficiently profitable to make the property an earner for all interested in it. Those who live in Oregon, and whose interest is centered in mining, know that the management of the CKACKKR JACK CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINES COMPANY is tried, capable and of reputation. They are not novices. They are not pushing operations on the Cracker Jack group on hearsay, what they do is based on study, investigation and fact. The Cracker Jack Is not a mine, but a group of mining claims, possessed of just as much to recommend it as may be found on the North Pole or the Cracker-Oregon. The procrty is "young." A little later on the company can talk of assays, and other things that will tend to enhance the selling price of stock. At present it is a mine of opportunity. It is a safe place to put one's money. It will not earn right away. If it could the stock would he selling at par, and it would no longer be a mine of opportunity for small investors. In the East it would be well to tell about the Cracker Creek mines, but out here in the Sumpter fields the story of these proertica is too well known to cull for repetition. What has been done on the Cracker-Oregon and what is being done in that mine most Oregon people know. Those who will Investigate will And that the continuation of the veins (northwnnh carry the values up into the Cracker Jack. This means Intrinsic worth in the Cracker Jack group. It means prolltB later on, and profit means dividends. This is the Btory in a nutshell. Three Tunnels Started Three tunnels h ave been atarted on the Cracker Jaek. Work in two is living prosecuted. When these workings have been driven a little further we can talk of values. But is it not belter to buv stock now mid tiroilt liv the iincnvnrlnir of those values that every mining engineer ill the Sumpter fields knows are there i Is it not wiser to put your savings in a corporation that insures the safest kind of security and be among the "charter members" when the time of dividends arrives? To be brief : Is it not wiser policy to secure this slock while it is low, in order to realize returns on your money when the day of profits arrives, than buy at a higher price and receive less than you can secure now ? As One Knows, T 7" T That such towns as Sumpter are built on mining success. To talk of Eastern YOU fx.allZe conservatism to ynu wmld he time wasted. Notwithstanding, because you do vv viiv know, where sheer luck wins once, method and business management win a dozen times Therefore, the safest way is to follow the successful banner. The men back of the CRACKER JACK CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINES COMPANY have experience to guide them. They have had to do with the California, over in Cable Cove district: they have become known through the Cracker-Oregon, and their excellent service for the Golconda established a record in mining annals. Now they say that the Cracker Jack is all that any of the other mines could be, and they declare that the day is not far distant when this pronerty will be one of the big producers of the district. They claim that it will be a dividend payer that no stockholder need bo ashamed of, and they are selling stock in the Cracker Jack for the same reason they sold stock in the others. They do not wish to per mit anything to lag about opening and equipping the property. They are not growing careless because the treaaury of the company la well supplied with capital. They are looking forward to the time when they will need much more money for equipment, and when that time arrives they intend to be found prepared This company is willing that you should reap your reward from the eirnings of this mine.

The property is with you, and the reputation! of the men who offer you. this stock are represented by three monuments that will withstand much discussion the California, the Cracker-Oregon and the Golconda.
