A"e "oe' promising OF MI mining enterprises

Co.'S, whose mines are situated In the Lawrence
Mining district, Pennington County, Black Hills
Dakota The company is legally Incorporated
with capital stock OF 900 shares Of the par
value of one dollar each. $4,000 shares are trans
ferred into Treasurer stock of the Co., and all
shares are worcestershire which make them
good investment and are being sought after by
the farmers, mechanics, laboring men and wo.
men, merchants and bankers, and 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, hoisting works, etc.
The Sullivan mine has been thoroughly tested
and proven to be a rich, natural assure running
the whole length of the mine, 1900 feet long The
following are stronger endorsements Of the val.

Mr.. c. NJ. SPRAGUE, Treas l75 Washington St.
The sample of ore left by you for assay on
Dec. 2, 1887, marked Sullivan mine, Weighing
lbs. (about), answering to the following descrip
ton: Rusty quartz with free gold, has been
carefully assayed and yielded to the ton Of 1000
lbs. av., gold 40 or, at s2O.67 u s. standard,
value s97.l5. Owing to the free gold the assays
vary somewhat, the highest being IL OF higher
than above, which is an average of four assays.

Dear Sir:-Your sample of ore from the Sulll-
van Mine proved to contain Gold, $30131 1910
ozs.) per ton e. 900 lbs silver, 0.73 OF.
Yours Respectfully,
WIN. ULENBERG,
Assayer and Metallurgist.
There is wood enough on the claim, which GOV.
ers 10 acres, to run the mills for years and an
bundant supply of water In Castle Creek which
runs within so 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
l 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 100000 shares. Mining
experts Of great practical experience in Califor
MIA, Arizona and Idaho have examined this
property and pronounced 1t to 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 porphyritic
quartz and the pay streak found to be ~ feet
wide and it is estimated by conservative experts
that there is now in sight in the mine, ore by ac
tual survey and measurement that will pay 3
900 dallars over and above the cost of mining
and milling the same.
Three 20 stamp mills can can be kept at work
for an indefinite period, and they will work lsC
| tons of ore day at an average of $500 ton
clear of all expenses, which would be net prof
it of SIG, 200 week or $s42, 400 a year This is
not an over estimate by any means and proves
that the company's shares are bound to be q
good paying investment because they are not af
| fected by Wall street. panics and they can only
be bought by subscription and are accessible tc
all In less than one years time 100 shares OF
the eompany's Gold stock ought to be worth 81
900. Mr.. F. j. Aver, the superintendent of the
mine is a personal owner and an honest, etficien
manager and 4 director in the company. Thi
is quite an important point with the stOckhol
ders. There is no country today on the face o.
the earth so rich in mineral wealth as the Blacl
Hills, and the report of Prof Walter P. Jenney
sent by the government to the Hills in 1875 witt
a military escort proves this. (See Senate doc
No. 81, 44th Congress.) IRwisely purchased golt
mines TINT are well managed and economical,
worked, the stosks always pay the purchaser al
interest fabalepsly large
c. NJ. Sprague, treasurer of the Company a
It's Washington ST. Boston, has-samples of tn,
ore and gold taken out of the Sullivan mine ant
| will be pleased to give any information desired
Bear in mind that the stock can only be bough
| by subscription at the treasurer's office, au(
| hat it Is worthy of investigation.
