mining CONSIDERED
SAFE INVESTMENT

Mining is practical game.
Whenever mining is carried on as a
legitimate business for the develop
ment of an ore body it usually sue
ceeds. Unless money invested for
mining is so applied it becomes
criminal act and is a reflection upon
the honest calling of the splendid
cause of mining. Properly carried on
mining has no greater risks than any
commercial undertaking and as usual
money invested in mining ventures
brings bigger and quicker returns
than for money put into other en-
deavors. Such were the observa-
tions this morning of Tom Hines, who
departed for West Virginia on No. 10.
He further stated that his latest ad-
vices from National and Buckskin
were that the money expended in that
district for Development was bringing
results and proving the greater Ma
tional. Said he. ct have seen suffi-
cient of the high grade ore from the
Bell mine to assure that that Buck
skin property is one of the big things
in Nevada today and that is saying
very much when one considers such
properties as the Goldfield Consolidat-
ed, the Tonopah mines and the very
rich National mine, a close neighbor
of the Bell Buckskin National prop
erty but the case is that the Bell
property excels both in present show
ing of high grade ore running from
$40 to $50 per pound, and at the same
time has an abundance of mill ore
that is rich beyond the average mill
ore. The property has hundreds of
thousands of dollars of ore blocked
with probably an expenditure of ST.
600 in development. The reference to
this showing is to make good my
opening statement that investment
money usually fairly applied is a good
investment in mining and brings bet
ter and quicker returns than any 9TH
er business. For instance, using this
property as an illustration, some six
months ago stock was bought in the
property at 10 cents share and the
same stock brings now so cents a
share, and none of any amount on the
market at that price. There is a de-
mand for this stock and buyers ready
to take all they can get at that
figure"
Continuing Hines related that not
far from this rich property were the
seven claims of the National Buck
skin company, upon which prelimin-
airy work was proving all the indica-
tions of making another fine mine
property. The National Buckskin
is in charge of competent men who
know how to mine and prove the
value of a property. The Buckskin
National is driving a long tunnel to
intersect the rich Buckskin vein and
have no doubt when cut, figuring the
evidence and values in the upper
workings, that a big body of profit
able ore will be opened. The property
has great mine merit and is fortunate
in lying between the National Mines
and the Bell-Stauffer property, occu-
pying the same mineralized trend and
in genetic sense having the same
ofrmation that those rich mines have.
"The Stowe lease is in fine vein,
occasionally getting the native gold.
The National Mines, further north,
is producing ore on a profitable scale
and proving the bigger mine with
greater depth.
son our lease we are getting the
high grade. Our showing is such as
to prompt the confidence of making as
rich a producer as National has to its
credit.
"All in all National, with Buckskin
evidence, is in better form and shape
for rich, prosperous gold and silver
productive era than any period since
National has held place upon the
mining map"
