HOW 70 GET RICH.



The desire to see something OF the famous
mining region OF the ROCKY Mountains led
me, several years ago, 70 pass a portion OF
ny summer vacation IN the vicinity OF the
wtrld renowned Constock Mines. While
idling about and absor Ding. as it were. in

heard about ilF 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 torcei into the West, where, in
the meantime, the centre of the industry
has become established. In Georgia you
can get hold OF mines on the basis Of $780,
co that in the West would be worth
million, and to make them success
full you only NEE 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
han ours, and the cost OF mining. owing to
the softer walls about the veins ami 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 Cumstors, and | found that
stock quoted Mt $40 per share in the early
DAYS o. operations, sol1 so n after as high as
81 s } per share. and that upwards of $780,
000G00 wire paid out IN dividends to share
holders.
To knowledge of these facts, and sub
sequent the rough acquaintance wi the
Georgia gold rel 10 , which my friend, the

rectly attributed the formation OF the At
