GOLD IN THE nLAcK HILLS.

The most promising of all mining enterprises
now on the market Ia the Sullivan Gold Mining
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 100000 shares OF the par
value of one dollar each 245 900 shares are trans
ferred into Treasurer stock of tho Co., and all
shares are non assessable, which make them u
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.
ne of the mine than anything that could be said
or written in a general way concerning Its true
value:

Dear Sir Your sample of ore from the Sulli-
van Mine proved to contain Gold, $30,13(l As 100
ozs.) per tone 900 lbs silver. o.7s OF.
Yours Respectfully,
| WIN ULENBERG,
Assayer and Metallurgist.
| There is wood enough on the claim which coy-
ers 10 acres, to run the mills for years and an a
bundant supply of water in Castle Greek, which
runs within so feet Of the mine. These facilities
make very liitle 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 publlc-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 ne eds 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 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 Calfor
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 porphyrlie
quartz and the pay streak found to be AZ feet
wide and ills estimated bv conservative experts
that there is now in sight in the mine, ore by &C
tual survey and mea -uremeut that will pay :
$50. 900 dalals over aud above the cost of mining
aud milling the same.
Three 20 stamp mills can can be kept at work
for an indefinite period, and they will work lSt
tons OF ore a day at an average OF $loVO Ton
clear of all expenses, which would be net prof
1t of SIS 200 a week or $s42, 400 year This il
not an over estimate by any means and proves
that the compauy's shares are bound to be
good paving Investment because they are not af
fected by Wall street. panics aud they can oDl,
be boueh hi by subscription and are accessible Il
all In less ,han one years time 100 shares o
the company's Gold stock ought TO be worth : |
900. Mr.. f. j. Aver, the superintendent of tn
mine is personal owner and an honest, effcien
manager and = director in the company. Th
is quite an important point with the stockhol
ders. There is country today on the face o
The earth so rich In mineral wealth as the Blacl
nails and tho repos-e OF Prof W"ier p JcpneJ-
sent by the government to the Hills in 1875 will
a military escort proves this. (See Senate doc
No. 81, 4th Congress- In wisely purchased gol,
mines that are well managed and economically
worked, the Stocks always pay the purchaser al
interest fabuiously large
c. NJ Sprague, treasurer Of the Company a
175 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 1t is worthy of investigation
