 The Mount Wilson mining company. owned and controlled by Southport par ties, is opening up vein of silver and gold bearing mineral that in richness and quantity is surpassing the expecta- tions of it's shareholders. At the close of last seasons work, two car loads of mineral taken from the surface outcrop were shipped, milled and sold, returning a net profit of $3500, or $175 per ton. Since then, tunnel has been driven in on this same body of ore and a vein of foot in width has been developed, of val ue running from $25O to $195O per ton It is expected that a large quantity of this valuable "stuff7' will be shipped, this season. Colorado mines that have opened with such favorable product are rare, even among the bonanza lodes. The quality of the ore is most desirable and it's richness unusual. The attention of investors and mining men in that locality has been drawn to this prospectus and parties there are now negotiating to se- cure a lease upon one of the other claims of the company. They propose to pay all the expenses of working and devel- oping for a share in the output. It is rare that mining property controlled by foreign parties developes sufficient promise to induce the local mining men to want to come in on basis of paying all expenses for share of prOspectiv 6 profits and, when such thing does oc- cur, it speaks better for the value of the mine than any amount of talk or adver- Using.
