Here's Dollars for Cents

Owing to the present depressed condition of hnan- cal affairs throughout the country The kiaCk RveT Mining and Smelling Company of Flagstaff has placed block of five hundred thousand shares of its capital stock the market at the greatly reduced price of one cent per share making a thousand share certificate dollars which may be paid for m ten monthly instalments of one dollar each. Never before has the stock of this Corporation been offered for less than per share except that which sold for the purpose of organizing the company
 It is believed that when these funds have been ex- pended the work will have advanced far enough that the taken will pay for the development of the mines. Therefore it is expected that this will be the last stock offered for sale by this company.
 When the small amount of cash which this pro- position calls for considered, together with the derul possibilities a an investment of this kind, hardly afford to let the opportunity pass. Samples of ore be in the window of Rabbit Brothers grocery store.
