AS AN INVESTMENT.

There has never been 8 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. v.
 Until recent years, the idea has been altogether too prevalent that the out come of any mining enterprise was so uncertain in any given case, that the whole matter was to be looked upon rather as gamble" than as a digni- 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 transportation 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, Go]dfield alone now contributing more than S1OO, 900 per day in gold bullion to the wealth of the world.
 As wonderful as the deposits of Nevada have already proven, they have, tirely in the shade by the marvellous silver deposits of Northern Ontario, Canada. These are found in the inn mediate vicinity of Cobalt, a mining camp 300 miles due north of Toronto, and this district, although yet in its 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 lessenfng the opportunities of any man or woman with few hun- dred dollars to invest.
 l have been located in Bridgeport, Conn.,, for six years. presenting to the people Of this vicinity investment op- portunities in mining and oil enter priseS. 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 been made succeeds or fails. The ap- plication of the law of "General Aver are protected by the strong, renders it 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 a 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 connection with my business.
 During the six years of my career, no one has ever been asked, or urged, dur ing visit to my office, to make any whatsoever. My duty in connection 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 l have the honor to represent and if these appeal to him in any way, his own judgment will readily guide him ln reaching decision. If they do not appeal to him, he has incurred no more obligation Tn coming to see me and talk these matters over than he would by going into any department store or other place of business for the purpose of looking over goods to which his at tention has been invited through the columns of the daily pa- pers. In the latter case he knows very
