7 THAT READS LIKE FICT
Merger of the Great West Calhoun and Jefferson Mines.
Now Controlled by the Gold Mining Invest
ment Company.

COLORADO, OF course, leads all the other
States in gold production, but it is not
generally known that its record for
l9O2-nearly $10O,OOO,OO0 two
thirds Of all the gold produced in the
United States and Alaska Gilpin
County, in that State, holds the palm
for the richest half square mile in the
world having produced, altogether, from
that area, Sl50,OOOOOO in gold.
Our attention has been directed to q
report in the Denver "Daily Repubi-
can" of an important merger of the
West Calhoun and Jefferson mines, two
Of the richest properties in this entire
district, and controlled by the Gold Min
ing Investment Company. These prop
critics are located right in the heart Of
the richest part Of the half-square-mile
above mentioned.
BY the way, the Gold Mining Invest
ment Company is attracting great deal
Of attention in the mining world just
now, and its stock, which IS row being
placed on the market. is certain to go
with rush. The management have on
file in their Offices an array Of endorse
ments by experts and prominent busi-
ness men such as we have never before
seen exhibited by any mining enterprise.
Among these enthusiastic though con-
servative men are a United States
Senator an Ex-Governor, a Mayor, a
Sheriff. several National Banks and
managers Of the greatest gold mines in
the world
In the Hands Of e Good Firm.
Hon. D. p. Phelps, President Of the
Gold Mining Investment Company, who
was Assistant United States Treasurer
under President Cleveland. stated to a
reporter that he believed that this mine
would prove to be one OF the greatest
in the world, and that those who invest
cd at this time would realize tremen-
dous profits. Said he: 1T has been
proved that the gold is there, as many
millions Of dollars have already been
taken out on all sides Of us. and the
veins Of these great properties all merge
into our properties All we need is
sufficient capital to develop the prop
erty."
it was also stated that the financing
of this great enterprise was in charge OF
l.. Il. Pike & Co, who have been estab-
lshed twelve years, and have Offices III
all the principal cities Of the United
Statos and Canada. Mr.. Pixies portrait
appears in a very handsome volume
prominent and Progressive Amer
icans"-recently published by the New
York Tribune" in which also are bi-
ographiss of such men as President
Roosevelt, J. Pierpont Morgan, John D.
Rockefeller and ethcrs.
Profits Will Be Enormous.
At tho Offices Of L. L. Pike & Co..
in the Real Estate Trust Building
Philadelphia, Mr.. Pike was found and
readily consented to bo interviewed re-
garding the Gold Mining Investment
and also other stocks for which the Com
pany had been Fiscal Agents the pasi
year. Pike stated that tkcy had
financed two large Industrial Corpora
tions within the past thirteen months
Ono Of them had paid 40 per cent. il
dividends to its stockholders and tn,
other 27 per cent, and the shares hal
advanced IN value from 100 to 300 pc
cent. I'VE believe the Gold Mining In
ysstment proposition surpasses any in
vestment we have offered the public
and that is saying a great deal"
Mr.. Pike further said; "We selecte,
this proposition out of AGO dideren
mining enterprises because we knew
that the result to stockholders would b.
so satisfactory that it would prove
great advertisement for this firm. Onl.
q small amount remains unsold at 3
cents a share. as the miners themselve
have subscribed very heavily. We be
lieve the entire allotment to be sold WI
be- oversubscribed within thirty days
We have never known Of a mine located
right in the center Of such a rich grou
OF mines before. Three out Of FIVE min
ing experts estimated the value Of or
in eur property above the 2OOO-foo
level at 20 600 900 of dollars; the othc
