Road 70 Wealth.
The desire TO see something Of the famous
mining region Of the Rocky Mountains led

my summer vacation in the vicinity of the
world renowned Comstock Mines While
idiing about and absorbing, a: II were, in.
formation through the pores OF my skin, a
similarity OF tastes brought me into daily
contact with one OF the Flood, Mackey q
UBrien syndicate Of BONANZA Kinge, and
the ineleesnt but forceful philosophy OF
this great sccumulator OF wealth mnde q
lasting Impression upon my mind.
Sitting ,ne evening In his room and enjoy.
ing at once his quaint humor and his
fragrant Havana, ] remarked, "Csptain,
one Of the old proverbs recites that thore
is no short road to wealth. but you have
found one. You are still young man, COM
paratively, and are quoted mutimillion-
sire." yes" he SAID, "snd OF all the uu-
true savings some OF the proverbs pop
ularly supposed to embody the wisdom OF
the ages are the most false and misleading.
Look, for a moment over the list OF
wealthy men whose fortunes amount to $780,
600 and upward, and point out to me- II you
can, one single individual who has not ac-
quired his money by some short road to
wealth"
"The days Of man are few, and time is not
given In this age OF the world for men TO nc-
cumulate mucn wealth except by means OF
special openings, and by taking advantage Of
the nigh cuts" you may be right said,
but where one man succeeds IN reaching his
goal by cross country road, do not the
many fails' mo" said he "Didn't see
you starting out yesterday by the main road
to the camp on the other side OF the noun
tainY' "Yes,r said well" he replied,
you could have taken the trail over the
hills, saved probably two hours walking,
and reached the camp in absolute safety aud
certainty. only you did not know Of the
trail. II is just so ia business, the man that
wants TO travel with an OK team and ride in
the wagon, must 60 by the big road, while
the fellow who goes by the trail will get
there first, ond II there Is only one supper TO
be had at the station the cross country
traveller Is the one who will eat it. Take
my own experience, which is simply an H.
lustrntion Of the way every fortune has been
made. ] was keeping little store here and
barely making tongue and buckle meet
when had an opportunity to get hol1 OF

"But," said, prices here arc 80 high that
there is little chance for a man OF small
means" That's true" he replied, but
there are plenty of good properties about
here, and their success is only question of
means and good management. Then, too,
IL you want to do something in mines, will
tell you Of field where you eau do better
than here, aud ono that In my opinion is the

a. A,-sS n
before, think the best mining region in this
country" why" ] said, Ifs not mere
heard about itr' Because" he replied,
planting was the great absorbing industry
OF the South before the war. That region
during the war was the battle ground. and
miners were forced into the West, where, in
the meantime, the centre Of the industry
can get hold OF mines on the basis OF $780,
600 that in the West would be worth
Q million, and to make them success
ful you only need money to operate
and efficient management There you can
work out doors every day in the year; labor
which is high here is cheap there; fuel and
water are abundant, and the ores generally
In larger bodies, equally as rich or richer
than ours, and the cost OF mining owing TO
the softer walls about the veins and lower
wages, is less than one-quarter OF the cost
for the same WORK here"
Naturally was interested TO look up the
history Of the Comstock, and found that
stock quoted at IS co per share in the early
days OF operations ,old soon after a. high as
tlss) per share, and that upwards OF $780,
900, COO were paid cut in dividends to share
hoSers.
To knowledge OF these facts, and a sub
sequent thorough acquaintance with the
Georgia gold rfgio !, which my friend, the
Captain, has not overestirnated, may be di-

able reduction mills and the officers or the
company feel sure that at the same
time that you are furnishing TIE
funds to put the property upon paying

which have enabled every rich man in this
country TO reach his present position.
The stock l. fully paid up and non a'seT-
able; the total amount of stock Is SlOJO 10,
and $50, 000 OF this amount is devoted TO the
uses of the treasury OF the company.
The company has reserved the right to
