There is wood enough on the claim, which GOV.
ers 10 acres, to 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
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 200 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 Ia 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'll estimated by conservative experts |
that there is now in sight in the mine, ore by &C. |
tual survey and measurement that will pay g. |
dalars over and above the cost of mining |
and milling the same.
