GOLD IN THE BLACK HILLS.
The most promising of all mining enterprises
now on the market Is the Sullivan Gold Mining
Cos, whose mines are situated In the Lawrence
Mining district, Pennington County, Black Hills
Dakota. The company is legally Incorporated
with capital stock of 500 600 shares of the par
value of one dollar each PAS 600 shares are trans
ferred into Treasurer stock of the Co., and all
shares are worcestershire, which make them a
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 $1,000 shares, which are selling at
their par value, to put in needed machinery,
stamping mills, hoisiing works, etc.
The Sullivan mine has been thoroughly tested
and proven to be rich, natural assure running
the whole length of the mine, 1900 feet long. The
| following are stronger endorsements of the val
ue of the mine than anything that could be said
or written in general way concerning its true

There is wood enough on the claim, which COW
ers 10 acres, to run the mills for years and a
bundant supply of water in Castle Greek, 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

Hills were unknown TO white men until 1874, con-
sequenty 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

the Limits of truth to say that there Is no bette
mine in the Black Hills than the Sullivan gol'

that there is now in sight in the mine, ore by &C
