la
flkntls resdor. are you on the mining
claim sucker list? If you are you will
know It by thin slfrn, mwnely, the receipt
of much second class mall by every de
livery. It come from everywhere from
Colorado, from Nevada, from California
and from Boston, Mas. If It cornea from
the the three place flrat named It la
direct from "the mine" (sonorous Bound
n word "mine"). If It come from Bos
ton, of course It la from the head office
of "the company."
Why have the get-rlch-qulck artlata cast
their eyea on Omaha ao suddenly and ao
overwhelmingly? The Influx of thl clans
of mall advertising gold, copper, allver,
ilnc and other mines has Increased to such
a volume and with auch suddenness that
tt threaten to swamp the postofflce. Has
ome unscrupulous bank clerk sold a list
of the depositor to some gigantic com
bine of "near-mines" or Imaginary mines
or mlght-be mines? No one knows, but
the fact remains that the literature Is
flowing Into the city In a great, steady
stream. The fact also remains that It I
coming unerringly to people who have
jnoney and could buy If they wished. Un
fortunately for the mailing list the person,
who got It up was not able to check off
those who might be gullible, to separate
.he sheep from the foxes. Therefore there
U a considerable waste of postage and
paper.
Nothing bat Altruism.
Ah, the suavity of those gentlemen who
re exploiting these mines! Such forget
fulness of self, such love for the human
race, uch perfect altruism. Gentle reader,
these good men are planning day and night
to have you share In the wealth which
Ihey have diacovered In the fastnesses of
the western mountains. Is not this true
joclallsm. true cnmunlsm? What more
Is needed to bring about the mtllenlum?
Nothing. It la here If the people only
knew It. '
There were day when a man prospected
for yeara and then after he had discovered
a good "digging" he enjoyed the fruits of
his labor Bolllshly. But that Is far In the
past. Such la not the procedure of tho
best men today. They seek to Bhare their
good fortune with tholr fellow men.
The president of the company In Boston
was thinking of you personally when he
wrote that letter. The letter la a model
of frankness and It breathes the spirit of
brotherly love. You can Bee tho great man
sitting there In his swivel chair before his
mahogany desk In the palatial offices of
the Ought-To-Be-Oold-Mlntng company.
Outside In the public offices scores of clerks
re busy with the greut business of the
company. Jn the quiet and luxury of tho
private office the president la dictating
this personal letter to you.
No Cob Talk About It.
It Is not a swashbuckling letter, neither
is It the letter of a bombastic visionary.
It la a calm, reserved, business-like letter,
the letter of man who has been over his
ground and knows Just where he stands.
The president writea that he "has Bpent
many years In practical mining work."
The miners "know and have confidence In
Jilm." Furthermore, he Is conservative.
"I am not figuring on this proposition to
make a million in a day or two," he says,
and finally this sturdy old prospectqr puts
the proposition to you. "Are you with
tne?" ho asks with every word under
scored. Bless your soul, gentle reader, how could
you help but be with him? Look at the
offering there of "treasury stock" at 2
cents' a share (par value $1). There's the
envelope enclosed, too, and there's the
blank In which you can make out your ap
plication for the stock. If you have any.
further doubts read that blue circular,
which tells In interesting manner of the
discovery of the mine. An old Indian scout
and a trapper figured prominently In this
epochal event. What a scene Is depicted
when the two rough men, unlettered and
untutored In clvllaiatton's niceties, strike
tielr pick Into the rock and find before their
eyes the glittering yellow treasure. Such
Was the beginning of the Ought-to-Be-Ooll
Mine."
Actaal Test of tho Ore.
If you still hold back you can read the
actual test of the ore from the different
shafts. Each shaft has a name. There Is
Hurrah shaft, where ore ran only 13.28 a
ton. But there Is the Weyler shaft, where
It ran 114.5.04 a ton. Kindly note that the
small bearing ores are published as well
as the big ones. Truth must be told.
Now look at the map and you will at
once perceive that tho Ought-to-Be-Mlne
lies light next to the Parachute mines.
Which are owned by the aame people who
developed the famous Easy Money mine.
(Never heard of It? Well, It was easy
money anyway for somebody.)
Finally, If you still are prejudiced In
favor of the savings bank forVyour hard
earned coin, look at this yellow slip. It
Informs you that Alpha Beta stock went
begging at 3 cents a share. It Is now
worth PM and none for sale at that price.
Beta Oamma stock was laughed to scorn
when offered for I cents. Now you can't
buy it tor $860. And so on. The astute man
who buys Ought-to-Be stock now at t
uents will be rich man in his middle and
latter days. His children will be the sub
stantial oltlsena of the state and his grand
children wtll whls through space on air
ships while the descendants of such short
sighted. Improvident peisons as do not buy
this stock will have to walk, to say the
least. ,
And, so cordially trusting that you may
see fit to Join us In this proposition, we
beg to remain, vary sincerely yours.
