TO INVEST INTELLIGENTLY
IN UNKNOWN PROJECTS

For the purpose of enabling investors
to judge partly for themselves the adj
visibility of considering an investment
in some unknown project to which their
attention has been called, the Financial
World suggests a few sensible rules.
By applying these rules. the danger of
making reckless investments will be
very much minimized.
Rule Don't place too much conf
dence in what a promoter claims for his
project, as it is but natural for him to
be optimistic. This he can afford to be.
for, in many instances. his investment
represents only his efforts in raising
capital. while you are putting your
money into the proposition. But investi-
gate carefully to satisfy yourself thor
oughly that the chances Of success far
outweigh the probabilities of failure.
Rule Find out everything you can
about the standing of the promoter and
the men who are to manage the enter
prise in which you invest your money.
Find out whether they are honest and
men who have been a success in past
undertakings. as this is the only type
of men whom it is safe to follow. Men
of character won't object to answer such
pertinent inquiries, for they will appre-
ciate that it is but natural for a strang-
err to ask such questions before parting
with his money.
Rule 3-Ask for a statement of the
actual physical condition of the COM
pany. You car then Judge whether the
price asked for the shares is an inflated
one or whether you are invited to join
as a stockholder on a reasonable basis.
And. further. such statement will aid in
making an independent investigation to
confirm the correctness of h figures.
If any portion of the statement is false.
you may as well decide to leave the
proposition alone.
Rule Find out If there are n in
cumbrances on the property. We have
found that this important fact Is often
very carefully concealed.
Rule 6-Above all be n that the
principal part of your money goes into
the company's treasury and not into the
promoters pockets.

BOOSTERS FOR NEVADA
ALL OVER THE EAST

1.-THE Bullfrog district of Nevada
boasts of five towns now" said George
T.. Palmer. in a recent interview at Salt
Lake, "all of which are experiencing a
boom. with the Las Vegas n Tonopah
railway t~racklayers now at the very
door. The metropolis is undoubtedly
Rhyolite. but Beatty. Bullfrog. Gold
Center and South Bullfrog are all en-
Joying a steady and healthy growth
Rhyolite will be the terminus for the
railroad, and there will be a big Fourth
of July celebration in that town. in
which the residents of the other foul
towns will tax an active part.
Railroads are going to have much
to do in the development of the vast
mineral of the Southern
Nevada desert. The advent of the Las
Vegas and Tonopah railroad to the Bull
frog district means the mining and
shipment of the vast quantities of low
grade ore, that 1t would not have paid
to mine with over a 100 mile-haul by
freighters to a railroad. The new line,
which will be in operation by the first
of the coming month, connects the great
Bullfrog country and the Salt Lake City
shelters.
1.-The mineral wealth of the Bullfrog
district cannot be overestimated even
by the most sanguine. There are not
only volumes of the low grade ore, but
the mining lone to date in that section
shows that streaks and lodges of ore
that will assay way up in the hundreds
are obtainable. But on the whole 1t will
be the lower grade of ore that will make
the wealth Of the district. The Bullfrog
district will certainly be another Tono-
pah.
"The 'Borax' Smith outfit is laying as
fast as possible what will be known as
the Tonopah & Tide Water railway.
which will connect the district with the
Santa Fe system. Smith is building the
road himself, while the Las Vegas and
Tonopah railway is being built by con-
tract. a Salt LAX City firm, Deal Broth
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-08-11

ers & Mendenhall, having the contract.
This road will onnect the Bullfrog dis
trict with Las Vegas, on the main line
of the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake railroad. AS a matter of fact, the
new road is now in operation more than
half of the distance from Las Vegas to
the Bullfrog district.
Another big boom in Southern Ne
vada is on in the Searchlight district,
as the result of that district being given
direct railroad facilities by a branch OF
the Santa Fe, which will be some %
miles in length, connecting with the
Santa Fe at Barnwell. The tracklaying
and grading of this branch have already
been begun, and although there has
been some talk of the San Pedro. Los
Angeles & Salt Lake extending a branch
to Searchlight, from Nippeno, CAL, such
is impracticable on account Of the heavy
grades tina would be encountered in the
25-mile stretch between Nippeno and
Searchlight.
IT reiterate that railroads are going
to cut the figure in development Of the
vast mineral of the Southern
Nevada country, and will revolutionize
mining in that section, a. low grade ore
can, with the advent of the railroads, be
mined at a fair profit"
