endeavor to buiid up legitimate mining
enterprise, that would be credit to
Humboldt county, have met with 20
much encouragement and confidence from
every Que that we would succeed in over
comlug all difficulties in smelling our
ores, that we are pleased to announce
through the columns of your widely CIR.
cuiated paper that the question OF hnd.
ing suitable fluxes for our ores has been
satisfacto. lily settled. aud the results
proved that they can be successfully and
proftably worked. The property Of the
company has developed into what we
believe to be the largest body OF copper
ore IN the State, ii not ON the entire
Coast.
Commencing work at an old prospect
shaft, which was started on the Vein, We
suok It deeper, the entire depth being in
goo ore, and started to DRIFT north. At
a distance OF so feet an upralse was made
to the suf zee, following the hanging
wall. This was done for the purpts Sc of
making q good working shaft, and as it
was in ore all the time no dead work was
done. The drlit north was then extend
ed 60 feet, running all the way on ore
some of very high grade. A crosscut was
also start d from the old shaft, and run
west, for the purpose OF ascertalning the
width of the vein. This crosscut has
been run so feet, the face is in rich ore,
the foot wall than when we commenced.
We have also run other crosscuts, sufti-
cient to show that we have a body of ore,
SO far as developed. over 100 feet in
length, reaching to the surface, and
proved so feet in width, and still unde.
termined as to its entire width. All the
drifts, being in ore, we're run Of large
size, generally from to 8 feet wide, and
the ore of such a quality as to need no
sorting. In addition to this, the Com
pany has erected hrst-class smelling
plant, with capacity OF 40 tons per
day, and all the necessary appliances for
conducting the business at the least pos.
sible expense. After spending much
time and money in overcoming the many
difficulties that attend all new enter
prises, we find ourselves confronted with
one more, that was entirely unexpected
the question of a sufficient water supply,
and at the present time this is receiving
our careful attention. 1t has been sug-
gested by some public spirited man that
we remove our smelling plant nearer the
railroad and larger water supply, and,
in connection with our own property, es.
tablish reduction works suitable for the
treatment of such ores as are found in
the adjoining districts. After a careful
consideration OF the subject and investi.
CATION of the quality of the ores of these
districts, We can see that with sufficient
capital an immense business could be

of profit to the company, but directly
and Indirectly benefit to every man in
the county, and very great encourag-
ment to it's mining industries. Backed
by the large property already owned by
the company, no enterprise inviting cap.

for success, which, in fact, is assured
from the start.
Althou. h the Adelaide is an incorpor.
ated company, the stock of the company
is held by the managers, and with their
limited means and careful economical
management, has been brought to its
present standing. They came into your
county avoiding public notoriety as much
as possible, with the intenton of build.
ing up legitimate enterprise that would
command the confidence of the people
before they would place any of their
stock on the market. We wish to make
the business a local one for Humboldt
county, and wonld prefer that the lin.
tied amount of stock which we propose
to offer should be taken by the public
spirited men of the county, and we invite
every one who feels an interest in the
