The most notable event on the Mining Exchange OF
New York the past week vas the renewaio strength
In Justine Mining companystock This stock hsslately
been depressed. Its par value Is one dollar (eD . share.
but IL was forced down under one cent per sharr. A.
that price there suddenly came in buying orders on .
largo scale. and recently there have been transac-
lions OF thousands OF shares daily. Yesterday sat
urday) It sold between 4 and al cents q share. Only
small lots sre offered for sale.
Investigation shows that something out Of the or
binary is developing in the Justine's AFFAIRS. I am
credibly iuformed-and beiieve--thst the control OF
the property has been acquired BY interests strong
financially, and hustlers. l am informed also-and I
believe-that there is to DO q prompt and compre-
henslve development of the prog erty, pronounced by
experts to rank in its prospects among those which
make Cripple Creek famous.
The stock on its intrinsic worth ought TO be selling
now ovcs 80 instead of around Sand conservative
authorities familiar with the tremendous possibili-
ties In tho development OF rich gold properties be-
lieve such a quotation much inadequate.
Tho Justine Is closely surrounded on every side By
rich producing mines. Some OF the best payers in
Cripple Creek are directly across from Il.
The stock sells now for q few cents per share be-
cause It has been kicked about in Wall street through
the misfortunes of some OF Its owncrs-not on account
of any denert o: its own. So Welsbach Light stock
used to be kicked about, but u rose from q few cents
per share to what Is equal to 1900 per cent. SO Bell
Telephone went begging at % q share, but is now
about 800. after distributing many fat stock
dividends.
To investors and spectators disposed to risk but
limited sums l the purchase Of Justine
mining shares. The risk is small. Not much can DO
lost; u great deal may be won.
At . cents per share 1000 shares cost only ESQ.
Should 1t sell at so cents per share the profit would
he equal to 900 per cent. To be candid, however, I
do not believe much stock can be acquired Mt exactly
that figure. II will he wise for buyers to estimate on
the probability OF paying q few cents n share above
the quotations of last week.
The Justine property Is to be developed by the
Ingot Development Company on n percentage basis.
This guarantees results. ample capital. active, intelli.
gent work, and no expense except out OF an actual
substantial yield OF gold. Work will DO pushed
rapidly.

The loss OF the hair Il one OF the most

Beautiful hair gives many a woman

the natural hue OF the hair begins to fade,
aud the shining tTesscs OF chestnut and
auburn are changed to gray or to q faded
shadow OF their former brightness: Such
a loss is no longer a necessity. There Is
one remedy. which may we'll be called a
great remedy by reason Of its great sue

The island OF Porto Rico is one Of
the richest OF Spain's colonies. Its
name means In English. Rich port"
1t is trihe smaller than Jamaica. be-
ing the fourth in size OF the Antilles.
but the fertility of It's soil and the sa-
lubrity Of its climate have led to Its
being given the name OF "the gem OF
the Antilles" It lies to the east OF
Hayti. A range OF mountains runs
through the islands from east to west.
In the Interior are healthful and extern
sive uplands, and along the coasts are
tracts Of fertile land. Nearby the
whole OF the north coast is lined with
navigable lagoors. some OF them ten
miles long. There are also numerous
bays, creeks and rivers. which are navi-
gable; but the north shore Is subject
to tremendous ground seas which beat
against the cliffs with great violence.
Only three harbors are safe-Guanica
and Hovas on the south shore and San
Juan on the nCrth. There are no ser
pents or reptiles on the island. 1t is
wholly an agricultural island. produc-
