Every Great Fortune Made by some Short
Road to Wealth.
The desire 10 see something OF the famous
mining region Of the Rocky Mountains led
me, several years ago, to pass a portion OF
my summer vacation in the vicinity of the
world renowned ComstOck Mines. While
idling about and absorbing, as it were, in
formation through the pores OF my skin, a
similarity OF tastes brought me into daily
contact with ope OF the Flood, Mackey q
OBrien syndicate of Bonanza Kings, and
the ineleEant but forceful philosophy of
his great accumulator Of wealth made
lasting impression upon my mind.
Sitting one evening in hisroom and enjoy.
ing at once his quaint humor and his
fragrant Havana, | remarked, Captain,
one of the old proverbs recites that there
is no short road to wealth. but you have
found one. You are still young man, COM
paratvely, and are quoted a multi-million-
aire.n Yes he said, 'and of all the un-
true savings some of the proverbs, pop
ularly supposed to embody the wisdom OF
the ages, are the most false and misleading.
Look, for moment over the list OF
wealthy men whose fortunes amount to S5O,-
600 and upward, and point out to me, il you
can, one single individual who has not ac-
. rs money by some short road to
wealth."
- ue days Of man are few, and time is not
given in this age Of the world for men to ac-
special openings, and by taking advantageof
the nigh cuts You may be right | said,
''but where one man succeeds in reaching his
goal by n cross country road, do not the
many faily' 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," said. "Well,n he replied,
you could have taken the trail over the
hills, saved pro ably two hours walking,
and reached the camp in absolute safety and
certainty, only you did not know of the
trail. 1t is just so in 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, and il 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 IL
lustration OF the way every fortune has been
made. l was keeping little store here and
barely making tongue and buckle meet
when had an opportunity to get hold of
block of stock in the then infant Comestock
Mines Il chewed it over for three days
and decided TO take IL in, and that
move lead naturally to all that have done
since, and proved the foundation OF my for
tune. l bought more stock, as | had
money; bought stock in other good mines,
and before | knew it / was well fixed"
But" said, prices here are so high that
there is little chance for man of small
means" That's true,n 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 a field where You can do better
than here, and one that IN my opinion is the
best on the American continent. l should
have gone myself TO it il had not been 50
heavily interested here that could not get
away. l refer to the gold region of North
Georgia. There is the first, an J. as / said
before think the best mining region in this
country" "Why" | sand, lis not mere
heard about itY 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
has become established. In Georgia you
can get hold of mines on the basis of $780,
COO that in the West would be worth
a million, and to make them success
ful you only nee1 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
~EI<tory of the Comstock, and l found that
stock quoted at GO per share in the early
days o. operations, sold soon after as high as
xleS per share, and that upwards OF $780,
OO0, 900 were paid out in dividends to share
holders.
To a knowledge of these facts, and sui
sequent thorough acquaintance with the
Georgia gold region, winch my friend, the
Captain, has not overestimated, may be di-
rectly attributed the formation of the At
lanta Gold Mining Company.
The company has carefully selected its
property, has placed in management OF the
same men OF experience, tried in the bus-
ness, and now places before you the oppor-
tunity to secure some OF its shares at fifty
3 per cent. of their par value, or $500 per
share. The money you pay for these shares
will be used in erecting complete and suit
able reduction mills, and the officers of the
company feel sure that at the same
time thar you are furnishing the
funds to put the property upon a paying
basis; you will be planting your own feet
upon one of these "short roads to wealth.
which have enabled every rich man in this
country TO reach his present position.
