This is an industrial rather than a Mining Company. We have
he only Hydraulic Machine Mining System (patented)that will work
in the frozen ground of the Klondike and the Northwest, where we
rake our machines and extract the gold from the claims of others,
just as thrashing ni 'chines are taken into the wheat country to
h.et-h 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 gpld that is *
ly lost by other methods, so it can readily “be seen what enormous
profits we will earn in the fabulously rich gold mines of the Klondil •
and the Northwest, with which every one must be acquainted.
Every prospector th re is our prospector, for he must eventually
come to us to have his claim worked. Therefore we believe we
shall in time be payin as large dividends as the world-famous en
terprises mentioned above. Ours is a similar industrial.stock which
