Rich Deposits Of Gold
Discovered in Randolph Co., Alabama.

A party of prospectors headed by Prof.
Samuel Aughey former metallurgist at the
Pinetucky mines and Col. Z. P. Snow, an
expert mining engineer of Wyoming, have
struck an exceedingly rich body of ore in Ran
doph county, Alabama, in what is described
by Prof. Smith, State geologist, as the gold
belt.
The party were attracted to the field by
very rich paintings that were made in the
vicinity of surface deposits, in which this sec
tlon abounds, and it was in tracing these de-
posits to their source that Colonel Snow open
ed up the lode.
The Goldberg Mining Company has been
incorporated to operate the claim, with Col
E. p. Snow as president, Prot. Samuel Aug
hey as vice-president, and Mr.. j. E. Fiscus as
secretary and treasurer.

sand Shares at Ten Gents per Share, full

order to realize additional capital to com,
mence operation at once. Contracts have
been closed for twenty-five ton plant which
Will be IN operation within the next forty
days. The field is attracting much attention,
capitalists are investigating its resources
and prospectors are tiOcking in.
Regarding the richness of the property, an
incline shaft has been sunk to the depth of
oNoI Aoo AtCb Win dLll results, showing
a constant Improvement in both grade and
size OF 9re body as it deepened.
The ore body already opened up is practi-
cally inexhaustible, and pans from $40 to
$40 and as high as 800 to the ten, showing an
average of over twenty-five dollars.
An idea can be formed of the value of the
property from the opinions of experts who
have visited the field, to the effect that with
the necessary machinery, the company is ca
pable OF paying dividend of 25 per cent per
annum on its total capital, which would rep
resent to investors at present 250 per cent
profit on their investment, and stock will at
least be worth three times its face value:
Three Dollars Per Share.
We leave it to the public to Judge of the
safety of the investment and the immense
amount that can be realized, in a short time,
on small investment.
We feel safe in saying that from the present
indications, the richness of the ore and the
increasing size of the ore body, development
will no doubt disclose wealth that will sur
pass even our most sanguine expectations,
and we have every reason to believe that as
soon as the first mill run is made, which will
be inside of sixty days, this stock cannot be
bought TOR less than its face value-One Dol
lar per Share.
