BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

FOR SALE-ON EASY TERMS: THE
Little Maggie Gold mining claim, in thu
Pinacate mining district, six miles west
of Perris, Riverside county: the best
chance for a practical miner with a little
ready money to get hold of a geunine,
producing mine that there Is in Califor-
MIA today. The Little Maggie has been
worked off and on in primitive, hand-to-
mouth way for several years. but never to
any great depth. Most of the work has
been drifting and stopping, "above the
water" The water comes in at GO IT,, and
at 70 tt. there is so much Of 1t that fur
ther sinking on the vein becomes imprac.
ticable without machinery, which the
present and former owners, being poor
men, have not been able to buy. But the
gold Is there. and whoever will go rs #
further down will have mine that will
make his fortune. The claim Is 1900 It.
long, with the ledge in sight every foot
of the way, and we will forfeit $500 II
there Is foot of 1t in which there is
not gold. The average yie,d in the aras.
ira, extending over a period of four years,
has been about $50 to the ton of ore. The
best ore, and the most of It, has been
found at the greatest depth-that Is, be-
low the water level. We are convinced.
not only from our own experience, but
from that of the Good Hope, the Gavilan
and other mines in the neighbcrhood.
that depth is all that is necessary to in
sure great mine Neither Of the mines
mentioned had at a like depth with the
Little Maggie anything like the showing
the latter has. And the water, though
troublesome to us, because we lack ma
chinery with which to take care Of It, is
in itself valuable 1t could be sold for a
good price any day, though of course Il
will be needed on the property whenever a
mill Is put up. There Is enough to run
ten stamps and possibly twenty. The
property is in every way an interesting
one. We offer 1t for sale simply because
we haven't the means to develop it as
1t ought to be to be profitable. We will
sell 1t on the most liberal terms, and give
the buyer every opportunity to 1nvesti.
gate and satisfy himself of its value
before he invests cent. For further
