Its best friend does not expect increase in div
idend, while many claim 1t hardly what it
pays.
The dividend was reduced in 1884, from $ per
cent to 81, per cent, and only as late as 1892 Il
small reduction made.
Millions Of dollars Of "boins and mort .rrges
ahead of this stock, and before 81 dividend
be paid the company Is Obliged TO- pay interest
and rentals On 1877 mules of leased lines while
ihey only own $40 of their own.
New York state has just appropriated nine
millions of dollars to enlarge the cnnais ami I'M
prove facilities for carrying freight AF wateS.
This is aDother menace to the dividend of the
stockholders of the New YUFk~Ceai rs II, Il. c.,
aid in almost every other corporation may be
found serious If provided S5u looisFfor it.
Can you not see that you wager $4,000 in gold
to win $500?

5HE RISK OF LOSS Is REDGCED TO NOTHING,
BECAUSE THE COOPERATION UNDER OUR
ILAN OF so MUCH ,C.u1r.NT1 WOULD ALLOW

Inc prestige OF the firm of L. T. Ward J. Co.
has brought them of applca lions to develop
buy, lease and operate mining properties all
this country. Some of them are undeniabiy good
AS an example, one company having Il capital stock
of one million of dollars had close down for lack
of funds fer further development. They ungues-
tioIably had the ore, but the stockholders at the
mine were broke and the eastern contributors were
Disguised because the first money advanced did not

Do You Il ink dozen of such propositions after
careful examination by our IcxpGSts and engineers,
and approved by Is, could tiff out dsas trously
Statistics say 81 of 100 who enter business fail
Can you Imagine any such number failing to secure
gold by mining If they invested the thought

Al other source of income which could in itself

purchase mire, form company and place the
shares on the market. Buyers and sellers Of every

LrGught together. Tie few lines contained In our
otc sional advertisement to the effect that
taking interest in mining matters has brought
us hundreds of offers of what appeared TO be spien
did mining properties. There are also plenty of
curate and thorough representation of the true
value of the property offered If out of 200 propo-
sttuns should decide after thorough examina-

gilt edge, do you not think could impress that
belief on few of the many buyers? No will
be more critical than ourselves, and believe
any mine acceptable to Us will pass anywhere.
