Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1907-08-06

Marshall Field, Of Chicago, recently
deceased, universally recognized as the
worlds greatest merchant, made mil
lions upon millions on his mining IN
vestments, while John D. Rockefeller,
the richest man the world has ever
known, credits his mining investments
for the largest part Of his wealth.
In 1901, only six years ago, the Tom
apah was only a hole ia the ground. IT.
has since produced about $50, 000, O0O,s
and today has Blocked out on four sides
something over 500, 100000 il ore. Even
Z Rockefeller himself hasn't got money
enough to buy stock in this property.
The original purchase price Of the
Utica Of California was $4,000. TT has
since produced $25 100000, and the
owners do not think they have as much
as touched the real values in the prop

MA, was twice abandoned as worked
out but astonishing as lit may seem, it
has since produced close to S25, 600, 900.
and its owners figure that they have ait
least-just ponder over thatat least
twice as much more in sight
The Homestake, down here in South
Dakota, which is neighborly, to say the
least, has paid over $40 100000 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 TTeadWell, 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 Cord
Mining Company stock will beat that
by a full city block. 55s8= 4 4
The Rothchilds recently paid $40, 00O,-=
900 for the Anaconda, but not until
after it had paid nearly S35, O00, 900 il,
dividends. There are few other mines
that have paid big dividends The On
tario has a record Of about ST., 000, 600;
Boston and Montana about $50, 900, 000;;
Quincy close 70 $2o,o 900; United
Verde about the same, and Amalga-
mated close TO SAC, 900, 900.
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.

properly entitledsto interest compo unded5

81. The last United States census pre-
q sents complete information concerning
the number of men and the amount Of
capital engaged in the principal indus
l& 5 tries 1l OF the country, together with the
value Of the output. The figures from
the census show the average annual re-
turns per man employed in the several
enterprises 70 have been as follows
$$22s7 in agriculture.
$495 in numbering.
$764 in manufacturing
$1,9lo in metal mining
These results were secured in spite
Of the unproductive labor thrown away
y 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 il? Don't you think it
time to secure that block Of stock Won
have had in mind? Better do ii before
the next advance in price, which is
]. scheduled for August 20. Better do 1T
today, because there are several deals
on that may take every share Of the
stock OF the market.
The price is so cents per share now,
but YOU do not have to have all casl,
j IN buying what you want We will
make terms to suit your convenience.
