THOMAS MASON, Atty at Law,
Central City, Colorado.
The space Of circular is limited TO give
! the opinions Of numerous distinguished citizens
and men of science who have examined this dis
| trict the following extracts relate theretS, and
that of Professor Edward n. Kent in particular
of the New York U. S. Assay Office is directly in
point:
Our late lamented Presidcnt--Mr. Lincon-du-
ring an interview with Speaker Colfax, relative
to the hidden wealth of Colorado, Nevada, &c,
said
81 have very large ideas Of the mineral wealth
of our nation believe it practically inexhausti
ble."
The Hon. J. P. Upsher, Secretary of the Inte-
rior, in the Official Report presented to Congress,
dated December 5th, 1864, referring to the then
present condition of our Western Territories says:
1.-The wealth embedded in the rocks Of that exten
silva region is actually ineXhauStibie, and 1t will
! furnish in future years, indirectly principal
part of our means Of hguidating the debt con-
tracted by the Government for the overthrow of
| the Great Rebellion
The Hon H. z. Bennett, delegate in Congress
! from Colorado, in a speech before the House Of
| Representatives said: "Judging from what
know of the undeyeoped resources of this coun-
| try; from what 1 am told by practical miners who
are well informed upon this subject, do say here
to-day before this House and before this Country,
10 be placed upon the records and read Of all men
/ nj will he year
1869, the gold fields Of Colorado Territory will
produce $5O,060,000 annually and even then its
full resources of mineral wealth in gold alone re-
main not wholly developed. 1 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 more extensiye,quite as insxhaust
ible, and the gold bearing quartz Of much richer
| quality than in California.
Professor Edward n. Kent, of the New York
Assay Office, says;
| "As to the extent of the gold mines of Colora-
do, / am not prepared to give estimate,
found enough to fully employ my time within
radius of FIVE miles OF Central City, the location
Of the above Lodges but as to the richness Of
THEM, [ have hesitation in saying, that be-
Iiece them to be The richest discorcred. With
defence, capital and the Pacific Railroad Colora-
80 il destined in my opinion to rival or supersede
| California and Australia and become the III 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 f600,00O Of
| the Colorado mining lands, and their agents and
employees are now ca route to develop the same.
/ TEe claims principally in Russell and Trail
districts, and recent purchase has been the Sea-
ton Lode Of i00u feet for which they paid &l00,
coo.
| An idea Of the value Of some claims (lb0 feet
eaeh) may be formed when the fact is considered
| that often occurs that they yield millions Of dol
lars aud have in several instances been sold for
SIS, 1000 per foot Mr. Fields, from 33s feet Of the
Bobtail Lode has taken out already over 100000
IN gold and S266,00 has been offered and refused
for 345 feet Of this same lode, equal to SS00,000
for a claim Of one hundred feet
| As the purchase of either of the above lOdCs
| would require more money than the majority OF
persons have at eonIinaud 1t has been determined
| to consolidate them, and to divide them into
Twelve Hundred aud Fifty
ORIGINAL SI4A II Els
which will cost the subscribers hereto
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH,
thus aifording the of limited means, well
as the capitalist, opportunity to secure in
terest in this region Of practically inexhsusti-
bic" wealth.
As all are aware, the ususi plan adopted for
the Development Of such property Is to form
| company and issue certificates of stock. The
plan here proposed may be considered preiimiaa-
| RI TO the formation Of two or Companies on
tneSS properties Nhich are EubJcCt 10 no
lease or mortgages.
| The SUBscR1BEts can then upon this solid and
substantial basis, elect officers from among them
selves, each subscriber being eligible TO the posi-
tion of 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 un-
dersigned before subseribing,) may lease their
lands on heavy royalties, or at once organize
Companies in the usual way for which there is
ample basis.
To accommodate those of moderate means
these "interests" put at 500 each, in order to
get the list filled at once and to prevent any delay
| in the organization of the Company.
| Considering the numerous valuable "Ledges"
which constitute the basis of this entcFprise-the
fair and equitable features-the low prices at
which Interests in it offered, and that each
interest entities the holder to his pro share
Of stock in all the Companies that may be organ
lied upon them-aso reeoeeting that in all,
| there are only 1000 interests to be sold, and il
would only require one hundred gentlemen each
to take ($l0O0) to absorb the whole, it is pre-
sumed that it is hardly necessary to suggest to
those desiring to secure or more of these orig
nal interests, to at once send in their subsorip-
tions.
Checks or Drafts should be drawn to this order
of the undersigned whose endorsement will be
receipt in addition to the that will be prompt
ly sent receiving them.
