Dear Sir:-Your sample of ore from the Sulli-

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 Greek, which
| runs within so feet of the mine. These facilities
make very little expense in milling the ore, and
| 20 TO prove that the Sullivan Gold Stock Is the
soundest and best mining stock now offered to
1
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
10 be seen to be appreciated and Its gold bearing
resources carefully computed
Mines of less value than the Sullivan have beer
stocked for a million of dollars and more but
the company in order TO give intrinsic value to
It's stock aud pay large dividends upon the same
have only capitalized for 10000 shares. Mining
experts of great practical experience In CalifOr
MA Arizona and Idaho have examined thi:
property aud pronounced it TO be as fine fssur'
vein of gold as they ever saw 1t Is fairly In
the limits of truth to say that there Is no bette
mine In the Black Hills than the sullivan golt
mine, as the character of the ore is porphyritl
quartz and the pay streak found to be y fee
wide and 1t is estimated by conservative expert
that there is now in sight in the mine, ore by &C
tual survey and measurement that Will pay
$50, 600 dallars over and above the cost of mining
and milling the same.
Three 20 stamp mills can can be kept at worl
for an indefinite period, and they will work Is
tons of ore day at an average of $l5-OO ton
clear of all expenses, which would be a net prof
lit of $l6, 200 week or $s42 400 q year This
not an over estimate by any means and provo
that the company's shares are bound to be
good paying Investment because they are not a
fected by Wall street. pancs and they can onl
be bought by subscription and are accessible I
