A PROFIT MAKER

A merchant buys his stock. puts II
pect to place his business on a pront
making basis within a few weeks. OF
a few months at least says the Mining
Review. He will make a few cents In
profit on each sale that he makes but
the volume of his bus. ness Is regulated
by his envi onments and by the num-
Der of his competitors. and. II do ng
business in a place of moderate popuia-
ton, his profits. while making him a
comfortable living, will never make
him rich and independent
with the mining industry the condi-
ton is different. Unless the investor
gets in on a mining proposition that Is
already a dividend-payer. he must wait
after his investment is made. until the
property in which he has become inter-
estsd has reached a produce g and
p.oft-making basis. Sometimes it will
take a year to bring about this condi-
ton: more often 1t takes two or three.

But, hen this time has come, he re-
cieves many dollars on his mining in

ceived pennies on his. OF the two the
mining investor has the best of It, as

In this event, he will receive thou
sands for every dollar that he has in.
vested. The merchant, in his bust
ness. must meet with competition. but.
in mining, there can be no competition.
no mattes how man. producing mines
there may be in any camp or district.
Mining, thei efore, has a fascination
for the man with capital that can
hardly be equaled by any other occu-
patton or pursuit. Returns cannot be
counted upon for the fl. ST year or
so after the investment is made, but.
when a property is upon a paying bass.
a season OF profit-maklng has arrived
that. IN time, viii place the Investor
on Easy street. no matter how many
mines may be working in his district.

scattered through this i-nter-mountann
region.

a productive and paying basis his flu
