THOMAS MASON, Atty at Law,
Central City, Colorado.
| The space Of circular is too limited to give
| the opinions of numerous distinguished citizens
and men Of science who have examined this dis-
trict the following extracts relate thereto, and
| that of Professor Edward n Kent in particular,
of the New York u. s. Assay Office is directly in
point:
Our late lamented President-Mr Lincoln-dis-
ring an interview with Speaker Colfax, relative
| to the hidden wealth of Colorado, Nevada, &e.,
said:
sT have very large ideas of the mineral wealth
of our nation believe it practically inexhausti
| ble."
The Hon. J. 2. Upsher, Secretary Of the Inte
rior, in the Official Report presented to Congress,
| dated December 5th, 1864, referring to the then
present condition Of Western Territories, says
fffThe wealth embedded in the rocks of that exten
sivs region is actually inexhaustible, and it viii
furnish in future years, indirectly principal
part of cur means of liquidating the debt con-
traeted by the Government for the overthrow Of
the Great Rebellion"
The Hon. H. P. Bennett, delegate in Congress
from Colorado, in speech before the House OF
Representatives said: Judging from what i
know of the undeveloped resources Of this coun-
| try; from what am told by practical miners who
are well informed upon this subject do say here
to-day before this House and before this Country,
to be placed upon the records and read of all men
that within five years time, and by the year
| 1869, the gold fields Of Colorado Territory will
produce $50, 600, 600 annually and even then its
full resources of mineral wealth in gold alone
main not wholly developed. l speak from the
| united testimony of many practical miners who
have spent many years in the mines of California,
/ when say that the gold-bearing region OF
Colorado is far extensive, quite as inexhaust-
ibe, and the gold bearing quartz of much richer
| quality than in California
| Professor Edward n. Kent of the New York
| Assay Office, says:
Gas to the extent Of the gold mines of ColOra-
do, am not prepared to give an estimate, as l
| found enough to fully employ my time within
radius of FIVE miles of Central City, Ithe location
| of the above Ledgesl but as to the richness of
THEN, have 10 hesitation in saying, that be-
here them to Be the richest diseorcred. With
defence, capital and the Pacific Railroad, Colora-
so is destined in my opinion, to rival or supersede
| California and Australia, and become the Ell Do
/ RADIO of the World.
| The opinion entertained by those abroad OF
claims in this district is shown by the following
| extract
English capitalists have purchased 960o, 600 of
/ the Colorado mining lands, and their agents and
employees are now route 10 develop the same.
| The claims are principally n Russell and Trail
districts and recent purchase has been the Sea-
| ton Lode of 1000 feet for which they paid fl0o,-
! coo.
4 An idea of The value of some cl&iins (1o0 feet
! each1 may be formed when the fact is considered
that often occurs that they yield millions of dol
lars, and&ave in several instances been sold for
SIS GOO per foot Mr.. Fields from 33h feet Of the
Bobtail Lode has taken out already over 100000
in gold and 1896, 900 mas been offered and refused
for 341 feet of this same lode, equal to $S00,00e
! for claim of one hundred feet.
As the purchase of either of the above lodes
would require more money than the majority Of
4 persons have at command, it has been determined
| to consolidate them, and 10 divide them into
| Twelve Hundred and Fifty
ORIGINAL SHARES
which will cost the subscribers hereto
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH
| thus afording the man of limited means, as well
as the capitalist, opportunity to secure an in
terest in this region of practically incxha1sti-
| bic" wealth.
As all are aware, the usual plan adopted for
| the development Of such property is 10 form
company and issue certificates of stock. The
! plan here proposed may be considered pretipaiaa-
| ~ to the formation of two more Companies on
/ these properties which are subject 10 royalty,
/ lease or mortgages.
| The SUBSCRIBERS can then upon this solid and
substantial basis, elect officers from among them
selves each subscriber being eligible 10 the posi-
/ tion of an Officer of the Company.
In order that handsome returns may be speedily
/ realized these subscriptions are based upon the
proposition that the subscribers Immediately on
receipt of the Deeds (now ready for delivery, and
/ which may be examined at the Office of the
dersigned before subscribing may lease their
lands on neavy royalties, or at once organize
Companies in the usual way for which there is an
| ample basis.
To accommodate those of moderate means
these Interests" are put at $Iea each, in order to
get the list filed at once, and to prevent any delay
in the organization of the Company.
| Considering the numerous valuable 'tLedges"
which constitute the basis of this enterprlse--the
/ fair and equitable features---the low prices at
which 'sintercsts In it offered, and that each
interest entities the holder to his pro rGta share
! Of stock in all the Companies that may be organ
/ ized upon them--also recollecting that in all,
there are only 1000 interests to be sold, and ii
would only require one hundred gentlemen each
to take ten ($lQ00) to absorb the WHOLE 1t is pre-
| sumed that it is hardly necessary to suggest to
those desiring to secure one of these orig
nai interests, to at once send in their subscrip
| tions.
| Checks or Drafts should be drawn to the order
of the undersigned, whose endorsement viii be
receipt, IN addition to the enc that will be prompt
| " sent ON receiving them.
