AS AN INVESTMENT.

There has never been a time in the
 history of this country when mining
 investments were more popular or more
 profitable than they are at the present
 time. The reasons for this are not far
 to seek. Until recent years, the idea has been altogether too prevalent that the out
 uncertain in any given case, that the
 whole matter was to be looked upon
 rather as gamble" than as a dignt- fled and serious business. The cOndi- tions under which the business was prosecuted previous to the last quarter century were such as to largely justify this view of the situation, but the past 25 years has witnessed such tremer- dous improvements in both process and machinery, together with the advents
 of the railroad into every mining sec
 tiOn, whereby the transpOrtatio prob.
 lem was satisfactorily settled, that the
 industry now stands upon substan-
 tial and permanent basis, and experi- enced men would to-day undertake to
 put mining proposition upon a pro- ductive basis with greater certainty of
 satisfactory results than any other
 form of mercantile or manufacturing enterprise.
 Added to this are the recent discov-
 cries of gold silver and copper deposits,
 of such marvellous richness that even
 mining men themselves are almost led
 to wonder whether even the richest
 previous discoveries were worthy to be
 mentioned in comparison with these of recent date.
 The new camps of Nevada, of which
 Tonopah, Goldfeld, Bullfrog, Fairview,
 Manhattan and Ely are among the best known, are now producing gold and copper in quantities heretofore absolutely unknown, Goldfield alone now contributing more than &l0O. 900 per day in gold bullion to the wealth of the world.
 As wonderful as the deposits of Nevada have already proven, they have, for the time at least, been thrown en- tirely in the shade by the marvellous silver deposits of Northern Ontario, mediate vicinity of Cobalt, a mining camp 300 miles due north of Toronto, and this district, although yet in it's infancy, has shown greater profits, con- sidering the amount of work done, than any other mining camp under the sun. Many fortunes running we'll up into six figures have already been made by those who have improved the Opportu- mites thus presented, and without in the least lessening the opportunities for future profit, now within the reach of any man or woman with few hun dred dollars to invest.
 I have been located in Bridgeport, Conn.,, for six years. presenting to the portunities in mining and oil enter prtses. The plans and methods under which these investments always have been, and always can be made, are such that the investor is not asked to as- sume the slightest degree of risk in connection with the principal sum in- vested, this being, under the law of | general averages, Safeguarded from loss, whether the particular enterprise in which the investment may have l been made succeeds or fails. The ap- ages," whereby the weak enterprises | are protected by the strong, renders l it 8 very simple matter to afford this protection to the investor.
 The proximity of Newtown and vicinity to Bridgeport, and the facili- ties of travel between the two points, makes it very simple matter for the investor to look into these matters through personal visit to my office, and desire to impress upon all such at this time one conspicuous fact in with my business.
 During the six years of my career, no one has ever been asked, or urged, dur ing 8 visit to my office, to make any whatsoever. My duty in with these matters is sim ply to set before the seeker for knowl- edge the facts and figures in connection with the various enterprises which I have the honor to represent, and if these appeal to him in any way, his own judgment will readily guide him in reaching decision. If they do not appeal to him he has incurred no more Tn coming to see me and talk these matters over than he would oy going into any department store or ,f looking over goods to which his at ientton has been invited through the ldvertising columns of the daily pa 2erS. In the latter case he knows very
