THOMAS MASON, Atty at Law,
Central City, Colorado.
The space uf circular is too limited to give
the opinions Of numerous distinguished citizens
and men o. science who have examined this dis
tTiet the following extracts relate thereto, and
that of Professor Edward n. Kent in particular
Of the New York U. S. Assay oaioe is directly in
point
Our late lamented President--Mr. Lincoln--du-
ring an interview with Speaker Collax, relative
to the hidden wealth Of Colorado, Nevada SC,
said
Il have very large ideas Of the mineral wealth
Of our nation believe it practically inexhausti
ble.H
The Hon. j. z. Upsher, Secretary Of the Inte-
rior, IN the 05iciet Report presented to Congress,
dated December 9th, 1864, referring to tie then
present condition OF our estern Territories says.
s|Ihe wealth embedded in the rocks or that ext9n-
siy0 region Is actually uexhaustiblc, and it viii
furnish in futurc years, indirectly principal
part of our means Of liquidating the debt con-
tracted by the Government for the Oycrth roWof
the Great Rebellion.
The Hon. ii. p, Bennett, delegate in Congress
from Colorado, IN a speech before the House %
Representative said Judging hvm what /
know OF the undeYeioped resources of this conu-
tryj from what / am told by practical miners WAC
well informed upon this subject | do say here
to-day before this House and before this Country
TO be placed GpoH the records and read of ali mcn
that within fye years time, and by the year
1869, the gold fields vi Colorado Territory viii
produce S50,0OV0jB annually and even then It's
full resources Of mineral wealth ia gold alone
main not wholly developed. | speak from the
united testimony of many practical miners who
have spent many years IN the mines Of California,
when say :-thaJ the gold Bearing region OF
Colorado Is lar more eXtensh e,quite as inexhaust-
ibie, and the gold bearing quartz Of much richer
quality than ia California.
Professor Edward n Kent, o. th4 New York
Assay Uhlee, says:
As To the execnt OF the gold mines OF Coiora-
do, am not prepared 70 give estimate, l
found cnough 10 fully employ my time within a
radius Of five miles OF Central City, Lthe location
OF the above Lodges, but to the richness of
THEN, have hesitation in saying, that / De-
ttere them ~ be he riehsst diaeorcrea With
defence, capital and the Paci6e HaIlroad, COiDIa-
SO IS destined IN my opinion, to rival saPerse,se
California and Australia, and become tlie ii Do
RADIO Of the World.
The opinion entertained bY those abroad Of
claims in this district, shown ~ the following
extract
English capitalists have purchased 1630,u0B of
the Colorado mining LANDS, and tAcir agents and
employees arc now route 10 develop The same.
ihe Claims arc principally ia Russell and Trail
districts, and a recent pu3shuse has been lhc sea-
ton Lode Of 1000 feet for l;hch they paid EI00,-
An idea Of the value of SOME claims tltO feet
each) may DC formed when the fact is considered
that often occurs that they yiele millions of dol
lars and have IL several mEtanees been sold Tor
S23,Uu0 per i0Jt. Air. tIcds, tra 535 feet oI the
Bo5tsd lode has taken out alresEIy over S-UO, ,UU8
in gold, aud S256,Ut0 has been offered and refused
i0r rs feet oi this same lode, equal to SS00, $500
tor a claim OF one hundred feet.
As the purchase of either OF Jlc above i0,Ass
would reqUire more money thau the majority OF
persons have at command It has teel determined
TO consolidate tHeG, ANA to divide them INTO
Twelve Hundfcd and tI.ty
ORIGINAL SEI IARES

thus ai0rdiug the mau ot limited means as well
as the capitalist an opportunity to secure an in
terest IN TINS region Of practically nexhausti-
| ble wealth.
As all are aware, the usual plan adopted for
| the Development Of saeh property is to form a
company and Issue certificates of stock The
plan here proposed may be considered prellmiliq-
~ to the formation OF two or more Companies on
these properties winch are subject to royalty,
lease OK mortgages.
