Wednesday, December 16. 196$ THE SUMPTER MINER ii THE CRACKER JACK REPRESENTS THREE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES i fy SAFETY CONSERVATISM CERTAINTY m It Not Infrequently Happe ns That a Western mine in advertised with more freedom In thu East than it in at home. Where this ii done there 1b ripe indication of lack of faith. While a prophet may not be without honor except in his own country, a mine must be accorded Honor in tu own vicinity, or it is dencient 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. l)uslnes management is the first requisite, because without keen commercial foresight the value of the property might be In doubt, hut where there are reputations to be upheld it is a foregone concluxion that honesty in the directorate will be 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 CRACKER JACK CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINES COMPANY is tried, capable and of reputation. They are not novices. They are not pushing operations on the ;Crackr 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 ou the North Pole or the Cracker-Oregon. The property la "young." A little later on the company can talk of assays, and other things that will tend 1o 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 Ins selling at par, and it would no longer be a mine of opportunity tor small investors. In the East it would be well to tell about the Cracker Creek mines, but out here in the Bumpter fields the story of these properties is too well known to rail 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 find that the continuation of the veins (northward) carry the values up into the Cracker Jack. This means intrinsic worth in the Cracker JacK group. It means profits Inter on, and profit means dividends. This Is the story in a nutshell. Three. Tunnels Started Three tunnels have been started on the Crackyr Jack. Work In two Is bolng prosecuted. When these workings lliavo been driven a little farther we can talk of values. But is it not better to buy stock now and profit bv the uncoverinn of those values that every mining engineer in the Sumpter fields knows are there ? la it not wiser to put your savings in a corporation that insures the safest kind of security and bo among the "charter members" when the time of dividends arrives ? To be brief : Is it not wiser policy to secure this stock while it is low, in order to realiie returns on your money when thu day of profits arrives, than buy.at a higher price and receive less than you can secure now 7 As One Knows, You Realize dozen back That such towns as Sumpter are built on mining success. To talk of Eastern conservatism to you would bo time wasted. Notwithstanding, bucniitio you do know, .where sheer luck wins once, method and business management win a mes Therefore, the m fen t wav is to follow the successful banner. The men the CRACKER .IACK CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINKS COMPANY have i yrornce to guido them. They have ha I to do with the California, over in Cable Cove district: they have oe., nown through the Cracker-Oregon, and their excellent service for the Golconda established a record In milling annals. Now they nay 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 proerty will be one of the big producers of the district. They claim that it will be a dividend payer that no stockholder need lie ashamed of, and they are Belling stock in the Cracker Jack for the tame reason thoy sold stock in the others. They do not wish to er mit anything to lag about opening and equipping the property. Thev aro not growing careless because the treasury of the company is well supplied with capital. 1'hey 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 e irnings of this mine.
