WHAT BEATS THIS ?
Mines and Mining Stocks Are
Not ALI Fakes.

We reproduce the following news
item from Atchison for the benefit of
those of our readers who seem to
think that all mines. mining stocks
and mining deals are frauds and fakes:
Atchison, Kan. June 22.-Accept-
ing mining stock in lieu of cash fee
for legal service when fresh from the
University of Kansas law school, has
brought a fortune to Louis ]. Camp
bell, who formerly lived here and who
is now leaving Nevada to retire to a
life of luxury and ease in San Fran
cisco.
Three years ago the Pelton Broth
ers, who had discovered pay dirt in
Nevada, needed legal advice. They
employed Campbell and the National
Gold Mining company of Nevada was
formed. Campbell had just graduated
from law school. He fixed the value
Of his services at $500 but because the
mine was undeveloped then, the Pei
tons had but little money. They Of
fered Campbell 10000 shares in their
mine instead, which he accepted. The
stock was valued at five cents a share
then.
The mining venture was a success
and soon began to pay dividends. A
few days ago Campbell sold his 10000
shares for the round sum of 100000
This stock increased in value in
three years 500 fold; it advanced from
five cents per share to $4,000. This
seems almost incredible, and vet
Granite Mountain" mining stock sold
in St. Louis for five cents per share,
and in less than two years the same
stock sold in st. Louis for S74.0O ber
snare-an increase of 1900 fold.
These are remarkable instances of be-
coming rich very quick in a 0iOing
deal and may seem to those not IA
m1liar with real, genuine mining. al
most unbelievable. Nevertheless. these
and thousands of other instances
where people have secured fortunes
IN a remarkably short time by invest
ing IN mining stocks are matters Of
reliable record.
The stock of the Arizona South
western copper company may not in
crease 500 fold in three years. but
from all indications. there is one
thing quite evident, it will increase in
value many times its present price.
and that too in a very short while.
There never was a more legitimate

average person to get that stock. How

little of the Hoffman" copper stock,
