GOLD MINE BACKED
 BY MEN OF FORTUNE

W. V. Rice and James Farrell have de- eided to give investors an opportunity to par take of the future
 prospects or the Gi- braltar Mines Syndl- cate. 500,00o shares of stock of the par value of $1.00 have been placed in the treasury. and 100000 of these are offered to the pub lie for subscription at 65 cents per share. The entire capitalization of the company is 1.500.- 900 shares of the par value of $1.00, and all shares are fully paid and -assessable.
 This offer is made. not because the incor- porators are in any need of money, but be- cause it is the practice of all mining compa- nies, in order to make a market value for their securities, and to provide funds for de- velopment work for a. property that is aI- ready paid for in cash and turned over to the

When a mining property has been prospectei by men of the right sort: when the district Is a good producer; when there are railways convenient to handle the ore, and when the men in charge have their own money in- vested and are there with serious business intent. the chances for large profits are good--just as good as in manufacturing, ag- riculture. trade, or transportation in fact, the profits are
 usually much larger on the capital invest ed"

 The money that will be realized from the sale of this stock will be used for the devel- opment work. It Is not believed that it will be necessary to dispose of more shares than those now offered to provide ample funds to operate the property and put the company on a paying basis. Should that be necessary, however. 100000 shares remain and the incorporators are willing at any time to take these shares ard pay for them at the market value,

The advice of such men Is a safe guide, just as the sincere advice of a Wall Street magnata would be safe---if 1t could be had.

FARMER FLEECrD.
Sad Experience With New York City
 Sharnerm.

c1W AAAR&AhG.NN = VI - N-"S
 New York. June 17--A sad expert ence with city sharpers has come into the life of Charles M. Brewer, truck farmer from Hickory. N. c. Just now he is at loss how to get back home, having been relieved of all his funds.
 Some weeks ago Brewer received a letter offering him a farm in New Jer- sey, near this city. The price was small, and he sent on $25 to bind the bargain. Donning his best clothes he then set out for New York to inspect the farm. In his wallet were five 500 bills. Upon arriving Brewer met the real estate agent and visited the New Jersey farm with him. The land was nothing but swamp and in a rage Brewer demanded that his $25 be re- turned. The real estate agent laugh ed at him, but Brewer had heard of District Attorney Jerome and to him he went. An investigation was made with the result that a warrant was is- sued for the real estate dealer.
 The old farmer was waiting about the criminal court building to see his prisoner when he began to cogitate over the expense of living in New York and unmindful of the passing pedestrians sat down upon the stairs to figure up what he had spent and count his money. There was still a balance of $460 in the wallet.
 How did spend that $40?" he ask ed himself, and placing the wallet be- side his papers on the steps, Brewer began to figure up what had become of the money. A thief saw the wal let; a skilful kick sent 1t down the steps without the old man noticing 1t, and soon wallet and thief were far away.
 Got to be careful with the rest" said Brewer. as he reached for the wallet. Then he saw there was none. His shouts attracted everyone in the court house, but to no purpose. De- tectives were called. but they have no hope of recovering Brewers savings.

sT am often asked" says Jasper in his fa- nous letter on finan- cial topics in Leslie's Weekly, issue of May IS, whether I believe money Is to ba made in mining enter prtses,S especially gold. silver and copper properties. I answer unquestionably in the affirmative. The histo- " of this and every other country tells it's own story. Probably greater fortunes have been made on smaller Investments in the mining of precious metals than in any other field of human endeavor.
 There is as good money in mining as in any other staple. le- gitimate line of busi- ness. and brains abili- ty and foresight are as sure to win out In that field as in any. The man who seeks mining stocks. and will exercise the same care and discretion as in other Investments will find them much

After four mon ths of observation and exam ination of the proper ties in the Tonopah, Goldfield and Bullfrog districts, he enthusias- tically advised the purchase of the Equi- table group of claims, the Morris and Phillips group and the Ugly Duckling and Comet Claims, aggregating la5 acres. and situated on Bonanza Mountain in the center of the Bullfrog district. James Farrell at once went to Bullfrog, ex- amined the properties, and purchased them in the interests of him. self, W. V. Rice and their partners. A com pany called the Gibrai- tar Mines Syndicate has been incorporated to operate them. W. V. Rice is President and James Farrell is a die rector of the new cor poration.

 The Daly-West. also referred to in the fore going, is 8 combina- ton of properties that were merged five years ago. One of these. known as the Quincy mine, at the time of the merger, had pro- duced s2.00o, 900 worth of ore in a period of fifteen months, and has paid dividends of $1.- 800, ,000.
