error. These Investigations show
that mining has offered always
greater inducements. to make quick
and great wealth than any busi-
ness in the world.
$50 / would say that believe
investing money in a good min
ing stock is the most profitable of
investments, and very much the
safest. And why safest? Be-.
cause your security is the ore it
self-the raw material of money.
The security for your money in
vested in a mining company is
the mine itself-its actual value.
"Think of it: few years ago |
offered in London stock in min
ing company at $500 per share.
It is selling now at $4,000 per
share. Yet you paid but $500.
To get hold Of such shares is like
finding money.
.I am asked about the advisa-
ility of men and women Of small
means investing in mining stocks.
NV. answer is that they are the
Z rsople of all others to make such
Investments. They have too little
money to do them any good at
three, -four, five or six per cent
return; while, on the other hand,
twelve. twenty, thirty, forty, th-
ty, and sixty per cent on their
small investments would bring
them comfort and plenty.
"There are plenty Of good min
ing companies paying twelve to-
fifty per cent on early investment
in their shares, and paying at such
rates steadily through long periods
of years; and often there are ex-
ceptional opportunities in the
growth of many Of these compan-
les where thousands of per cent
are. the result.
"To a man or woman who has
only $500, three to six per cent
interest is not very, much; being
only from SIS to, $40 annually.
But 4O% per annum on $500
would be $500 per year, which
would be really substantial re-
turn from an investment 80
small. With an investment of$5,-
600 at 49o a man. realizes 5000
year, which is not much for such
an, investment. But were the $5,-
900 invested in good mining
company with an assured proper
ty it would be practically certain
to pay from 1870 to 40% every
six months, which would be from
5000 to $14OO annual income.
Mining is the backbone of all
industry. / can see a score and
half Of men and women in this
audience who few years ago in
vested in a mining company at
my suggestion. Some Of them in
vested but few dollars, because
they had only a few dollars to in
vest. These people have gained
anywhere from $4,000 to $55,.
600.
"Often $500 invested in a good
mining stock will pay the forum
ate holder more than 100000
could possibly return him if in
vested in municipal bonds, rail-
road bonds or realroad stocks.
People who need most of all |
to invest in good mining stock are
those who can invest only from
$25 to $1,000-the small investor
because if. held it can be sold
for hundreds per cent profit, or
If held for dividend will return
great and , lasting revenue, en-
abling poor man or a poor woman
to climb the ladder Of wealth
quickly and expeditiously."
OF course Mr.. Rhodes assumed
that his auditors understood that
their investments should be, made

Ingenious Plea
Saved Him Often

Well meaning persons who are
only too ready to sympathize with
criminals, might derive a badly need
ed lesson from the record of Barry
Gardner. sent to San Quentin prison
ia>t week for forgery, according to
officials at the county Jail where
Gardner : record was received this
morning.
Following his plea of guilty in the
superior court. Gardner told Judge
Cole that he came of prominent
nal act was caused by his craving
Tor drugs. to which he confessed he
had been addicted for the past eight
months. but had been without mar
cotirs since he was arrested.
He declared he was willing to go
to prison in order to ''get off the
dope He had been three years to
a California university, he told the
Judge.
According to his record, Gardner
has had plenty of criminal expert
ence, and has used at least four
aliases. He was first arrested in
Los Angeles in 1913 on q grand lar
ceny charge, but managed to escape
punishment. Four other grand lar
cenv charges We're filed against him
at various times over period of six
years, but he managed to evade go
ing to prison.
The record also shows that he was
arrested once for robbery, once for
concealed weapons. four times on
drug charges, once for petty larceny
ana once for vagrancy. He was
first arrested as a drug addict and
peddler in 1921 and the other three
arrests We're made since that time.
He was let off with light sentences
on each occasion.
Gardner aroused considerable
sympathy from persons who came
in contact with him, unaware that
his story was only a blind to hide
his criminal record.
