SMALL INVESTORS.
Often Small Sum Brings Big Returns

II has become the fashion with a
certain class Of persons who always ex.
pect to hit the mark the first time. and
to win dollar for dime every time, to
assert that there is nothing in it for the
average investor, and that it does not
pay to invest small sums in anything.
Let such persons ask themselves what
returns they could hope to get in the
regular way, through banks or real
estate speculations, for sums under 800,
and then consider the following:
Twelve years ago 800 invested in the
United Verde Copper mine OF Arizona
cost 81 share and was worth 800. To.
day that 500 worth Of shares is worth
$50, 900, and the returns are 81, 200 per
year 800 invested in the Home Stake,
South Dakota, in stock which sold for
81 a share, il now worth 100000. One
hundred dollars invested in the Greene
Consolidated ut 81 share two years ago
il now worth $500. Twenty-Five dol.
lars invested in the "Jack Pot" mine in
Cripple Creek in 1894 is now worth d..
500, and $3.50 In dividends has been re.
ceived by the holder Of the shares in the
interim.
We have before us at this writing a
list Of 237 dividend. paying mines OF
which the shares are at II premium, and
in all Of which the first cost Of the shares
was away below par. Nothing
venture, nothing have" This does not
signify that any investment presented
will pay out big, but it means that a
proposition presented should be carefully
considered before being rejected.-The
National Banker.
