perty. He returned few days ago. and a.
tue meeting made an interesting and sstls-
factory report OF his trip. He exhibited
number of specimens from the company's
o,o.pec,s. The folio siD. famed prospects
are osned BY the dodge CITY Mining Com
pany: The Beverley, Romeo, Headlight
Dsn, and White Swan. These prospects
have been worked according to law. The
principal prospects showing favorable indl'
cation of mineral are the Beverley and the
Romeo These prospects are located adjoin-
ing a mine owned by Chicago company,
which bear. the title Of Gertrude. The Ger
trnds has reached a depth Of about nifty
foo, and has a three foot lode. An assay OF
$4,000 ha. been made from this mine. In
order TO make a comparison We will describe
the Gertrude and Beverley, the later owned
b. the Dodge City Company. At the open
ing the Gertrude ore assiyed 4-6o ounces 10
the ton. Al the opening the Beverley as
s,yea 23O3 ounces to the ton. The Beverley
h,s lode of seven feet, while the Gertrude
hasa lode of only three feet. 1t is suPPo'ed
that when the Beverley prospect is opened
farther that greater results will be SHOWN
than that of the Gertrude. MIR. Brewer
gives q most encouraging view Of the pros
nsc,s His statements are verified by news
paper reports He has become s'ockhoid'
or in the Company. He says the Chlcsgo
Company will put up q 100 stamp mill in
the vicinity of tue Dodge City mines and
,ba, three other mills will be erected II
close vicinity. We should state that Thu
Romeo prospect assays II ounces to the ton
ASSAYS on the other prospect, do not SNOW
such good results. The Board Of Direcio''
