TIE VIRGIN GOLD MINING CON-
PANY'-The merits of this Company are
the theme of conversation not only with
men of business but with those not en-
gagged in commercial pursuits; it is we
believe acknowledged By every one that
no enterprise has ever been presented
to the attention of our citizeEs with such
variety of choice property for basis
aud upon such fair and equitable terms.
AS will be seen by advertisement
in this issue, "original interests in
this company can now be had at Sl0O
each. We are informed that subscrip-
tions are coming in from all quarters,
and the list is rapidly filing up. As it
is expected that the Books will shortly
close, those desiling TO avail themselves
of the opportunity now presented of sc.
curing one or more of these " interests
should at once send in their subscrip
tions.

well rs the capitalist, an opportunity to Sc.
cure an interest in this region of "practi.
cally inczhaustible " wealth.
~ all are aware, The usual plan adopted
for the development Of such property is -
form company and issue certificates of
stock. The plan here proposed may b"
considered preljmHorH to the formation Of
two or more Companies on these properties,
which arc suhjcc to no royalty, leases or
mortgages.
The Subscribers can then upon this sod
and substantial basis, elect officers from
among themselves, each subscriber being
eligible to the pos ton Of an officer of the
Company.
In order that handsome returns may he
speedily realized, these subscriptions are
based uponthc proposition that the subsc,-
bers imudiatcly on receipt of tho Deeds
lnow ready for delivery, and which may b"
examined at the Office Of the undersigned
before Subscribing, may lease their lands
on heavy royalties, or at once organic
Companies in the usual way for which there
is an ample basis.
TO accommodate those Of moderate mems,
these interests arc put at 800 eac o.,
in order to get the list filed at once, and to
prevent any delay in the organization ofne
Company.
