It Not Infif eqtiently Happe ns That a Western mine is advertised with more freedom in the East than it is at home. Where this is done there is ripe indication of lack of fnith. While a prophet may not be without honor except in his own country, a mine must oe accorueu nonor in lis own vicimiv, or u is uencieni in worm. Those who live where mines are made kuowthat it is not only the llkehood,o( values, that makes a mine, but the character and ability of the men back of it. Business management Is the first requisite, because without keen commercial foresight the value of the property might be in doubt, Imt where there are reputations to be upheld it is a foregone conclusion that honesty in the directorate will be supple mented witfi honesty from the grass roots down, or, to be exact, with values that will be aulliciently 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 Cracker Jack group on hearsay. What they dots based on study, investigation and fact. The Cracker jack Is not a mine, but a group of miniug claims, possessed 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, ana other things thai 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 be 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 properties Is too well known to cull for reiwtition. What has been done on the Cracker-Oregon and what is being done in that mine most Oregon jteople know. Those who will investigate will find that the continuation of the veins (northward) carry the values up into the Cracker Jack. This means iutrimdc 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 Cracker Jack. Work in two is being prosecuted. When these workings (have (been driven a little farther we ran talk of values. Rut is it not better to buy stock now and profit bv the uncoverinir of those allies that every mining engineer in the Humpter fields knows are there V 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 stock while it is low, in order to realize returns on your money when the day of profits arrives, than buyjat a higher price and receive less than you can secure now ? As One Knows, You Realize That such towns ns Sumpter are built on mining success. To talk ( Eastern conservatism to you would be time wasted. Notwithstanding, because you do know, where sheer luck wins once, method mid business management win a dozen mes Therefore, tlie SHfest wav is to follow the successful banner. The men back the CRACKER JACK CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINES COMPANY have 1'i'crnce to guide them. They have had to do with the California, over in Cable Cove district: they have oeum. nown through the Cracker-Oregon, and their excellent service for the (iolconda 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 property will be one of the big producers of the district. They claim that it will be a dividend payer that no stockholder need be 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 ier mit anything to lag about opening and equipping the property. They are not growing careless because the treasury of the company is 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 thiamine. Re one of the wealthy investors of the region if you like. The pioneers of other camps made their money through correct invest ments. They didn't make it hy wondering, nor by blaming fate for missed opportunities. They sought likely proposition and linked their fortune with them. It is simple enough if vou will but take the time to investi gate. The property is with you, and 'ihe reputations of the men who offer you' this atacjc are represented by three monuments that will withstand much discussion the California, the Cracker-Oregon and the Gbfconda. You know better than you can be told that, once valuable ore or extensivo ore bodies chance to be opened, the stock has a skyward tendency, and it generally stays up there. When the Cracker Jack has been devel oped you will be positive that it is worth your confidence, but the stock will be beyond its bargain period. Now your opportunity is that of becoming interested in one of the best properties in the district excepting none. Grasp that opportunity. Buy stock. Kuy it today. If you doubt, there is the property, and in the same neighborhood are the substantial testimonials to the worth and integrity of the men back of it. If the Cracker Jack group could be exhibited in New York, the necessary funds would be forthcoming in a single day. Were you East you would appreciate this truth. Then why not appreciate now ? What you invest now will help the Cracker Jack, and the development of the Cracker Jack w ill help you after a while. The benefit is mutual and the reward will be worthy.
