ton Of good judgement we have sc.
cured. the ownership OF a very prom
isinq mine at Creede. 1t is an extension
Of the Amethyst and Hidden Treasure
lodes. These mines are considered
among the most valuable in the state.
The Amethyst company are producing
and shipping over $4,000 worth OF ore
per day and have over $1,000, 900 worth
standing in their mines. Owing to a
change in the course OF the great moth
or vein on Bachelor mountain the Anne.
thyst company have only about nine
hundred feet Of the ore vein, which it is
demonstrated by actual development
enters the south line OF our Happy
Thought claim, and extends longi-
tudinally 1900 feet. throughout our
property"
"What do you propose TO do with
valuable ore deposit in the Happy
Thought mine?"
"Well, we have organized a compa-
ny and obtained charter under the
laws Of Colorado, and are known as
The Great Republic Mining and Mill
ing Company Our capital stock is
81 200, 900, at the par value OF one dol.
lar per share. We have reserved
part OF the stock in the treasury,
and propose TO offer a limited amount
of it for public subscription at 10 cents
per share. The proceeds Will be ap.
piled to the purchase Of steam machine
nv to operate the mine and extract the
ore. Due notice will be given when
the subscription books are opened, and
in view OF the fact that we own LOCO
feet OF this great minerallzed vein, We
expect in a short time to enhance the
value OF the stock very materially"
"Does it require any special knowl-
edge or training to successfully operate
silver miner
"There is nothing mysterious or deep.
ly scientific about this
SILVER MINING BUSINESS.
The chief difficulty is to get a pay mine.
When this is accomplished the rest is
simple enough; il only requires a re-
liable supervising engineer and man
ager and honesty and economy OF ad-
minlstration to produce satisfactory re-
suits. Our property derives its value
from the geological fact that We possess
the extension OF the celebrated Anne
thyst, this being recognized and ac-
knowledged by all engineers and ex-
perts who have examined the ground.
i cannot understand why SO many east
ern people criticize and decry silver
mining, and express so much apprehen.
sion about the creation Of "oonanza
kings" The laws OF the United States
and the states in which the mines are
located are free and fair to all. There
is no unjust discrimination in favor OF
anybody, but when you catch your rab-
bit you have better right to skin him
than any other hunter has. lconsider
an investment in producing mine as
safe as government bond, and some OF
the Colorado mines are now paying
their 20 per cent dividends just as
promptly as the government pays its 4
per cent interest"
twill not such profitable industries
enrich too many people?"
mo nation since the dawn oil clvili-
cation has ever acquired too much
wealth. The present era Of peace and
prosperity in this country has resulted
directly from the accumulation OF in
dividual and national wealth, and the
consequent amelioration Of the con-
dition OF the working classes. Every
new mine discovered and developed in
the west brings into existence score
OF other enterprises Railroads, towns
and hotels are built, commerce is ex-
tended, and
AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS
are advanced by the demands OF each
new community. Poverty means mis-.
cry, and ultimate resistance and disloy-
atty to established government. Wealth
assures contentment and progress in all
the peaceful pursuits OF life. Having a
vast continent filled to overflowing
with all the elements OF wealth, our
people should continue the good work
OF developing and utilizing these rich
resources, and he will be called states
man and benefactor OF his fellow men
who points out and crystalizes into law
the best means OF fostering aud protect
ing such industries. Without a pro-
tective tariff all the millions OF tons OF
iron ore produced by the mines Of
Michigan would probably be lying in
the bosom OF mother earth to-day, and
the great industries which have built
up the Ohio Valley would have had no
existence. The mining and manutactu-
ring OF these materials has not inflicted
injury on our community. Neither
will the production Of precious metals
in the west harm any class OF people.
On the contrary it will add to our pros
perity, and in time make US the richest
aud most powerful nation on the face
OF the globe. Therefore say open the
strong box. and distribute with a lib
eral hand our mun:ticent gifts from
nature"
