MINING
MAN IS {. W. PECK
Secretary Of the BuIIfrou-Echo Mining
company-Represents other VAL
liable Mineral Claims In Me-
vada and California

To have gained a iOputatione as an
able, energetic mining man, whose in
tegrity is his stock n trade, upon
which thousands depend for their Sc
curity, is a gold mine in itself in this
part of the country. Il is an asset
which Is stronger than any bank in
dorsement and as staple as the stand
ard articles of food, and as valuable as
the United States treasury department.
1t is a reputation to be proud of and
Jealous of.
1t is of this stuff that Earl w. Peck,
one of the best known mining men In
the west, is made. He believes in in
tegrity in the mining business as well
as in any other line. In fact, he is of
the opinion that mining man must
have a higher sense of honor than the
ordinary business man, for the reason
that thousands of people trust to his
Judgment and his honesty to invest
their money where it is reasonably safe
and never ask any questions, because
in the majority of cases they are ignor-
ant of where the opportunities In the
mining field lie. They would not know
a good thing if they saw It in many
cases.
It is therefore UP to the mining man,
ordinary investor in mines what is
what, although he is not prophet on
what may or may not be under the
ground. He knows better than the
average buyer of mining stocks what
chances there are in the game, and 1t
Is the promoter who will give these
chances their proper weight in hand
ling a proposition who is a treasure.
in mining it is what a man does
which counts in the long run, and IL Is
by that measure he is given the reputa-
tion as an able and wideawake business
manager The opportunities are sought
in the mining world, and it is only to
the swift and the strong that the prizes
are given. There is no room for lag
CARDS and there are no leavings for them
to get. You get it big in the mining
game or you do not get it at all.
Mr.. Peck has built up a reputation as
a mining man of conservative manage
ment and who is alive to all of the
good investments which can be safely
handled by company.
The Bullfrog-Echo Mining company,
of which he is the secretary, has been
one of the big deals which he recently
put through to the advantage of all or
those who were fortunate to get in on
II. The property is one of the best in
the district, and that part of the coun-
try is q "comer," as the old-tlmers VINO
are flocking to the district now assert.
The Golden State Mining company is
another of the good things which the
followers of Mr.. Peck have profted
already by and are going to profit very
much more by in the near future.
The Good News Mining company is
still another he has just promoted, and
so eager were his followers to subscribe
for the original stock he had difficulty
in apportioning the allotment of shares
among them equitably. Be it known
that the properties of the Golden State
and Good News Mining companies ad-
join each other, and the promising
mineral features of the former which
made for it's phenomenal and quick sue
cess, being very prominent in the latter
property, caused a veritable stampede
among the investors to secure ground
floor" interest therein.
Mr.. Peck is familiar with the South
ern Nevada and California fields and
other parts of the western country
where there is ore to be had, and he
does not require much time to size up
proposition and tell what the reason
able chances of success are.
