CUNNINGHAM, WILLIAM 8. ODELL. Hackberry. Arizona. I The capital stock of this company is $625,000, divided into 025,000 shares of $1 each.

The company is incorporated under the laws of West Virginia, and the stock is non-assessable, and carries with it no personal liability to the holder. The Gold Mining Company (location, Music Mountains, A. T.j is as sound a mining enterprise as was ever placed on the market, and its possibilities have never been exceeded. Every share should double in value within a year, and they may quadruple, as they are based on property that would ordinarily have been capitalized ten (10) times as great on account of its known richness and promise. The shares are made small so that any one can invest.

Subscriptions for rive shares are as welcome as those for hundreds. Every dollar of earnings will go lo the stockholders in dividends, a. there is nothing else that they can be used for. A Wisewell mill, capacity 20 tons per day, with powerful machinery, has been purchased and will be on the ground ready for erection at tho mine within the thirty days. The solid basis upon which the company is founded and the practical proofs of the richness of the mine have already secured the confidence of the public, and the stock has steadily advanced in selling value Within the last few days bona tide sales have been made at par.

There is no better stock on the market for a permanent investment. For full information in regard to this Mine apply to the SECRETARY, Room 40 Le Droit Building, Washington, D. C..
