The triumph of the mo PROMO.
TION STOCK SYSTEM is fact
Already the general cooperation OF
honorable working people has served to
establish the success of the Manhat-
tan Gibraltar Gold Mines company and
the Greater Manhattan Consolidated
Mining company-the first no promo
tion stock companies in Los Angeles.
So great have been the contributions
of the public to these two mining en-
terprises that they are now firmly es-
tablished on financial foundation that
bars the annulment of a glorious future
for each of them.
Twenty-six hundred people-as many
as the population of an ordinary Cali
fornta town-have joined in honest CO.
operation for the bentfit of each other.
Their dollars have been freely given
after they have had their eyes opened
to the manifold advantages of the no
promotion stock system, and whereas
they have heretofore come with fear
and trembling into the office of a min
ing company they now enter the offices
of the Manhattan Gibraltar Gold Mines
company and Greater Manhattan Con-
solidated Mining companies with a
feeling of confidence and possessed of
the assurance that for each and every
dollar they have placed in these COM
panies there will be an honest account
ing and the assurance of the maximum
profit on a minimum investment.
They know that their dollars are not
going into the enrichment of promo
ers who, with brazen effrontery, has the
nerve to offer the poor man a chance to
purchase a part of 100000 shares of
treasury stock at the price set by the
promoter, when he, the promoter,
knows that the 100000 shares of stock
he owns has not cost him much more
than a dozen spools of Coates thread.
The launching of the "NO-PROMO- !
TION STOCK SYSTEM" has been the |
signal for mighty volume of amens on |
the part of the investing public for it |
marks the doom of the old fashioned |
promotion stock companies. It marks !
the annihilation of the J Pierpont Nor |
gan methods from mining, and sets
the day for a square deal for the small !
capitalist 1t has rubbed the fur of |
the old fashioned 10000 shares treas

Tilt RAPIER CASE
 DETAILS OF ARREST
He Was a Member of First Regimen {
 Territorial Infantry.

Concerning E. P. Rapier. who stole and forged the time checks of the re- clamation service at Roosevelt md who was arrested in Bisbee and taken to Tombstone, where he was to be given an examination Thursday, the Tombstone Prospector says:
 The immediate cause Of Rapier's arrest is on a warrant sworn to by Mayor 4. Wentworth of this city, who was caught for SSO on a forged gov ernment check. John Speck of the Crystal Palace company was also made a victim to the tune of S1OO. When Rapier was arrested by Bisbee officers 3265 in cash was found on the pris- oner and this amount was immedi- ately attached by the Tombstone vic tims, who may thus recover their losses.
 It is enlarged that Rapier was an em- plOye of the reclamation service at Roosevelt and immediately upon his departure a book containing 20O0 gov ernment checks of the interior depart ment was missed. The checks upon which money was obtained by Rapier are made from those bearing numbers in the missing book, and the circum- stances weave a strong chain about the prisoner which will be hard to explain.
 tI is claimed many of these checks found their way into Globe. Fl PasO. Albuquerque, Douglas and Bisbee. but it remained for the fOrger to be eX- posed when a check was cashed in Tombstone.
 United States Deputy Marshal Clark arrived in Tombstone this morning with a warrant for Rapier. but the. United States will not be able to secure. the prisoner until the territory has finished with the charge against him.
 The prisoner is a young man about 26 years of age and wears an artificial leg. It is claimed while boarding a moving train, several years ago, he feil

beneath the wheels, losing his leg near the knee. Rapier is exceedingly reti- cent, saying absolutely nothing that has 8 bearing on his case. therefore sheds but little light on his past move ments or transactions
 When arrested seven checks were found on the prisoner ranging rom $50 to S11O A number of postOffice money order receipts were also found and are to be traced.
 u is said that Rapier was a resident of Stafford for many years, and was member of the McCord regiment of Spnish-American war volunteers The

 Where will I have my law offices? I have not decided on that yet, but wherever they may be there will be inscribed over the door the motto of AdUllams cave: And there came unto him every one that was discontented. and every one that was in debt and every one that was afraid, and he min istered unto them !"
