Americans are proverbial TO-. the avidity
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
"1ron," and more recently "On" bave
been the all absorbing topics.
In all these several enterprises. ns will
them made money; some larger amounts
than others, according to their investments.
Mining operations in the fields of Colora-
do and elsewhere 5low mainly engross the
public attention. Considering that several
such companies have been already organ.
ized-that they are now at work-that the
reports from their mines are highly favor
eble-that it is known that at the present
tire there are on the way from the ledges
of Nevada and Colorado numerous "bars
Of silver " and bricks of gold" it is
believed that the enthusiasm already mani.
tested on the subject will, in little time,
be so greatly increased on the receipt and
exhibit of these returns" that innumer-
able companies will spring up, whose stock,
being based at the then greatly inflated
prices of lodges, will necessarily be less de-
sirable than that now to be had-thereby
giving to those who avail themselves of the
occasion now presented, of securing "ori-
einal 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 presen,
ted.
