30 cents per share monthly, aud our
stock should advance 10 SO per share.
The sum and substance is | came east to

shares in our company tina we may be

Some one asked me what security he
had if he mSde an investment? What
security would you have if you bought
or invested in Government bonds?
You would have piece OF paper certify
ing that the Government owed you a
certain sum of money. which is no more
or less than a mortgage or this country

with me you would have share of
stock, which is a mortgage upon our
property and no matter who developes
it, that stock must and will draw its
dividends And he who connives to

playing with his liberty and will be
punished. The laws governing mining
companies are very strict Of late years,
