| Americans are proverbial fot the ayidity
| and commendablc zeal with which they
| participate in enterprises having for their
object the development of our national re-
sources. At one time Railroads at
another " Coal"-then Copper" or
"Iron," and more recently "Oil" have
been the all absorbing topics.

than others, according to their investments
Mining operations in the folds of Colora
do and elsewhere noW mainly engross the
public attention. Considering that severa
such companies have been already organ
ized-that they are now st work--that the
reports from their mines are highly favor
eble--that it is known that at the present
time there are on the way from the lodges

Of silver" and " bricks of gold" it is
believed that the enthusiasm already mani:

able companies will spring up, whose stock,

, prices of lodges, will necessarily be less do
sirable than that now to be had-thereby

occasion now presented, of securing I" "ori-
ginal interests" an opportunity Of then
/, disposing of the large amount Of stock each
holder receives, at a handsome advance.
, With these preliminary remarks the fol-
= lowing PROSPECTUS is respectfully prcscn
ted.

to be organized by the sale Of these d" ori
ginal interests" consists of the following
