Enthusiasm Over Our Mining Resour-

OPPORTUNITIES ARE RIGHT NOW |

absolutely the real estate you buy;
the deed for the same being made
direct to you, and the mining stock
being in the usual form Of mining
stock certificates.
The city. building lot near the
growing city of Marion is worth to-
day nearly the sum paid for both
lot and stock, and it will advance
not as fast as the stock of course,
but il will always be worth in cash,
more and more as the city grows
month by month.
For those who desire to invest i'm
a small way, it is, we believe, the
safest, surest and probably the most
profitable that has ever been offered.
The building lot and $1,000 in the
stock Of the mining company can
now be had for SIS.
1t is always of interest to the pur-
chaser Of real estate to know who
his neighbors will be. We select
from our sales book a few names of
the citizens of Marion who have
purchased city building lots and hold
1000 shares of the Reed mining
stock with each lot. Many of these
gentlemen hold more than one. In
nearly every case they walked over
the 1873 acres of land, examined the
outcropping veins, became satisfied
that as Marion became greater in
population and wealth these lots
would increase in value in the same
proportion, and also became satisfied
that with proper continued mining
work these mining shares would
advance in value to quite tremen-
dous extent. In other words they
were satisfied that these lots were
worth the price asked and that the
speculative value of the shares
might be very great in such won
derfully productive mining section
as lies around Marion, where a few
hundred dollars has already brought
returns of a great many thousand
from the ore shipped.
Probably any one of the gentle
men named would reply to an in
quiry regarding this property, its
nearness to the city, and the value
