!.' V-.V " - Wednesday, March 2, 1904 THE SUMPTER MINER THE CRACKER JACK REPRESENTS THREE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES fy SAFETY CONSERVATISM CERTAINTY It Not Infrequently Happe ns That a Western mine in advertised with more freedom in the KhkI than it is nt home. Whore thin in done there ix ripe indication of lack of faith. While. 11 prophet may not be without honor except in his own country, a mine moat no accorded nonor in its own vicinity, or u ih iencieni in worth. Those who live wliere mines are made knnw(that it Ih not only the likelihood of value that makes a mine, but the character and ability of the men hack of it. Itusinesg management is the first reniHitu, liecause without keen commercial foresight the value of the property might lie in doubt, lint where there are reputations to lie upheld it is a foregone conclusion that honesty in 'the directorate will Im) supple mented with honesty from the grass roots down, or, to be exact, with valu'eH that will lie HUtllciently profitable to make the property an earner for all Interested in it. Those who live In Oregon, and whose interest Ik centered in mining, know that the management of the CltACKKK 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, hut a group of mining claims, possessed of just as much to recommend it as may be found on the North I'ole or the Cracker-Oregon. The property Ih "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 the stock would be selling at par, and it would no longer be a mine of oportunity for small investors. In the Kast it would be well to tell about the Cracker Creek mines, but out here in the Humpter tlelds the story of these properties is too well known to call for reiwtltion. What has been done on the Cracker-Oregon and what is being done in that mine most Oregon copin know. Those who will investigate will 11 ml that the continuation of the veins (northward) carry the values up into the Cracker Jack. This means intrinsic worth in the Cracker .lack 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 being prosecuted. When these workings (have been driven it little farther we can talk of values. Hot is it not better to buy stock now and profit by the uncovering of those values that every mining engineer in tho Hnmnter 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 7 To be brief; : Is it not wiser policy to secure this stock while it is low, in order to realixo returns on your money when the day of prollts arrives, than buyjit n higher price and receive less than you can secure now 7 As One Knows, You Realize That such towns as Sumpter are built on mining success. To talk of Eastern conservatism to you would be time wasted. Notwithstanding, because,yoii do know.. where sheer luck wins once, method and business management win a dozen ines Therefore, the safest way is to follow the successfnl banner. The men back the CRACKER JACK CONSOLIDATED GOLD MINES COMPANY have 1 1 per nee to guide them. They have had to do with the California, over in Cable Cove district; they have nei.uu... now n through the Cracker-Oregon, and their excellent service for the Oolconda established a record in mining annals. Now they say that the Cracker Jack Is all that any of the other mines could lie, and they declare that the day is not far distant when this protierty will be one of the big producers of the district. They claim that it will be u dividend payer that no stockholder need las 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 per mit anything to lag about opening and equipping the property. Tliev 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 I hi found prepared This company is willing that you sliould reap your reward from the eiming of this mine.
