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 Creek, which
runs within 80 feet of the mine. These facilities
make very little expense In milling the ore, and
go to prove that the Sullivan Gold Stock is the
soundest and best mining stock now offered to
the public-it being guaranteed against assess
ment. 1t should be born in mind that 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 prove it. The Sullivan mine needs 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
he company In order to give intrinsic value to
It's stock and pay large dividends upon the same,
have only capitalized for 100000 shares. Mining
experts of great practical experience in Caifor.
mia, Arizona and Idaho have examined this
property and pronounced tito be as fine assure
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 porphyriiic
quartz and the pay streak found to be ~ feet
wide and It'll estimated by conservative experts
that there is now in sight in the mne ore by ac-
tual survey aud measurement that will pay 3.
$50, 900 dallars over and above the cost of mining
and milling the same.
L Three 20 stamp mills can can be kept at work
for an indefinite period, and they will work $50
tons of ore a day at an average of $500 ton,
clear of all expenses, which would be a net prof
1t of 1920 week or $s42,4OO year This is
not an over estimate by any means and proves
that the companys shares are bound to be a
good paying investment because they are not af-
fected by Wall street. panics and they can only
be bought by subscription and are accessible to
all IN less than one years time 100 shares of
the company's Gold stock ought to be worth 81
900. Mr.. +. j. Aver, the superintendent of the
mine Is personal owner and an honest efficient
manager aud director in the company. This
is quite an Important point with the stockhoL
ders. There Is no country today on the face of
the earth SO rich in mineral wealth as the Black
Hills, and the report of Prof Walter P. Jenney,
sent by the government to the Hills in 1915 with
military escort proves this. (See Senate doc.
No. 81, 44th Congress.) In wisely purchased gold
mines that are well managed and economically
worked, the Stocks always pay the purchaser an
interest fabulously large
G. NJ. Sprague, treasurer of the Company at
IFS Washington ST., Boston, has samples of the
ore and gold taken out of the Sullivan mne and
will be pleased to give any info,m ion desired.
Bear In mind that the stock can only be bought
by subscription at the ueasurer's Office, aud
hat 1t is worthy of investigation.
