EMPIRE BUILDER SAID MININI3 IS
 R0AD. FORTUNE
ENGLISHMAN WON STUPENDOUS MINERAL WEALTH FIGHT
 ING GREAT ODDS

Mining has been the foundation of the worlds wealth from the bel ginning of time. The governments rich in mineral have always been the richest and strongest govern ments on earth. Mining is the only business on this earth that increaS- es the wealth of the world without infringing on the rights of others.
 The man who produces gold, sill yer and copper is creating the raw material of money; every stroke of his pick adds to the wealth of every mans business in the world. Min ing has always been the quick road to fortune
 I have made a study of this ques- tion and my investigations show that mining has always offered greater inducements than any business in the world, to make quick and great wealth. This inves- tigation shows that farming is more risky than mining; that 32 percent more people lose money and fail in mercantile business than in mining; that 41 percent more people lose money and fail in manufacturing business than in mining; that IT percent more peo- pie lose money and fail in banking than mining; and that more peo- pie lose money and fail proportion ately in any of the professions than in mining.
 Mining is the backbone of all wealth and the spinal column of all oi t- know a score and a half of men and women who few years ago invested in mining com pany, and some of them only a small amount, because that was all they had to invest. These people have cleared anywhere from $25,- 900 to $55O,O00 Often $500 in a good mining stock will pay the fortunate holder $100OO0 more than it could possibly pay him if invested in any other securities. So say that I believe investing money in good mining stock is the most profitable investment, and very much the safest. Why safe? Bel cause the security is the ore itself the raw material of money.
