portion Of the full paid and non-assessable
capital stock OF the Boston a. Texas Copper
Company is offered for sale at Five Dollars per
share tpar slO) for Treasury purposes.
The company controls twelve thousand acres
of rich copper land I'm North Texas which is also
valuable for farming and town-siie purposes.
The tract is some 10 miles long and about three
miles wide. 1t is equivalent In size To fiye hun
dTed ordinary mining claims.
The property has been developed sufficiently
to begin producing at once large amounts Of
out and IN arketed, and inexhaustibie quantities
of copper mari and clay running from TO Is per
cent. copper found. Calumet and Hecla and
other great dividend payers are working g. to
The property is within 70 miles Of a railroad
and fuel and water are available. The ores and
mari are the surface and few feet down,
and be mined and converted into copper
Copper will be produced on the ground and a
plant of moderate cost will treat 800 To 500 tons
OF ore and material per day, and according to
engineers estimates earn $4,000 10 $4,000 per
day net, with copper at 10 cts. per pound. Ii 10
now IL cts. per pound.
Tne property has historical reputation and
n record in the State Geological Reports. IL has
been examined and reported upon by the highest
engineering, geological and expert authorities,
and ITS merit and value are established beyond
all question. Tits not an experiment, it's value
speculative, they are proven and demonstrated.
From Report Of Prof. VIM. DeRyee,
former state Chemist OF Texas.
"such numerous outcrops of copper ore have
been traced over the summit and sides OF those
hills that out of 1000 acres OF land which the
company own, hardly a 160-acre tract should be
found without ore upon the surface.
A cross-cut to the depth of Is feet was made
upon the Isbell lead, and ten hours work re-
suited In the raising OF C,Oo0 lbs. OF rich copper
ore. averaging about 80 per cent. OF copper.
tits easily srnelted and the strata in which IL is
found can also be more economically excavated

east and six inches below the second lode. In
three feet more we struck another lode below
the second lode. Immediately below the lower

From Report Of Prof. Gustavc Westman,
Mining Engineer.
"I beg to express my entire satisfaction with,
and confidence In the report made by Prof. w.
only had to remove one foot of earth from
the surface on the three spots already mentioned
clay. After washing, this clay was found 10 con-
tain 10 per cent. of copper ore of same value as
above. These ores could OF course be taken
out and made available at a relatively small
expense"

Hon. EMERY NJ. Low, President, and others,
Boston, Mass: Gentlemen - There v
abundant evidence of rich copper deposits, L,.
only at the miues already opened, but at various
har fho ~ an1sf Ia .ts.tsp
that this will prove to be one of the exceptionally
rich copper bearing fields of the United States.
The ores found in these deposits are immensely
that are also found here i'm immense beds, while
not as rich, will undoubtedly prove Of great
value on account of the cheapn with which
they can be mined and reduced.
The mines are accessible at every point; the
cost OF mining will be very small, as The ore is
not in hard formation; and there is no deep
work.
Ihave examined the various reports made by
others, and confirm them.
] have done SO carefully, am of the opinion
IL is one Of the richest copper fields in the
country fi +. Burton IuisrciS EVERETT, NJ. e.

LOWELL, June 21st, 1890,
Dear Sr:-
have made rather hasty examination of the
sample of copper ore which you gave me and
submit the report.
This ore Is what is known as Chalcocite or con-
per glance and is copper sulphide 60 in ~
mainly with sone impurity such as iron, gangue,
etc.
1t contains ee.so % OF copper and is a very fine
ore. The percentage reported Is correct to
within one-half of one per cent.
Respectfully submitted,
