Offices of the LaCIede Brokerage

H. W. HfILMAN BUILDING,
ON THE GROUND FLOOR

1t will be good news to every person
in Los Angeles interested in the gold
mines of Nevada to learn that Janu-
airy Jones is coming to town.
January Jones is today the most i'm
pressive and conspicuous character in
the great drama of the gold-hunterS.
He is we'll known in every mining
camp in southwestern Nevada and his
name and fame have spread the reach
of the Pacific coast and throughout the
breadth of the land.
The plain name of John Jones, with
which he was Christened. has been
forgotten. He will be known as Jan
uary" Jones for all time to come. The
Goldfield Sun lately said of him:
January Jones, having made new
rich find in April, has only to repeat
the performance ten more times to
have a name as long as the year.
His First Visit Here
Something over a month ago Mr.
Jones came to Los Angeles and invited
his friends and acquaintance here to
share fortune with him. He told
them of a new prospect which he had
discovered, which had as much indi
cation of gold-bearing wealth as the
January lode which he first struck, and
which gave him a fortune as well as
famous name
January Jones opened an office in
Los Angeles and invited the public to
become shareholders in this gold min
ing prospect, and those who were full
of faith in the man subscribed to thou
sands of shares of stock.
While this was taking place, how
ever, Jones was not idle. He had re-
turned to the camp and field, leaving
the hotation of the stock to Mr.. ReaviS
in Los Angeles, while he struck deep
er into the earth to verify his own pre-
dictions.
After He Went Back
You remember the startling news of
his $500 strike, and how Immediately
there was such rush to get in on the
ground floor of this mining company,
that word came from Mr.. Jones quite
unexpectedly to shut off sales of &a-
wich Gold Reed
Much TO the discontinue of many
who before had doubted, but then were
anxious to subscribe. the books were
closed, for the whole amount of stock
rendered had been subscribed and
more, too.
Immediately thereafter there was an
advance from the sale price of Is cents
share to 25 cents Today it is almost
impossible to buy any at that figure.
His Next Wonderful Exploit
Lively as a cricket, Mr. Jones jumps
over to the Bullfrog region next, where, /
glittering prospects in the Montgom- |
-Shoshone and Benny Hazeltine
groups were attracting eager prospec- |
tors and kindling a blaze of excite
ment over this virgin field.
In a trice, Mr.. Jones located gold |
as unerringly as the needle points the |
polar star and the formation of the |
Bullfrog Winner Mining company, |
with Mr., Jones as managing director
and engineer, followed. Offers to lease
or to buy were refused. The company |
resolved to develop its own property.
Mr.. Jones and his associates, how |
ever, needed capital quickly and the |
Laclede Brokerage company of which |
j. Donnan ReaViS is manager in this |
city, was wired request to float |
block of treasury stock in this excellent |
proposition at Is cents share.
BulIfrog Winner Offered
Such had been the success with the
former placing of the Kawich Gold |
Reed that Mr.. Jones was delighted, |
and almost before the public was
aware that one stock had been with
drawn another was on the market.
Now many people inquire of us why
it is that Mr.. Jones has so many mines |
Our answer is that it is because he is
one of the busiest of men. as well as
one of the closest observers of the
Mother Earth. He has luck, too, on
his side, as events have proved. But
luck is in his case, more a matter of
sound judgment and indefatigable zeal,
or the composite effect of long searches
and shrewd calculations, than it is of
special favor with the Goddess of
Chance.
His Secret of Success
Mr.. Jones is rewarded for his work
because he keeps everlastingly at it.
He sits not idly down because he has
made a million and Tolls in the lap of
luxurious ease, but is ever up and at
the hunt for in that lies all the zest
of the game.
SO far ne has not failed to pick a
and the luckiest winner-we
think he will tell you so himself-is
WINNER.
Now, you may meet January Jones
and ask him these and other ques-
lions for yourself. You may have his
answers from his own lips. But we
