1t does not take any nerve today to buy
Great Western Gold Stock. You can put
it along side of the best bonds iE this
country, and l honestly believe they are
no better than Great Western. The an
certainty is eliminated, the chance Of loss
is removed. You may take your lond;
what docs it pay you? per cent year
What do you pay for the bond. You pay
par, or more. Take Great Western Stock.
What do you pay for it? 10c a share. Par
value is $1.00. You get $1.00 worth OF
stock for 10c What will it earu you?
Mr. NJ. e. Dittmar, Reddiag, California,
one of the best posted mining men of Cali
fornia, says the time is not far distant
when Great Western viii pay as much
in dividends annually as the stock row
costs. Remember that is 10c Per Stare,
OF 100 per cent. on your present invest
ment, or 10 per cent on the par value
of the stock, S100 This is as I ain as
1 can possibly make it. 1 believe that
before the end of 1904 the Greas Western
Gold Company VIII Commerce saying
dividends at above rate and in the course
of very few years will pay considerably
more than above. Is this not making
say: is it not gambling TO sell mining
stock, or TO buy mining stock | ask
you to be honest and ask yourself the
question: Is it gambling for party OF
gentlemen to get together and form a
company and sell its stock to run cot
ton mill? Is it gambling for q party
of gentlemen to form a company, and
sell stock to open up a bank? Is i gam
bling for a party OF gentlemen to get &C.
gether and form a company, and sci, its
stock to build a railroad? Now be rea-
sonable. Is it gambling for a party of
gentlemen to get together, buy number
Of acres of mineral land on a Weli-known
mineral belt, having had 1t examined by
first class experts before purchasing,
form a mining company, and sell its stock
to put that NINE on q, first class div
dend paying basis? Do the people not
buy bank stock in order to draw divi-
dends. Railroad or Cotton Mill stock
the same Banks, Railroads Cotton Mills
may pay you from A per cent to Ter
cent Mining when properly conducted,
pays anywhere from II per cent - 300
per cent. and it is perfectly legitimate
and clean Beside the Banks, Railroads.
Cotton Mills and even the government it
sell cannot run WITHOUT INC 1OI ,liid
Silver taken out OF the earth ,fr2m the
mines in the West, $3.50, 100000 Cold and
Silver produced last year In our own
country from these mines. l have too
much confidence in the people o. North
Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia,
and in the loyalty of my friends to be-
lieve that for one moment they you'd
had sold out to the devil and gone
to gambling in mining stock and deceIv-
ing the people that has 50 faithfully
stood by him. My enemies may thinlt
So My friends never will. Even II
this company were to go to pieces (and
believe it as solid as the eternal
hils) they would no doubt say l had
erred in Judgment, .but all the powers
of darkness could never convince me
that they believed l had gone IL will
ingly and knowingly to rob or deceive
them. l have spent more money IL adver-
Using in order to bring the company
to the notice of my friends THAI l have
ever MAIDS out OF commissions l receive
for selling the stock. But | believe
with ell the hart and soul and mind that
is within me that it is the best proposition
