IN STOCK DEAL
TEN" RICHARD CLEANS UP
THOUSANDS IN. ONE DAYS
TRANSACTIONS.

Hereafter it is Lucky Tex" Rick
ard. Just G. F. Richard is not suf-
fcient to describe the man and his
good fortune and bust
ness judgment Lucky Tex is the
name that he will be known by here
after.
And as a reason for the rechristen-
ing of the broker, financier, mining
magnate, fight promoter and all
around popular<and successful bust
ness man, may be stated that Mr..
Richard is today richer man than
he was last Monday by $4,000.
A sum as large as this is not made
in a day. The average man will toll
for lifetime without earning or Sc
curing as much money as this, but
the local broker cleaned up approx
mately this amount in two days
Richard is the promoter of the
Richard Ely Mining company He
has managed the affairs of that COM
pany since it's Incorporation, and with
Judgment. The company is develop

tematically. Richard is in the clos

property.

was consummated before the stock
really began to go up, and Rockhil

local exchange. The demand for the
security started off at a merry clip

property at a distance of only few
hundred feet from the Veteran shat

native copper at depth of littl
more than 1000 feet. The nativ
copper body is said to be one of tn
largest that has been drilled through
up to this time.
This fact gives the motive TO
