4 Card.



The undersigned old resident of the city
of st. Paul has, since the fall of 1878, been
residing in the city of Denver and the
Rocky Mountain mineral belt westward of
1t in Colorado. Familiarizing himself the
first eighteen months with the gold and
silver mineral bearing localities of that
region, subsequently engaged in selecting,
locating, and developing the valuable fat
vein mining territory of the Mosquito
Range and Buckeye State Consolidated
Silver Mining company, of Park county,
Colorado
With this personal prefaceI desire to
add interesting valuable business details,
and respectfully call the attention of
larger or smaller capitalists, having money
for use in a iudicious aside investment, to
the above styled enterprise as one of
large promise of good returns
within reasonable time. The two
groups of mining claims belonging
to this company are located on the east
slope of the Mosquito snow range of the
Rocky mountains in Park county. The
Leadville carbonate vein, fat or blanket.
silver ore deposits are on the west side of
the same mountains directly opposite this
company's property, and by a straight
course through the range not more than
four to five miles distant, probably less.
These celebrated carbonate ores at and
near Leadville are found in stratas, know
as "the contact" at various depths under
ruling indications, lying between continu-
Gus horizontal solid qualifications of white
poprhyry, dark limestone and quartzite.
Each of these solid stratas carry more or
less silver, according to the depth, until
pay ores in ''the contact in place" is reach
ed, the sinking being accompanied as
depth is gained by a liber-
al flow of strongly impreg-
mated mineralized water peculiar to
successful mining in these formations.
Since the discovery of these extensive de-
posts at Leadville, in 1873, that camp
alone has produced more than S60,OOO.OOO.
and continues equally if not more largely
productive at the present time.
By personal investigation by certain of
the most experienced and well-known
trusty miners, familiar with that general
locality, the same porphyry, dark lime
stone, and quartzite mineral qualifications
were traced from the high points above
Leadyille, across the mountain to the east.
on our side the range, thence by gradual
descent in the abrasion of the MOSQUITO
gulch cliffs. until they disappear under the
debris near timber line in the direction of
this eompany's territory on the slope be-
low.
From developments and discoveries
already made in our claims
and near vicinity, the ruling
indications and mineral contact in place"
are found to be the same as those at and
near Leadville. Our altitude and theirs is
practically the same, or IO,5OO to 1880
feet above tide, both camps being below
timber line. Our DEVELOPMENTS in the
town or Mosquito range group of claims
consists mainly of one shaft 80 feet deep
with improving good indications in the |
greater depths; also another nearly on the |
slope above 1874 feet deep, with usually |
favorable debris formations; both these |
shafts are stronly and securely timbered |
from top to bottom nine feet by four and |
a half feet in the clear.
The Buckeye state group of claims are |
just below timber line, the shafting on |
each claim in solid, good formations. Al |
most adjoining these, on lower side. |
other parties have on two separate
claims got down to the blanket
deposit ore in place of four and a half
to five feet thickness, yielding mill-run
values of $50 to $3.50 per ton, and very
easily mined.
Careful estimates for our future deyel-
opments warrant our mining superintend-
emit In believing we shall reach good paw
ing contact mineral in place, in the $40
feet shaft and one of the Buckeye state
shafts, in four to six months, and probably
in three to four months.
The company is provided at the lower
camp with two good steam engines, one
twenty -fve and the other twelve-horse
power; also pumps, wrought iron six and
three inch pipe, suction hose, wire rope
and general outfit of cabins, shaft houses.
necessary tools and so forth, all paid for
and the company entirely free from debt.
In view of the company's expectation to
push developments in both the 80 feet
shafts, and one shaft of the
group near timber line at the
anne time the present season, they have
let aside for working capital, and that pur-
bose only, certain amount of the com
'any's stock and authorized the under
igned, as president and acting treasurer
Turing development, to sell a limited num-
er OF these stock shares at ground floor
alues.
The charter of the company is for
wenty years, and as organized under the
avs of Colorado, free from all personal
ability. Par value of shares Sl0. It is
