Facts Facts
Why Mining is the Best Investment of Modern Times
I low cnn the Banker guarantee you 3 or 3i per cent interest on
your money? Does It not become apparent to you that lie must invent
your Money in an enterprise that will pay him not lew than 10 per cent
interest on Your Money in order to be assured a Margin of protlt?
Business statistic of the entire world conclusively prove thin fact,
That Your Money in the hands: of u Banker, Ib being placed in first class
mining stock, as it is conceded by financiers that mining stock is a legiti
mate company is now one of the Flrtt-CIai securities of the day.
There is a method in the Banker's way of doing business. Look
at tho many thousands of dividend-paying mines; they were at one time
mere prospects, some of them of uncertain future prosierity, yet perse
verance, coupled with an economical urn of the stockholders' money,
brought their Golden Treasures to the light of day, to Ihj distributed in
dividends to the patient shareholders.
The production of Gold is now the highest ever reached.
In ll02 the production of Gould amounted to LIMI.OOO.OOO, and in
1903 the production amounted to 1310,000,000.
And it is confidently computed by experts that the production will
reach the enormous sum of f'WO.OOO.OlO during the present year 1IK)4.
Thu above figure are the Facts that determine the Banker in
placing Your Money where he will draw from 'J.r to 1,000 per cent while
You are drawing your begrudged 3'8 per cent on the saiuc money.
N'W do you still wonder why Bankers are so wealthy, while your
nose is ever on the grindstone?
Friend, shako off your old Fogy ideas. Mining is as safe as bank
ing; if it were not, Bankers would not invest Your Money in mining
stock. ,
You have at good judgment in money matters as the Banker; then'
why not use your reason, and place Your Money where it will bring you'
the greatest returns?

SOMETHING DOING
RELATIVE TO RED BOY.
After a Conference Here E. J. Godfrey
Hastily Leaves For The
East.
There is something doing per
taining to the Rod Hoy mine. E. J.
(iodfrey and Receiver Thompson camo
in Friday forenoon and have been
iu consultation all day with people
who do things.
About noon Mr. Godfrey told a
Miner man that he would probably
be able to give him some interesting
information later iu tho day. At :i
o'clock, tho train not having then
arrived from tho east, Mr. (iodfrey
stated that there was nothing to
divulge.
Some negotiations were doubtless
pending that did not materialize,
and Mr. Godfrey leaves for the east
tonight. It is stated that he will
coufor with some of tho larger stuck
holders, presumably those iu Phila
delphia who have talked of buy lug
iu the property at tho receiver's sale,
to see if some arrangements can be
made for reorganizing and financing
tho company.
It Is kuowu that one of Sumpter's
successful operators is uow east work
ing on this deal, and the conference
here today was iu connection with
the work beiug doue Iu that direc
tion. It was evidently decided that
Mr. (iodfrey 'a presence is needed at
the mouey Infested centers east.
Wants Minister of Mines.
A strong movement has been
started io British Columbia to secure
the establishment by tbe federal gov
ernmneut of a department of mines,
with a portfolio to be occupied by a
member of parliament elected from
one of tbe Hritlsh Columbia constit
uencies. Tbe agitation to this end
Is general throughout the province,
and Is just now taking a moro tan
glblo form than at any tlmo iu the
past, when similar elforls have been
more or less spasmodic and certainly
futile. Tho campaign now under
way will be presented practically to
every community ill the entlro prov
ince and tho united voice of tho
people is thought to bo certain of
practical recognition. The situation
Is well summed iu a resolution just
adopted by tho Itosslaud Liberal as
sociation, reading as follews: "In
addition to home consumption anil to
partially manufactured products ex
ported, such us coke, pig iron, etc,
tho exports from the mines of Canada
in l'.)U:i wore 81,000,000, were con
trlbutod by the mines of Hritlsh
Columbia and Yukon territory."
