There Is wood enough on the claim, which COW
ers 10 acres, 10 run the mills for years and an a.
bundaut supply of water in Castle Greek, which
runs within so feet of the mine. These facilities
make very litte expense in milling the ore, and

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 Califor-
MIA, Arizona and Idaho have examined this
property and pronounced it to be as fine fissure
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 ac-
tual survey and measurement that will pay :.
$50, 900 dalars over and above the cost of mining
and milling the same.
IHree ~ stamp mills can can De kept at WORK
for an indefinite PERIOD and they will work $50
tons of ore a day at an average of $500 ton,
clear of all expenses, which would be net prof.

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 to
all In less than one years time 100 shares of
the company's Gold stock ought to be worth al
600. Mr.. f. j. Aver, the superintendent of the
mine is a personal owner and an honest, efficient
manager and 4 director in the company. This
Is quite an important point with the stockhol-
ders. There is no country today on the face of
the earth so rich in mineral wealth as the Black
Hills and the report of Prof Walter T. Jenney,
sent by the government to the Hills in 1875 with
military escort proves this. (See Senate doc.
No. 81, 4ith Congress- In wisely purchased gold
mines that are well managed and economically
worked, the Stocks always pay the purchaser an
interest fabulously large
G. M. sprague, treasurer of the Company at
lis Washington ST. Boston, has samples of the
ore and gold taken out of the Sullivan mine, and
will be pleased to give any information desired.
Bear in mind that the stock can only be bought
by subscription at the treasurer's office, aud
hat 1t is worthy of investigation.
