The capital stock of this company is $025,000, divided into 025,000
shares of $1 each.
The company is incorporated under the laws of West Virginia, and
the stock is non-assessable, and carries with it no personal liability to
the holder.
The Gold Mixing Company (location, Music Mountains, A. T,) is as
sound a mining enterprise as was ever placed on the market, and its
possibilities have never been exceeded. Every share should double in
value within a year, and they may quadruple, as they are based on
property that would ordinarily have been capitalized ten (10) times as
great on account of its known richness and promise.
The shares are made small so that any one can invest. Subscriptions
for five shares are as welcome as those for hundreds.
Every dollar of earnings will go to the stockholders in dividends, as
there is nothing else that they can be used for.
A Wisewell mill, capacity 20 tons per day, with powerful machinery,
has been purchased and will be on the ground ready for erection at the
mine within the next thirty days.
The solid basis upon which the company is founded and the practical
proofs of the richness of the mine have already secured the confidence
of the public, and the stock has steadily advanced in selling value
Within the last few days bona fide sales have been made at par.
There is no better stock on the market for a permanent investment.

SECRETARY, Room 40 Le Droit Building,
Washington, D. C.
