Those who live where mines are made know that it in not only the likelihood of vnlucH that makes n mine, but the character and ability of the men back of it.' Husinesi management is the tlrst requisite, because without keen commerciul foresight the value of the property might he in doubt, hut where there are reputations to Iw upheld it is a foregone coneliiHion that honesty in 'the directorate will he supple mented with honesty from the grass roots down, or, to lie exact, with values that will he sulllclcutly profitable to make the property an earner for till Interested in it. Those who live in Oregon, and whose interest is centered in mining, know that the management of the CUACKKK JACK CONSOl.IOATKD (U)I.D MINKS COMPANY is tried, capable and of reputation. They are not novices. They are not pushing operations on the Cracker .lack group on hearsay. What they do is based on study, investigation nnd fact. The Cracker Jack Is not a mine, but a group of mining clnims. H)ssessed of just as much to recommend it as may be found on the North Pole or the Cracker-Oregon. The property 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 nway. If it could the stock would lie selling at par, ami it would no longer be a mine of opportunity for small investors. In the Kast It would m well to tell about the Cracker Creek mines, but out here in the Sumpter fields the story of these properties is too well known to call for repetition. What has been done on the Cracker-Oregon and what is being done In that mine most Oregon eople know. Those who will investigate will find that the continuation of the veins (northward) carrv the values up into the Cracker Jack. This means intrinsic worth in the Cracker Jmck group. It means profits later on, and protit means dividends. This is the story in a nutshell. Three Tunnels Started Three tunnels have been Btarted on the Cracker Jack. Work in two is lielng prosecuted. piWhen these workings have been driven a little farther wo can talk of values.
