The Mount Wilson gold and silver min
ing company, whose prospectus we pub
lished some time since, has shipped an
other car of 10 tons. The returns from
this lot have been so satisfactory that the
company has decided to stop the sale o.
stock for which subscriptions were open
ed. We print their circular letter to thu
shareholders as follows:
The returns from the second car of higl
grade surface are as follows: Assay value
$3.50 per ton ;smelter bids 1928 "A per ton; gros
value OF l9,4s2 pounds, 1925 %; less freight
etc, $l59 IS; net cash returns for car, $2O65 As
There being now some IL 900 shares of the new
stock subscribed for, the executive commit
tee have decided to limit the time for furthe
subscriptions to January ID, 1891. In all case
the first payment of % per cent. must be mad
at time OF subscription. No subscription viii
be considered binding unless such payment i
made.-[ohver T. Sherwood, secretary.
We understand that sufficient stock ha
been subscribed to provide the necessar,
machinery to work on the property. Tn
last two car loads of 10 tons each tina
were shipped netted to the compan,
over $500, above smelter and transpor
tation charges. The ore has shown grea
J improvement in the lower level, the mir
eral there showing value of $3.50 pc
ton from actual sales, as against $75 pc
ton in the upper level. In view of thes
facts, it is now believed there will be n
necessity for further stock issue and,
this quality of mineral continues, tn
company ought to be on a paying basi
at an early date.
