RECORD ORE SHIPMENT
BY BIG CREEK COMPANY
ESTIMATED THAT IT WILL GIVE
A NET RETURN OF $500
PER TON.

The Big Creek Mining company is
now loading car at Shont station,
near the mouth of Big creek, that Is
expected to make a record for the dis
trict. The ore has all been delivered
at the foot of the hill, having been
first sacked and then hauled on go
devils from No. tunnel, far up the
mountain side. The car will consist
OF about 43 tons of gray copper ore OF
the same character as that on display
at the Anderson Lumber & Hardware
colnpany's store, though OF course not
as clean and free from waste. 1t is
estimated that the shipment will net
about $500 per ton, making the net
value of the car approximately $751;
600. rhe chief value is silver. but
copper is also an important factor.
The ore is being hauled from the foot
of the hill to the railroad, a distance
of about two miles, and 1t is expected
that the loading will be completed by
Saturday.
Cut Vein by October.
Good progress is being made in the
crosscut which will cut the vein $50
feet below the level from which this
shipment is being made, and 1t is esti-
mated that the vein will be reached
early in October. The appearance of
lead In the upper tunnel has given
rise to much speculation as to the
character Of ore that will be found In
the crosscut. but whatever the show
ing proves to be, It is reasonable to ex-
pect continuation of the high values
In silver.

When the representative of the no.

a proposition to build us a hotel.
which our town very much needed. I
was skeptlcal and took particular
pains to investigate the financial
standing of the company, and the
reputation and financial responsible
ity of its officers. I was so well sat
isfied with my investigation that
took stock in the company and ad-
viSed my friends to do so.

mind in any way and have found the
company doing more than it agreed to
do, and living up TO every promise and
agreement made. We are going to
have a hotel that is a credit to our
community. and that viii be a source
of revenue to the company and it's
stockholders because it is being built

badly.

Dear Sir: With reference to your
inquiry regarding the North AmeFican

to state that have investigated this
company to the fullest extent, and
these are my findings:
They are building a chain of hotels
thruout the Middle West states, and
it happened we were one of the lucky
towns to get a consideration for a
hotel. The company has wonderful
future, indeed, and with the hotels
they are now building. and those to
be built soon, I do not hesitate to
recommend this stock to you for an
investment. realizing as I do the Sc
curity behind it.
The people of Norfolk need not
fear about the company doing all they
agree to do. as we have found them
straightforward business men, in
every respect.
Personally, 1 have quite a block of
this stock, and can say I consider it
one of my best investments.
Yours very truly,

concerning our fine, new hotel build
ing just being completed here in

subscribed for 100000 of the CAPT

broken for the building. The COM
pany received good local support
here. They commenced building OPP
erations at once, put through the
erection of this building sooner than
We expected.
The building itself is a fine build
ing, with every detail looked after,
and will be a credit to our city and

years to come. Their building and
work in this city has met almost unan-
imous approval of our citizens, and
We certainly are pleased that We met
these gentlemen, and that they con-
sented to invest a part of their money
with us. This town is one of the
many towns which needed a hotel and
if their locations are in towns as we'll

est on the investment will be far
greater than that guaranteed.

Hampton, Ia, Nov. %, 1917.
Dear Sir: A little over a year ago
the people of this city discovered that
it was to have a modern hotel, some
thing that has been a crying need for
years. Many were skeptical as to the
project ever coming thru, even after
the work had started
Today however, with magnificent
three-story fireproof hotel nearing
completion, I am sure there is not a
single person in this place but what
appreciates and gives full credit to the
North american Hotel company for
what it has done for Hampton.
The most impressive fact to come
under my observation in reference to
this matter has been the apparent
broad-minded attitude of the company
in its treatment of employees and the
public. and its honeat construction of
the building.
1t is true beyond doubt that the
best of materials have been used thru
out, and that nothing has been slight
ed in order to cheaper the cost of the
work. This seems to me to be a good

amount of money in construction, as
well as to give the property the ad-
vantages of fine appearance and the
best possible use of space.
But what appeals to me most IS the
location of those properties. They
ar, in the sections of this continent
which nature has most lavishly pro-
vided for. The hotels themselves
contribute to that general prosperity
and to the retention in local commu-
mites of the vast wealth garnered
annL-lly from the sell. People from
al over this section travel to the
larger cities TOW to enjoy for fixed
periods the comforts and Injuries of
good hotels. The need the recrea-
ton which can be Cbtained in this
way and they expect to pay for it.
They are spending fortunes every year
in the maintenance of great hotels in
great centers.
This is not a new tendency, either.
As long ago as Shenstone wrote, this
was remarked upon:
