Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1907-07-17

Marshall Field, Of Chicago, recently
deceased, universally recognized as the
worlds greatest merchant, made mill
lions upon millions on his mining in n,
vestments, while John D. Rockefeller,
fine richest man the world has ever
known, credits his mining investments
for the largest part Of his wealth.
!. sSI In 1901, only six years ago, the Tom
apah was only a hole in the ground. IT
has since produced about $2O,O0O, 900,
and today has blocked out on four sides }
something over $l0O,O00,000 in ore Even
Rockefeller himself hasn't got money
enough To- buy stock in this property.
The original purchase price Of the
f Utica of California was $4,000, 1t has
since produced $25,o00,0OO, and the
owners do not think they have as much !.
4 as touched the real values in the prop
erty. The North Star, also Of Califor-&
mia, was twice abandoned as worked
out, but astonishing as it may seem, it
has since produced close to $25,000,0OO,
and its owners figure that they have at
least--just ponder over tllat-at least
twice as much more in sightl ,s
The Homestake, down here in South
Dakota. which is neighborly, to say the
least, has paid over $20,oO0,0OO in divi-
! -dends, and its stock has advanced
about 5000 per cent. Doesn't it seem
good to you to have something in Da-
kota either north or south, advance like
that? The Treadwell, out there in
{ Alaska, where the weather compares
with the brand furnished Bismarck, has
advanced 5000 per cent in price, and
unless all the signs fail, Gold Coin Min
ing Company stock will beat that by a
full city block.
/ The Rothchilds recently paid $4,000
900 for the Anaconda, but not until
after it had paid nearly $35,0O0000 in
dividends. There are few other. mines
that have paid big dividends. The On
tario has a record Of about ST., 200, 900;
Boston and Montana about $4,000, 900 \
Quincy close to $2O,oOo,oO0; United
Verde about the same, and Amalga-
mated close, to $4O,000,000.
These are excessive profits, as viewed
from the standpoint of the average in
weston, but they are exceedingly conser-
vative as viewed from the standpoint Of
the man who knows mining as a bust
ness. He simply takes the position that
{ in mining no profit is excessive, and that
the man who does not invest anything
& more than a lick at the gum on the
back OF a two-cent postage stamp, is
properly entitled to interest compounded
several thousand times on the aforesaid
lick.
The last United States census pre-
sents complete information concerning
the number of men and the amount of
capital engaged in the principal indus
! tries of the country, together with the
valuesof the output. The figures from
the census show the average annual re-
turns per man employed in the several
enterprises to have been as follows:
1927 in agriculture. rs
!, $$495 in numbering.
' $764 in manufacturing. III
81, $40 in metal mining.
These results we're secured in spite
of the unproductive labor thrown away
!. in prospecting and i'll advised mining
, ventures, while the workers in other
. fields had all the advantages Of labor
saving machinery, and Of the highly de-
veloped manufacturing economics which
keep every workers production up TO
the highest point.
How about it? Don't you think it
time to secure that block Of stock you
!, have had in mind? Better do it before
the next advance in price, which IS
scheduled for August 4. Better do IT
! today, because there are several deals
! on that may take every share Of the
| stock off the market.
The price is so cents per share now,
but YOU do not have to have all cash
!. in buying what YOU want We will
u make terms to suit your convenience.
