Show THE WINNING CARD less than two years an impoverished miner traded an old and broken down pony for 2000 shares of mohawk stock of goldfield and 15 in cash he needed the money but he did not set much store by the stock the latter he placed in a tin can which he tucked away in the crevices of his cabin and when he left for the outside he came away and left it when he reached the railroad he found that mohawk stock was worth 17 a share mohawk in a its earl early y days was looked u upon p on as a wildcat which shows that even an animal of this character has a chance to make good this miner turned the winning card but he did not know it at the time which proves that a mining enterprise is legitimate if money is being intelligently and carefully used in mine development in any district where big mines have found and where the extent of the mineral belt has not been absolutely sol proven it is not always the first discovery in a district which proves to be the most valuable and owners of subsequent locations whose properties are some distance from proven mines may find eventually that they hold the winning card for years mining operations have been in progress at fay nevada and stateline Stat eline utah and yet a little effort a little systematic de held out by the section of country now marked on the map as gold springs and yet a title litle effort a little systematic de has proven the jennie to be the equal if not the peer of any operated mine in that section and the company without witheat doubt has the winning card up its sleeve this has not been a pickup with the company as was the mohawk stock with the nevada miner but comes as a reward of merit for trials endured good judgment employed and the energetic brawn and brain backed by the confidence of investors I 1 less than two years ago it is stated ji the stock of the vulcan mining company 1 operating at hunter nevada was offered at five cents a share and yet quite recently engineers have reported that the mine has blocked out in its workings and now the stock of the company is held at a share it was never held that the vulcan was a wildcat wild cat and it took time and money to prove its actual value or OL course had its real value been but vaguely realized at the be beginning inning no stock could have been had at five or even fifty cents a share tie the man who bought in the early days of vulcan development and exploitation took his chances but now he holds a 1 winning card the colorado mine of eureka utah was not listed fisted on the local exchange until august 1908 less than two years ago the opening bid was thirty five cents since that time the company has paid in dividends its mine is bigger and greater than ever and its stock is now active at between 3 and 4 in the bidding because of the location of the property of the company it held a winning card and systematic development and operation has proven the fact that the man who bought in when the company was first incorporated was using good judgment although he had no guarantee that he would win out in the end not every one can hold the winning card eliminate all risk and no gain would or could exist this element of risk sounds the keynote of every investment whether it is along industrial financial or oe mining lines the object of investment is gain but there is no certainty that the investment will be a profitable profitable one whatever its nature may be but taking everything into consideration the wise and cautious investor in the mining industry stands a good chance of holding the winning card |
