We soUci: accounts Miners. Merchants and Individuals. Dust purchased on assay value. Collections Given Prompt Attention. THERE'S A REASON, DOUBTER Two Weeks Will See Stamp Mill on Newsboy Property Ready for Operation, as Work Is Carried on Fast.

GOOD PART OF MILL HAS BEEN PUT UP Again the question has come UP about: Why the Georgia-Florida Land company advertise so much; also why is it that che land is 'so cheap, and why they are offering it for sale in this far away place, so remote the land. For the benefit of those people th.at do not understand these ques- fjjkfis those chat are "scared" to take a chance, we will say that the reason, we advertise so much is that we want to tell ail the people al! about our land all over the district, for the more people we tell about it the more business we ca.n do, and our success in having customers on about every creek of any prominence shows that the have read about our liberal offer even on the creeks and that they want to get a start in life and have bought one or more tracts. The reason the land is so cheap is for the fact, chat the company had about 2,500 satisfied customers that they secured when they sold a tract of iand in Pecos Valley, Texas, and they conceived the idea to give alt of them a chance to get in on this large tract that they bought and paid for. and instead of spending 3 0 0 0 0 in. magazine ad-1 vertising, to give it to the customers in.

cutting down the price than any a i i che land we are selling: for when the price is raised this coming year, every purchased has made a raise of per acre or 5175 on- his tract and he will i be a wilting advertisement for us and cell his friends and neigh-1 bors about it. We will gladly deed free to any one that wit', so to our locality and buy land adjoining us on our terms and price. This '-s fair and square, and we can assure you that people go there all parts of the United States and this is our to any one. The reason a we are ing you land for sale in this place, is the fact that the local representative was a resident of the city of Fairbanks, and a customer of the company when they were Pecos Valley land, and he knew a were so many people in Alaska that were siraply i i along and not trying to a start, only on a large scale: and che liberal terms and price they buy land, and the insurance a the contract. he succeeded in convincing the company that he could do some business and that he would like to try anid be paid in.

land, for he would have to return on business. That his idea was correct, is a matter of fact. He has sold maay tracts, has many contracts to close up, and will have at least 50 tracts to form the Alaska Colony In Southeast Georgia. The company does a strictly Mail Order business, with the exception of this one office, and you may rest assured that you would never have had this opportunity to make yourself independent for life on an investment ot down and over two years to pay the balance of 5525 less the $35. The people we spend our money with are doing the sam-e as the agent here, taking their pay in land, and they are wise la doing so.

In a course of a very short time the 3,000 tracts of 35 acres each will be settled and the value of the land will go op very rapidly. Do not fool yourself about tie climate of our locality. We have shown you many letters of people living there and every one testified to the grand climate where no man or beast ever suffered from the heat, and coupled with the sandy loam soil, clay subsoil, average rainfall about 47 inches, a crop is grown every month in the year, and being only hoars from Washington, D. Xew York, and 31 hours to Chicago, with first class railroads running through the land and the possibility of shipping al! kinds of garden truck, chickens and egas in the winter season, to say nothing of the Pecan Orchards that will make you absolutely independent for the of your life. You have the best markets in the country, ge: the highest price your goods, live in the prettiest climate you could wish for.

Where else, or did you ever hear of such an offer. We can say tha; you have not. Fisher McGillviray Will Start Work Today of Sinking on Cleary Extension of Newsboy Ledge.

If nothing untoward happens, the Newsboy mill will be ready for operation inside of two weeks, as the work is being rushed rapidly.

By clinging to the rough surface he managed, however, to raise himself up a number of feet, when he was confronted by a wall of smooth ice, which he was unable to scale. Luckily, he had his prospecting pick with him, and so hit the plan of tunneling at an angle to the surface. After six hours of strenuous labor, i which time he had to rest frequently, owing to his weakened condition, he reached' the surface.
