Wednesday, January 20, 1.904 THE SUMPTER MINER THE CRACKER JACK REPRESENTS THREE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES Mfttt SAFETY CONSERVATISM CERTAINTY w"w 4- It Not Infrequently Happe ns That a Western mine i advertised with more freedom in tho Kant than it is at home. Where thin is done there is ripe indication of lack of faith. While " a prophet may not be without honor except in his own country, a mine must oe aecorueu nonor in us own vicinity, or it is uencient in worth. .,. Those who live where mines are made knowthat it is not only tho likelihood of values that makes a mine, but the character and ability of the men bnck of it. ilJuaiuess management in the first requisite, because without keen commercial foresight the value of the property might Iw in doubt, but where ' there are reputations to be upheld it is a foregone conclusion that honesty in the directorate will Iw 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 lnterect is centered in mining, know that the management of the CRACKKR JACK CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINKS 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 fiict. ai. The Cracker Jack Is not a mine, but a group of mining claims, possessed of just ns much to recommend it as may be found on the North Pole or the Cracker-Oregon. Thu property is "young." A little later on the company can talk of assays, ami other things that will tendtn " enhance the selling price of slock. At present it In a mine of opportunity. It is a sate place to put one's money. It will hot earn right away. If it could tho stock would be selling at par, and it would no louger be a mino of opportunity for small investors. In the Kast U 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 reietit1on. What has been 'done on the Cracker-Oregon and what is being done in that mine most Oregon people kn'ow. ' 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 ntarted on the Cracker Jack. Work in two is being prosecuted. When these workings (have been driven a littlo farther we can talk of values. ftrit is it not better to buy stock now and profit hv the unrovcrinu of those values that overy mining engineer in tho Sumpter fields knows are there ? 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 nrrives ? To bo 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 huynt a highor price and receive less than you can secure now 7 ' i As One Knows, You Realize dozen back That such towns bh Sumpter are built on mining success.

Now they say that the Cracker Jack Is all that any of the other mines could be, and they declare that tho 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 lie ashamed of, and they'arv 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. Thev are not growing careless because the , treasury of the company is well supplied witn 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 Iw found prepared This company is willing that you should reap your reward from the eiruiugs of this mine.
