THE SUMPTER MINER
THE CRACKER JACK
REPRESENTS THREE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES
SAFETY
CONSERVATISM
CERTAINTY
It Not Infrequently
Happe
ns
That a Western mine is advertised with more freedom in thu East than it in
at home. Where this 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
tie accorueu nonor in ns own vicinity, or it is tieticient in worth.
Those who live where mines are made knowjthat it is not only the likelihood of values that makes
a mine, but the character and ability of the men back of it. llusiucss nmnaiicmetit is the first
requisite, becauso without keen commercial foresight the value of the property might ho in doubt, hut where
there are reputations to be upheld it is n foregone conclusion that honesty in the directorate will he supple
mented with honesty from the grass roots down, or, to bo exact, with values that will be sufllciontly profitable
to make the property an earner for all Interested in it.
Those who live in Oregon, and whose intercut is centered in mining, know that the management of the
CKACKKR 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 fact.
The Cracker
Jack
Is not a mine, but a group of mlniug claims, possessed of just as much to recommend
it as may be found on tho North Pole or the Cracker-Oregon. The property in "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 tho stock would Iw 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 Humpter fields the story of these properties is too well known to call for reimtition.
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 later 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 lulng
prosecuted. When theso workings have been driven a little farther we can talk
of values. But is it not better to buy stock now and profit bv the uncovering of
those values that every mining engineer in the Horopter 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 arrives ? 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 huy'at n
higher price and receive less than you can secure now ?
As One Knows,
You Realize
That such towns as Kumpter are built on mining success. To talk of Eastern
conservatism to you would Ih time wasted. Notwithstanding, liccauso you do
know, where sheer luck wins once, method and business management win u
dozen mes Therefore, the safest wav is to follow the successful banner. The men
back the CUACKEH JACK CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINES COMPANY have
1 ''cr nee to guide them. They have had to do with thu California, over in Cable Cove
district; they have ocuui... 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 tholay is not far distant when this property will be one of thu big producers of
the district. They claim that it will be a dividend payer that no stockholder need Im ashamed of, and they aru
selling stock in the Cracker Jack for the same reason they sold stock in the others. They do not wish to er
mit anything to lug ubout owning and equipping the property. Thev are not growing careless becauso the
treasury of tho company is well supplied with capital. 1'hey are looking forward to thu timu when they will
need much morn money for equipment, and when that time arrives they intend to Imi found prepared This
company is willing that vou should reap your reward from the oiruiugs of this mine. He one of the wealthy
investors of the region ii you like. The pioneers of other camps mudu their money through correct invest
ments. They didn't make it by wondering, nor by blaming fate for missed npKrtuniticH. They sought likely
proposition) and linked their fortunes with them. ' It is elmplu enough if vou will hut take thu timu to investi
gate. Tho property is with'you, and the reputations of the men who offer vou this stock are represented by
three monuments that will withstand much discussion the California, the Cracker-Oregon and the (iolconda.
You know Ixitter than you can bo told that, once valuable ore or extensive out bodies chance to be oHued,
the stock has a skyward tendency, and it gem-rally stays up there. When the Cracker .lack has Iteon devel
oped you will be ositivo that it is worth your confidence, hut thu stock will he beyond its bargain period. Now
your opiMirtunity Is that of Incoming interested in one of the best properties in the district excepting none.
Grasp that opportunity, lluy stock. Iluy it today.
If you doubt, there is the prerty, and in the same neighborhood aru thu substantial testimonials to the
worth and integrity of the men hack 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 Jacl:, und the development of tho Cracker Jack will help you
after a while. The !enefit is mutual and the reward will be worthy.
