Spain produced the Cid, Christo

The Opportunity of a Life-time
For Big Dividend--Paying
X Investment 1 X
THE ALASKA GOLD PLACER MACHINE MININGCOMPANY
Capital stock $5,000,(X)0 —full paid—andnon-assessable.Promisee to be
as good as the Beel Telephone, Westinghouse Air Brake, Grapho
phone or Phcnograph and other similar industrial enterprises which
ire paying thousands in profits to their shareholders.
This is an industrial rather than a Mining Company. We bavs
the only Hydraulic Machine Mining System (patented)that will work
in the irozen ground of the Klondike and the Northwest, where we
take our machines and extract the gold from the claims of others,
just as thrashing machines are taken into the wheat country to
hresh out the farmer's wheat. One of our machines does the work
of over 1,000 men each day and we save the 40% of gold that is usual
liy lost by other methods, so it can readily be seen what enormous
I profits we will earn in the fabulously rich gold mines of the Klondike
•md the Northwest, with which every one must be acquainted.
Every prospector there is our prospector, for he must eventually
come to us to have bis clailn worked. Therefore we believe we
shall iu time be payin as large dividends as the world-famous en
i
terprisss mentioned above. Ours is a similar industrial stock which
ui only br had for a limits! timi at ths very low price of $2.50
or $lO 09 share.
