Deep Mines Stock VIII Advance 60 Per Cent March 1st

Every dollar invested in sinking the shaft in
Deep Mines brings nearer the goal OF the Z4OO
foot level. The deeper we go, the more valuable
Deep Mines Stock becomes. We're down over
ll50 feet now-so in justice to present stock
holders, the ptice has been advanced from l2N
cents to 20 cents share, effective March ! ST.
1922. After the small allotment at 20 cents has
been sold, the directors say the price will be ad-
vanced to 35 cents a share.
This news substantiates my previous assertions
that the price of Deep Mines Stock is ridiculously
low and that now is the time to buyl The pos

There's no more honest business in the world

The geologist, Mr. Corrin Barnes, the president
of the Company Mr.. A. |. Darcy and the sec

long experienced engineers). and the bankers
and substantial business of Nevada are
backing the deep mines undertaking with their
money.
They certainly expect to make profit. You

into lowering this big shaft down to depth All

there is justification for this belief for the judg-
