The Alta Has the Ore

THERE is NO DANGER that the
resources of ore which the Alta mine
possesses will be exhausted. For years
to come there are vast unexplored re-
gions in the Alta mine and the contigu-
Gus claims which the Alta Mines Co.
owns which may hold great bonanzas.
And, although at the present time the
shipments Of ore from the mine are tax
ing away nearly one hundred tons of
high and low grade ore every day, the
work of development which at the same
moment progresses discovers to the miner
and the stockholders in the company half
as much ore again, which becomes q fur
Their substantial asset increasing the COM
pany's collateral resources thousands of
dollars a weelS
On the contrary THERE is GREAT
DANGER of the exhaustion of the
amount of stock which the company pre-
determined to sell at 30c a share. With
in short time the price Of shares will
be officially advanced to higher figures
and similar procedure recurring often
during the coming spring and summer
will undoubtedly advance the selling
price of these shares to the vicinity of
par.
The Alta mine is now earning divi-
dends at the rate Of about 20 per cent.
upon stock sold at Soc a share. We re-
new our suggestion to intending investors
that by buying now they will obtain
stock in this company at the least price
at which it will ever sell and concurrent
" become interested in proportion to
their holding in a property whose actual
known assets equal several times the to-
tai value of stock which could be dis
posed of at this price.
In addition to these absolutely tangible
assets the Alta, as these advertisements
often have recounted, owns twenty other
mining claims, any one Of which may,
prove far richer than is the Alta itself
We win gladly respond by letter or III
person to any inquiries made of us re-
garding this great property.
If you would make an investment in a
stock which is SURE TO earn TWENTY
PER CENT. DIVIDENDS, and prob
ably will do much better within six
months buy some shares in The Alta
Mines Company, now, at Doc a share.
Address all inquiries and subscriptions
TO the undersigned, but make your
checks, drafts, or money orders payable
to the order of Albert G. Blatz, Treas
urer.

no UNCLAIMED MILLIONS.
London Paper Renews Warming About
Tales of Fortunes in Ckancery,

Untold millions are popularity believed
to be boarded up in the court of chan
Gerry waiting for next of kin as yet ig-
norant of their good fortune. But in
spite of the legends assiduously propa-
gated by so-called unclaimed money
agents. the popular belief. says Lon
don paper. is baseleSS.
From a document just issued from the
supreme court it appears that the aggrc-
gate amount of these funds is a beggar-
ly 91,050,000 and that this sum repre-
sents more than 5000 separate accounts.
onc-half of which do NOT exceed ESQ in
value. Only about one-twentieth ex-
coed 1900. Looking to the fact that
many Of these funds have been living
derelict in the inaccessible court of cham
Gerry for more than century. this partic-
ular gold mile hardly seems worth dig
ging in.
The court itself assures us with Judi
cial frankness that proof of title might
involve expense quite out of proportion
to the amount recoverable" and solemn
~ warns everybody longing 10 explore
this treasure house not To be led away
by the gross misstatements aud exag-
gerations" nf the gentlemen who issue
lists Of heirs to unclaimed money"
