| The sullivan mine has been thoroughly tested
aud proven to be rich, natural assure running
the whole length of the mine, 1900 feet long. The
following are stronger endorsements OF the val.

Lookout, Pennington County.
Dear Sir:-Your sample of ore from the Sulll
van Mine proved to contain Gold, s3O.I3Q 1910
ozs.) per ton( 600 lbs silver, 0.73 or.
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 a.
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 1t. The Sullivan mine ne eds only
10 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 500, 900 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 tits estimated by conservative experts
that there is now in sight in the mine, ore by ac
tual survey and measurement that will pay 1.
100000 dallars over and above the cost of mining
and milling the same
Three 20 stamp mills can can be kept at work
LOT an indenhlte period, ana they Will work $50
tons of ore day at an average of $500 ton,
clear of all expenses, which would be a net prof
IL of $4,000 week or $50, 400 year. This is
not an over estimate by any means and prov9s
that the cOmpany's shares are bound to be a
good paying investment because they are not a t.
fected by Wall sreet 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 aud an honest, efficient
manager and director in the company. This
is quite an important point with the siockhol.
ders. There Is no country today on the face of
the earth so rich in mineral wealth as the Black
Hills, aud the report of Prof Walter p. Jenney, |
sent by the government to the Hills in 1873 with |
a military escort proves this. (See Senate doe |
No. 81, 4"h Congress- In wisely purchased gold
mines that are well managed and economical lily
worked, the Stocks always pay the purchaser an
interest fahulously large
c. NJ. Sprasue, treasurer of the Company at |
lI5 Washington ST., Boston, has samples of the
ore and gold taken out of the Sullivan mine, and |
will be pleased to give any information desire
Bear in mind that the stock can only be bought |
by subscription at the treasurer's office, aud
hat it is worthy of investigation.
