The Verndale Minstrels gave an
entertainment at Peake's Opera
House last evening, to a fair sized
audience. The performance was
good, but would probably have been
appreciated better by our people had
not our own Amateurs given sn-
perior entertainment last winter,
with nearly the same programme on
the first part, with the exception of
the jokes. which were somewhat old.
However, we are glad the boys had a
good house, and if the troupe should
ever see fit to come again, they will.
we hope, greet another large audience,
They show at I'crham tonight.
Mining Stock Company.
We have received printed pam
phlet. or prospectus of the Franklin
Silver Mining Company, of Chicago,
Illinois. The officers of the company
are located at 100 Dearborn street,

village. The officers of the company

The property Of the Franklin Sill
Yer Mining Company is situated in
the famous San Juan mining country,
in the southwestern part of the State
of Colorado. and consists of the fol-
lowing mines. to wit: San Juan,
Idaho, Silver Lily, Adams, and Alb
bott.
There being large quantity of
timber and magnificent waterpower
on the Idaho and San Juan lodes, the
company desires, in view Of the great
economy in so doing, to reduce their
own ores. The company have been
exceedingly fortunate in securing the
services of general manager for
their properties, residing at the
mines, who is thorough business
man, chemist and metallurgist, who
is acquainted with the latest i'm
proved mills for reduction, and has
vast experience in the successful
working Of all classes of ores in all
the principal mining camps of the
country. Fully realizing the great
value of the company's properties, he
gives his services to the company
without any salary, only charging
actual expenses, and only depending
upon the value he can make of a part
Of the company's capital stock, of
which he is the owner, as I. consider
alton for his services. They all
mean business, and all work with the
sole object Of rapidly enhancing the
value of the stock Of the company.
At meeting of the directors of
the Franklin Silver Mining Company,
held at the principal office Of the
company, in Chicago, ILL.,, on the 5th
day of November, 1881, the follow

adopted:

7 Of $40 per share.
The company have set aside 5000
shares of it's capital stock, which is
declared preferred stock; $500 shares
of said stock is offered at the nominal
sum Of SIS per share for the purpose
of immediate development of the

. essary buildings, reduction and
sanpling works, ETC., etc. The re-
manning $500 shares to be reserved
us (: contingent fund, and not to be
disposed of at less than par value ($sl0
per share).
The company guarantees a divid-
end of at least 10 per cent. upon the
preferred stock of the company on or

mass Of high grade ore in sight in the
company's mines fully justi6es the
above guarantee.
