Poor Mans Chance.

II Is being said In many Eastern
journals and not q few Western ones
that the day Of the poor man in min
Ing Is gone BY; that no one but . big
corporation can succeed In mining any
more; that II takes big capital 70 do
anything; that mCst Of the good min
ing propositions are controlled BY
trusts or millionaires and that there
is no longer opportunity for q man
with little money. This Is all q mis-
take. The day Of the poor" mining
man was never brighter nor greater
than right now.
The assertion that most Of the good
mines are owned by trusts or million.
aires Is heard most often. but there is
least In that Of any Of the pessimistic
utterances. One hears of the big mil
lionaire owners more than he does OF
the thousands of substantial CON-
panies that go right on with little
notoriety. paying good wages and
monthly yielding dividends.
Finally. II may be Justly said In an
swer to the assertion that opportunity
no longer exists for the man with q
little money. that never in the worlds
history were there fuer opportunities
In mining for the man with Q little
lea today. Are you Interested?
