An Investment Proposition
 Extraordinary

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Mint Gold Mining and Milling Co.,, Sept. 10. Director of Works Montgomery introduced resolution which passed without a dissenting vote. The resolution makes the minority stockholders who purchase treasury stock direc, from the treasury of the company preferred stockholders to the extent that all such stockholders who re- tain their holdings shall bn giver a preferred dividend out of the first net earnings of the company equal to the amount each pur chaser paid for his or her stock. This preferred dividend not to ap ply to owners, promoters or incor porators. or others who may have acquired their stock through any other source than a direct cash purchase from the company's treas- ury. '-
 This action of the directors of the Mint Company will be the cause of a great deal of favorable comment inasmuch as the direc- tors are now figuring on eeasing the sale of treasury stock about October 15.
 In our experience, it stands out unique and unparrallel in mining or any other enterprises for the majority stockholders to step aside and say to the minority stockhold CTS "you come first, my dear Gaston."
 MT. Montgomery has been known to Arizonians but few months. However, in these few months he has fully established here the rep utation he had previously estab lished in Utah, Nevada and Cali. fornia, a maker of mines and maker of money for the investors fortunate enough to be interested with him.

takes off his bonnet to no one. He has
a way of extracting laughs that is all
his own.

lie Clair are Smirl and Kessner, in a
farcical skit called THE Bellboy and
the Maid" Walton and Vivian. in a
comedy sketch entitled "The Actor and
the Lady" Doraine, in a song and
dance speciality, and Tillie Whitney.

on the piano keyboard.
