How to Speculate
Money is made by getting in on the ground floor in all
mining prepositions. An i:.yestor putting up his money to
develop a new claim is the person who is entit!rd to the first
profits. The first profits on all gird mining deals are enorineus.
The Crown Iteterve Mining Uutnpany was composed of
thirty shares of 81,000 each. When the property had been
sufficiently develcped to warrant its being turned into a
Company, each syndicate shareholder received 30.000 shares
of stock in the Company, for each $1,000 lie had paid in.
Each share of these 30,0:10 shares is to -day selling at, *2.s.0.
The Temi-kaming as Hudson Bay Mining Coinpa::y's
shares were sold at 25c. each. To -day thy are selling at
$3.00 per share and have paid over 12,500% in dividends.
The Right of Way Mining Con:aauy's shares were sod at
150. and are to -day selling at $t per shs.re.
Thee results are obtsiued by taking the first chance. If
the property in which you aro interested turns out good,
you make a fortune, if not, you have a limited loss.
\1'e are organizing a ay dicate to operate four claims in
Gow Garda, the richest silver section .;ver discovered.
These claims, we think, will turn out well and shou'.d show
enormous profits to the syndicate members. The syndicate
will be for $50,000, divided into 100 shares of 8500 each. These
shares are payablo $100 cash and four further payments of
8100 per month. Of this 840,030 will be paid for the pro-
perties and $10,000 provided for working capital. If de-
velopment work warrants the for:nation of a Company, a
Cempahy will be formed with 82,00.000 cap`talization, and
each share in the syndieate will bo entitled to 15,000 shares
of stock in the Company, and the rcm:litsing 530.000 shares
will be left in the Treasury for future developments.
We strongly recommend the above as a g• o -d speculation.

It was alleged by the crew that
from the commencement of the voy-
ago there was trouble, owing to the
intemperance of the captain, and
the situation became so critical
that all available weapons were
secured. In his delirium the cap-
tain was so violent that he was
handcuffed and locked in leis cabin.
Even then, it is said, he was seen
to seize a bottle of whiskey between
his manacled hands, smash off the
top by striking it against the table,
'apply the jagged edges to his lips
and drink the raw spirit.
When sixty miles south-west of
the Lizard a conference was held
between mate and crew. The form-
er was in favor of continuing the
voyage, but there were five appren=
,tices on board, and the terror-
stricken appearance and pathetic
appeals of the youngsters support-
ed the wishes of the crew that the

this course was finally agreed upon.

into the leznret, a small compart-

Securely chained and roped, he was
lowered into the prison.
When off the Lizard an offer to
the steam tug Dragon to tow the
vessel to the nearest port was made
and accepted, and on arrival at Fal-
mouth medical aid was rendered to
the delirious captain.
There was a further scene when
an effort was made to transfer the
captain to the hapsital on shore.

struggle ensued as, with almost
