ferred into Treasurer stock of the Co.. and all

good investment and are being sought after by
the farmers, mechanics, laborng men and wo.
men, merchants and BANKERS, aud they are rea.
sonably sure of receiving large dividends upon
their investment. The company Is composed OF
good business men who have put their own mon.
ey Into the mine, prospect and developing work
and now offer $4,000 shares, which are selling at
their par value, to put In needed machinery,
stamping mills, bois,ing works, etc,
The Sullivan mine has been thoroughly tested
and proven to be rich natural issure running
the whole length of the mine, 1900 feet long. The

| There is wood enough on the claim, which GOV.
ers 10 acres TO run the mills for years and an a.
| bundant supply of water in Castle Greek, which
| runs within 80 feet of the mine. These facilities
make very little expense In milling the ore, and
| go 10 prove that the Sullivan Gold Stock is the
| soundest aud best mining stock now offered to
the pubc-it being guaranteed against assess
ment 1t should be born In MUD thar the Black
Hills were unknown to white men until 1874, con.
sequently mining is new business there, but 1t Is
showing itself and proving to be the richest gold
bearing country In the world The Homestake
Father De Smet, Caledonia and other valuable
mines proveit- The Sullivan mine ne Ids only
to be seen to be appreciated and Its gold bearing
resources carefully computed.
Mines of less value than the Sullivan have been
stocked for a million of dollars and more, but
the company in order to give intrinsic value to
its stock and pay large dividends upon the same,
have only capitalized for 500 900 shares. Mining
experts of great practical experience in Cafor
MA Arizona and Idaho have examined this
property and pronounced tito be as fine fissuye
vein of gold as they ever saw. 1t Is fairly in
the limits of truth to say that there Is no better
mine in the Black Hills Than the Sullivan gold
mine, as the character of The ore is porphyriic
quartz and the pay streak found TO be AZ feet
wide and tits estimated by conservative experts
that there is now in sight in the mine, ore by ac
tual survey and measurement that will pay :
900 daliars over and above the cost of mining
and milling the same.
Three 90 stamp mills can can be kept at work
for an indefinite period, and they will work Isl
tons of ore day at an average of $1,000 ton
clear of all expenses, which would be net prof
it of Sl6, 200 week or $Si2 400 a year. This i;
not an over estimate by any means and prove:
that the company's shares are bound TO be q
good paving investment because they are not af
fected by Wall sreet panics aud they can only
be bought by subscription and are accessible tt
all. In less than one years time 100 shares Of
the cOmpauy's Gold stock ought TO he worth T.
600. Mr.. F. J. Aver, the superintendent of thu
mine Is personal owner and an honest, eiicien
manager and q director In the company. Thi
is quite an important point with the slockhol
ders. There is no county today on the face o
the earth so rich in mineral wealth as the BLACK
Hills, and the report of Prof Waller p. Jenney
sent by the government to the Hills In 1878 witt
a military escort proves this. (See Senate doc
No. 81, 4Hh Coneress) In wisely purcha -ed golt
mines that are well managed and economical,
worked, the Stocks always pay the purchaser al
interest fahulously large
| c. NJ. Sprague treasurer of the Company a
us Wa -hington ST., Boston, has samples of tn,
ore and gold taken out of the Sullivan mine, an,
will be pleased 10 give any information desired
Bear in mind that the stock can only be bough
by subscription at the treasurer's office, au,
hat 1t is worthy of investigation.
