;Co-Operative Timing as an In
VeStment.

There is probably no investment that
can be made in small way that offers
such chances of fabulous returns, and
at the same time the degree of safety,
as an investment in Colorado mines.
Under present new and approved bust
ness methods there is no good reason
why the investor should not make
money faster than in any other chan
mel, provided, of course. his invest
ment is made with intelligence, after
due investigation, and with the facts
before him. If an investment is made
in any other way, in mining or any
thing else, it deserves to fail, but with
5he exercise of the same Judgment that
Is used in the ordinary business walks
of life, there is more money, and to be
made quicker, in Colorado mines than
in anything else that a man with small
capital can get into.
The constant record of men in this
state who have risen from poverty to
wealth almost in a single night, bear
true witness that Nature plays no IA
yorites, but is as ready to hand out its
treasures to the beggar as the king.
In Colorado mining, Nature is the
member of the firm that declares the
dividends and hands out the profits,
and as millions are no more to Nature
than pennies are to men, it is clear
that nothing man can invent in busi-
pess way can hope to compete.
Colorado is the greatest mineral
producing state in the Union, and
Eunnison county is one of the richest
counties in the state, for within its
confines Nature has been lavish in its
distribution of wealth. If this state
ment means anything, it means millions
10 those lucky enough to own part of
the territory that embraces this great
county. Some have already secured
q competency from It's mines, while
many others are constantly working
to reach the same end, but one thing
is perfectly true, namely, that the man
who sits down and does not try will
not be among fhe fortuna ate ones.
However, it takes money to properly
open up and develop almost any mine,
at the start, and this has been the bug
bear OF the poor man since early his
tory. AS rule he was forced to sell
his mine to some rich man or syndicate
sell it for a pittance, and then see
them make fortunes out of it forever
after. Now, however, that is being
met by new methods, chief among which
40 cooperation, and whether cooper
alton be successful in other business
or not, it is certainly phenomenal
success in mining, as is proven by the
many thousands who have reaped rich
rewards. By corporation in this in
stance is meant the selling of an inter-
est in the mine or group of mines to a
large number of people for small
amount of cash each, and with the
money thus derived developing the
property into dividend payer, from
which all are paid in proportion to
their ownership, and still some of the
great profits are left for the original
owner, who has held on to a part own
ership. 1t Is simply a partnership
agreement between municipality OF
people, instead of among one, two or
Mree, and its results have been so
marvellous in flow OF wealth into the
pockets Of investors that Colorado has
been built up into one of the greatest
and most prosperous states on this
continent, with the beneficial result
that capitalists are now coming to ii
with their money for such investment
from ell over the world. Such money
II distributed among almost every
mining camp in the state, and we are
pleased to note that Gunnison county
is not By any means neglected in the
distribution Of this incoming capital,
it, resources are SO varied that the
most exacting individual can find q
safe and remuner alive field for the in.
yeetment Of his surplus capital.
