MINING INVESTMENTS.
Large Profits Attracting Atten-
tion Of Conservatives.

Il Is undeniable that the most influential
business men Of the world have turned
their attention to mining, the source Of
nearly all wealth; for persons who have
been ensiaved to the idea that the only
safe proposition was a s.percent or 6.per.
cent security now realize that many mil.
lions OF interest have been lost to them
through needing the advice Of those inter.
ested In cheap money, and that among
the banking institutions OF the west i8 and
10 per cent per annum Is not considered a
hazardous western profit or excessive
dividend on the great majority Of our gilt.
edged mining securities; and, further, the
richest men IN the world are mining kings,
many OF whom have grown powerful
through the proper application Of original.
Iy n moderate capital, and II Is proven that
while millions Of dollars have been lost In
railroads, farm mortgages, eastern indus.
trials and building associations, the
American mining industry steadily ad.
Vanees, making enormous profits for Its
supporters, building great states and
cities. and points with pride to the Ameri.
can possession Of 2s3 mines that have
paid In dividends over &6sa.ooo. 900.
In mining investments extremely large
amounts are not necessary to make one
successful, for the man Of moderate
means. properly advised, has opportuni.
ties Of quickly doubling his capital. Un.
der incorporation greatest achievements
are made possible through combining the
limited sums Of thousands. thus equaling
the capital Of the individual millionaire,
making possible gigantic undertakings
that are productive Of enormous revenue.
The dollar Of the man Of moderate means
Is equally rs powerful rs the dollar Of the
money king. Both serve their purpose;
both are entitled 10 their proportionate
profits.
The Sumpter miner. [volume] (Sumpter, Or.) 1899-1905, 1901-05-08

In legitimate mining . 7s per cent divl.
dend Is not considered startling, and the
mining interests Of the west are willing to
pay that interest for the use Of money.
for, by the aid Of capital, they open up
tremendous ore bodies that lead to still
greater fortune. The employment Of
$4,000 In mining Is the equivalent Of
Sac, 900 In almost any other branch Of In.
dustry.
For years the wondrous profits Of the
metal industries have been whispered
among investors, who were apparently
afraid to let their neighbors know that
they were identified In mining, but the re.
cent efforts Of the financial ,zars Of the
world In forming combinations to control
first the markets Of the miner through
the "Smelting Trust," and then the mines
through the "Amalgamated Copper
Trust," have opened the eyes Of the con.
servative and moderate investor, and
they are making efforts to obtain their
share Of the metallic wealth which nature
has spread so lavishly.
Nature has laid her treasures In the
mountain recesses Of the west. The
American miner searches them out. East
ern money makes possible their conver.
sion into bullion, and the joint results Of
the miner and the capitalists make posi-
bic the tremendous profits that signalize
successful mining-New York Herald.
