The property of this Company consists of
twelve mines and mining locations, located
in Lake County, Colorado, in the vicinity of
Leadville, upon all of which extensive work
has been done, in all cases exhibiting true
tissue veins, good pay streals, and well defined
lodes.
Three of the leading mines are well opened
up and have at the lowest computation over
TEN THOUSAND TONS OF ORE IN SIGHT.
BY May LIST the Railroad now under construc-
ton will be within a short distance of this
property.
The Company proposes to sell portion of its
stock at $3.50 per share for the purpose of more
completely developing its mines, and for the
erection OF works for the treatment of its ores.
Application for the stock may be made to the
office of the Company, 81 Broadway, n. Y.

which they now wish to extract and send to
market. Our readers will do well to make
venture with these worthy men; their money

Murray Hill society has lately bcca

In this instance the young lady Is both
beautiful and highly accomplished. and
her lover. the cOachman, Is Young and
good looking. but very illitcratc. II Is
said to be n case of love nj FIRST sight
BE that as II may, the couple carried on
their courtship so aTdcntly and boldly
that eventually one Of the gcntleman's
neighbors dropped him a note through
the mail, asking him il hc knew of the
conduct Of his daughter. The father
was astounded upon learning Of the
affair and NJ once called his daughter to
an account. She Acknowledged that she
knew the coachman and had spoken to
him on several occasions. but this was
all. Her explanation deceived him 20
thoroughly that he ceased to watch her
movements for n time. Subsequently.
however, he found among his daughters
effects during her temporary absence
from her home, several letters from the
love-smitten Jchu. which still further
opened his eyes and confirmed all that
had been written concerning the couple
by his friend. The result was a stormy
interview. during which the young
lady's mother was so affected that
she said TO have tainted. Soon af(er
this, and despite the vigilance of the
parents of the young lady, she clandes-
timely met her lover, and arrangements
were perfected for their marriage, which
were frustrated by the appearance on the
scene Of the father when the couple were
on their way to the residence Of min
lister whom they had engaged TO perform
the ceremony. The coachman was dis
charged by his mistress and the young
lady was taken 10 her fathers country
residence, where she Is now reported 90

joining her lover.
Prior to this unfortunate affair the
young lady had been receiving the COM
pany of young, wealthy and talented
physician, who had asked her hand In
marriage and had met with favorable
response. The shock produced by this
affair has nearly crazed him. and he has
since, by the advice Of his friends
