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 Ii

bearing country in the world The Homestake

to be seen to be appreciated and Its gold bearing
resources carefully computed
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 1000 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 AZ feet
wide and it is estimated by conservative experts
that there is now In sight in the mine, ore by &C
tual survey and measurement that will pay 3
$50 900 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 Isl
tons of ore a day at an average of $500 ton
clear of all expenses, which would be net prof
it of SIC, 200 week or ss42, 400 a year This Ii
not an over estimate by any means and proves
that the company's shares are bound to be {
good paying investment because they are not af
fected by Wall street. panics and they can only
be bought by subscription and are accessible t.
all In less than one years time 100 shares o
the company's Gold stock ought to be worth o.
900. Mr.. F. j. Aver the superintendent of tn
mine is personal owner and an honest, efficien
manager and 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
military escort proves this. (see Senate doc
No. 81, 44th Congress.) In wisely purchased gol
mines that are well managed and economicall
worked, the Stocks always pay the purchaser al
interest fabulousy large
C. NJ. Sprague, treasurer of the Company a
lis 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.
