 Beeks who held office under Judge Reed:
 It is easy to get. rich in Seattle. To the great horde of bread provid- CTS this news will be cheerful reve-
 lation. Heretofore, many have sup
 posed that the road to wealth laid ov-
 CT rough and rocky path that took years to travel, and that, in the ma
 jority of instances. disappointment awaited the weary one at the end of
 the journey.
 But things are different now, at
 least in Seattle.
 If you want to get rich in hurry,
 without working for the money, buy
 stock in the Shushanna Mining X
 Trading Co.,, Ltd. (See certain Se-
 attle newspaper for advertisement) The returns from this investment
 will vary between 800 and 1000 per cent, according to the estimate made by MT. Beeks, who is selling the stock in Seattle,
 MT. Beeks is nice man. He prob ably believes many of the things he
 says, but to the analytical mind his
 statements are replete with humor. The idea of this story is not to place the mining concern in bad
 light, but merely to enlighten the people of Seattle as to how to get
 rich, and at the same time show them the wonders Of the Chisana as told
 by MT. Beeks.
 cairnes Found 1t, He Says. One day last week dropped in i to the office of the Shushanna Min ing < Trading Co. to get some of its ! literature dealing with the riches of
 the new gold fields.
 Beeks, the man in charge of the
 office. received me cordially. and we ! began to talk about the wonderful richness of the Chisana. Although had spent fourteen years in the mining camps of fthe north, I learned things from MT Beeks which ; never before had suspected. Mir. Beeks related at length how,
 after the, company had pleaded with Dr. D. D. Cairnes, the eminent Ca nadian geologist, the latter had con- scented for $14,OOO to part with one
 half interest in the claim he had stalk
 ed for himself in the Chisana. The fact that Dr. Cairnes is Canadian,
 and thus cannot legally stake min ing claim in Alaska did not seem to bother MT. Beeks in the least. | Anyway, the Shushanna Mining & Trading Co has an interest in some
 mining claim in the new diggings. To date, according to MT. Beeks, that is the only visible asset the company has. The value of the stock. outside
 of that one little claim, lies entirely in the good intentions of the com pany
 But that one claim must be won der Under the glass covering the , table in the office is a picture of a
 small group of nuggets. These MT. Beeks said had been found on the ground of the company and brought out by Dr. Cairnes.
 This in view Of the fact that, ac- i ccrding to the companys own litera- ture, no work had been done on the claim.
 "The Trust Company Magazine" 9 publication issued to advertise the stock, of the company, in referring to the lone claim of the company, says:
 1 "No work whatever has been done on the property except for man to
 go out, run his shovel down. in the
 ground, and take. out a piece of gold as big as the and sof your finger, and put up the neeessary stskss.",
 N4sr1sR,. no hurry. no work. That
 man siinpiy < fah his shovel in the
 ground, picked up that piece of gold, set his stakes and came to the out side, where he sold half interest for $14.000. Continuing. the Trust Magazine says: eve do.a not know, and no man
 dare estimate. how much gold is in (Cont!nued on page 2.)
