of the RentOn mine, IS developing
new mine on Cedar river opposite
Renton. He is selling two hundred
shares out of the six hundred, for
capital, at S25 per share.
Of this he only asks five dollars per
share to be paid at delivery of the
stock and the other twenty dollars
on completion of the shaft SO that
coal can be shipped therefrom. He
is now SO feet down and expects to
strike the coal at 17O feet according
to survey. When the vein is struck,
the company will increase its capital
stock to 5000 shares, thus affording
those wfo desire to sell, an easy OPP
portunity to do so. Capt. Brown has
already sold. in this city and Port
Blakely, some eighty-seven shares
out of the two hundred from which
he expects to develope the mine.
Books for subscriptions to the stock
of the company have been opened
at Pinkham II S;,xe's, where charts
