NOW FLOWING TO THE LEAD AND
ZINC FIELDS.
NATIONAL MINE COMPANY
ORGANIZED TO DEVELOP AND oPER-
ATE MISSOURI PROPERTIES.
Capitalized at S3OO,OOO with A. F. Na-
than President-Wil Head OF
Eastern Capitalists in Sc
curing All the Invest-
ment Plums.

The rapid growth of the Joplin and Ga
lena lead and zinc mining district of Mis-
souri,, and the splendid opportunities for
safe and conservative investments in min
ing properties, have led to the organization
of the National Mine Company of
Kansas City, with a capital of 100000. The
officers of the company are A. +. Nathan,
manager of the Schwarzschild & Sulzberg-
er Packing Company, president; Marcus
Pollasky, of chicago, vice president, and
Frank B. Wilcox, treasurer of the Guar
dian Trust Company, secretary and treas
urer. All these gentlemen are widely and
favorably known in Kansas City and West
ern financial circles and all have had prac-
tical experience in mining and placing div
idend paying properties upon the market.
The company already has a large num-
ber of dividend paying mines in the Joplin
and Galena district which are paying in
vestorS all the way from l to per cent a
month in addition to yielding a handsome
profit for further improvement and devel-
opment and it is the intention to secure
other properties right along and place
them on the market only after they show
prospects of becoming good dividend pay
ers. In other words, the company will
eliminate all wildcat and purely specula-
tive features from mining investments in
the "Klondike of Missouri" and furnish as
far as possible investments that are abso-
lutely safe. Among the properties already
controlled by the National Mine Company
are those of the Syndicate Gold Mining
Company, of Colorado, Bunker Hill Min
ing Company, American Mining Company.
Crown Point Zinc Mining Company, Lead
vile Hollow Zinc Mining Comapny, Phoe-
nix Zinc Mining Company and the latest
property, that of the Novelty Zinc MINING
Company, all the latter, property being
in the Joplin-Galena lead and ENC as
trict.
President A. F. Nathan said: FROM the
efforts Of Mr.. Wilcox and myself up to
this time in the line of handling dividend

supervision by those vitality interested in

those of Mr. Marcus POllaSky..a "a widely

OF Chicago. whose experience has been OF
broad range and whose success in handling
large enterprises phenomenal. From this
combination we count on the most laVor-
able results.
1.-The National Mine Company has been
organized as a close corporation for the
prises, and it will represent our united
efforts, instead of working individually as
heretofore.
"Our aim shall be directed first toward
realizing, from properties handled, the
money that may be actually put into
them, and afterward the profit to be de-
rived from further development.
We take special pride in the success OF
the Syndicate Gold Mining Company. of
Colorado, which has just begun making
regular shipments and which is expected to
make good monthly dividends hereafter;
also to the Leadville Hollow Zinc Mining
Company, of Joplin, upon which STAN
dard mill is now being completed. and
from which regular dividends are expected
beginning with the month of August; also
to the Crown Point Zinc Mining Company
which is paying regular dividends OF
per cent per month. AS is well known the
American Mining Company is steadily pay
