CRIPPLE--CREEK GOLD--MINERS.-A
GENEROUS OFFER.
We have just received the following
letter.
Editor Representative:
Dear Strive hand you herewith
prospectus Of the Prudential Gold
Mining Company. OF Cripple Creek
Colo. Our contracts, as official brokers
for this company and others of the
same place, allow us to use a limited
amount of stock for advertising pur-
poses.
Every property we represent has
been selected with the greatest care,
and all are managed by honorable,
| conservative and wellknown business
men who have had years Of successful
experience in this line.
These stocks sell at 10 cents per
share, all fully paid, worcestershire,
and stock holders incur no individual
liability of any kind.
All mining stocks sell for a few
cents on the dollar until ore in paying
quantities is developed. Then there
is always a good, and frequently a
very great advance in price. To this
rule there are no exceptions. Every
great producer in the district has, in
its early history, sold on the same
basis.
Those who buy stock when the COM
panies need money to develop the
property always make the largest
profits.
While there is some risk connected
with this, or for that matter with any
business, the chance OF loss at the
present price is very small compared
with the possibilities of profit, as
they are surrounded by rich mines,
and each of them has ore in sight,
which shows satisfactory assays.
The "Denver News" in a recent is
sue, reports ore assaying $4,000 per
ton out near the Prudential, and
there is no reason to believe that the
same vein may not be developed on this
property, and big jump in the price
of the stock would result.
We would like to have you SUBJ
scribe for 300 shares of stock, to be paid
tor an advertising, giving US reading
notice in your local news columns for
as long time as this will pay.
At present the company must use
all the cash avilable in developing the
property; but if you run the notice on
this basis. we will give you the prefer
ence on a line of cash advertising
which we are to place later.
We send the PRUDENTIAL not be-
cause we consider it better than the
others, for each Of these properties
have some points on which they are
superior to the others, but because we
have only the Prudential prospectus
in stock now.
The dividends paid by shipping
mines in this belt range from 30 to so
per cent per annum, and the owners
OF these properties feel sure that with
reasonable amount of development
they Can pay similar dividends.
Kindly send us an early reply on the
enclosed blank. on which you will find
q copy Of the matter to be run; and if
offer is acceptable. we will have the
company issue the stock, land will send
it to you with the copy, which will be
the same as that enclosed. Yours
very respectfully,
j. E. MORGAN. & Co.
New York, March L..
This is a very liberal and generous
roposition:-we are to take 300 shares
of stock in the company; endorse it
editOrially: persuade our friends, on
their faith in us, to put their money
in the hands of these gentlemen
cash money-and we are to get a lot
of pieces of paper-issued by parties
we don't know from Adam.
Now what puzzles us is that Morgan
& Co., who are connected with US by
no ties of consanguinity, or race, or
religion, or anything else, should be
generous enough to give away to us
500 shares of stock, that will certainly
yield, they tell us, "from 80 to SO per
cent per annum," to get us to induce
our readers to buy these valuable
shares at ten cents a share! Why
don't they, on their great banking
credit. borrow money in New York.
that center of rascality and wealth.
and so hold onto these valuable prop
critics themselves, that are sure to
yield $50 to SO per cent per annum?"
What interest have they in our front
ier farmers and mechanics, that leads
then to throw away their golden op-
pOrtunitieS in that fashion? Grover
Cleveland says this western country
is an uncivilized region, greatly in
need of missionaries; and yet it has
been the browsing ground for all the
thieves and plunderers of Christen-
dom. And now here comes along Nor
gan & Co., who wouldn't know our
hide if they saw it hanging on a
blackberry bush. land whose compa-
triots would steal it to make shoes off,
and they are literally ready to force
valuable Cripple Creek fortunes on US,
whether we will or not. 1t is inexplic-
able. 1t must be the world is getting
better.
And now we read that this whole
Cripple Creek business is fraud and
humbug:-that there is only one
mine there that is yielding any re-
turns, and 1t employs but eight menM
And this diminutive kernel of real
fact, (the eight men), is hidden in the
midst of vast clouds Of lies which
cover the whole heavens of the world.
But surely that cannot be true or
these benevolent gentlemen, Morgan
& Co., would not be willing to sell
their valuable shares to the readers
Of THE REPRESENTATIVE for ten
cents a share. Nothing but the
broadcast spirit of Christian philan-
thropy would induce them to make
such an offer II it we're otherwise
