GJLL) MINING IN OREGON AND LAHO 1 A SAFE INVESTMENT The Certainty of La rise and Steady Returns From the Scientific Treatment oi Ores in the Thunder District, of Idaho, lit Quartz burg District of Oregon. Modern gold mining, when conducted upon approved, scientific meth ods, is a safe and lucrative business.

It possesses many features which commend it as being superior to any other industry. (jilii mining is the backbone of the business structure. It is the only business not affected by Trusts, financial panics, storms, drought, floods or the many adverse, elements which unfavorably affect other human undertakings. It is the only industry where the consumer seeks the producer, where there is no fear of over production, no hunting for customers, no decline in values. GOLD IS MONEY It is the standard of values, and worth its full price per ounce in every country on the globe.

A comparatively small chunk of gold weighs one ton, and is worth over a half million dollars. The product of the fold mine represents large weulth and small compass. GOLD 3I1' PAYS It nays better than any other business. According to the United States census of l'JOO the average return per man engaged in mining the precious metals was $1,910.00. In agriculture Ihe return per capita, in lumber, sawmills, forestry, in manufacturing $701.00.

AVhile the technicology of mining and minealogy may be a foreign subject to the average man, there is no reason why be should not be able to understand the vast majority of the conditions involved in any particular property. While all mining, no matter in what, form, is a. speculation (as are all other thoughhe be an exponent of integrity itself, the man has never lived who can say with absolute, cert ainty what is under the ground (or the profits that are to be in any business undertaking); it is possible, with the aid of science and good judgment, to reach a fair estimate of a property's worth. We do not want, a man "to go it blind," for in mining, as well as all other branches of business, there can be no guarantees honestly given until actual results have been achieved, therefore, we desire to place before every one all the facts obtainable before 1hey give serious attention to any I of our property. There are ilill'erent kinds of gold mining, the same as lint" ill Villi vlCIIC iIUIl ILL mih w.

ii in i nun. i ni wealth in different ways, and man seeks to wrest this wealth from the earth by various methods. omelimtM Gold is Found in Rich Po kets; again is fissure veins. The mining of gold in these fissures, and the seeking of these hidden pockets are expensive and hazardous. There is nothing sure about this kind of mining unless the pockets are found and the valuable ores, uncovered.

Senator George Hearst, the California mining king, onco said, ''Give me low grade ore and lots of it." Senator Hearst was one. of our greatest mining operators and a multi millionaire, lli and a few associates made the Home Stake Mine, in South Dakota, one of the greatest mines in the world. Many people who have money to invest have had experience only with the old fashioned pocketty kind of mining. In this sort of mining a few win and a great many lose. These same people would have money to invest in a good gold mining proposition if they could be convinced that it was safe, and certain to return profits to the investor.

It is to this class of conservative investors that we want to present the stock of the Oregon Idaho Gold Mining Company. AYe claim this proposition to be as absolutely a safe investment as can be found in the gold mining business, and we stand ready to submit proofs, which will bear out the truth of our assertion. The properties of the Oregon Idaho Gold Mining Company are located in the Quart.burg Mining District, Oregon, and Singiser, Lamht county, Idaho (within the great Thunder Mountain district). This is a Consoliilii.ion oF 3iini Interests which has been brought about for the purpose of carrying on modern scientific mining on a large scale, in ordej to assure permanency of dividends, when commenced, to the company's stockholders. Seeral hundred thousand dollars have been spent on these properties, and they are to day in a splendid state of development.

On the Idaho property there is an excellently equipped fifty ton a day mill; Electro Cyanide Amalgamation process, with a four hundred ton capacity ore bin; two Bryan crushers, each of twenty five tons per day capacity; one Blake rock breaker; a Corliss, So horsepower engine; two boilers, each fifty horsepower; fifty ton a day tank capacity with agitators; two dynamos, one for furnishing electrical current for ore treatment and the oilier is used for lighting purposes.

at the Monument mine there is a first class hoisting plant and shaft house. The plant consists of one 30 horsepowor engine tor hoisting, one three drill Rand air compressor; one 50 horsepower boiler; a well equipped blacksmith shop, and all necessary facilities for operating without hindrance. The ore is conveyed, by tram cars to the mill, a distance of some twelve hundred feet. The ore body averages thirty five feet, with two distinct veins of high grade ore, six feet in width, running in value from fifteen to fifty dollars per ton. There, are fifty thousand tons of this high grade ore blocked out and in sight on the present development, alone.
