UNNECESSARY EXAGGERATiON,

This office is in receiptof a circu-
lar from Hathaway & Co. Of New
York which contains many er-
rors which are entirely uncalled
for, and, which if allowed to 60 un-
challenged, would work an injury
to this section. Therefore we quote
a few extracts. Hathaway & Co.
recently bonded or purchased the
Angel group Of claims near Eul-
ture peak, and are now floating the
stock on the market. In speaking
of nearby mines they furnish so
much valuable information inter
mixed with so many glaring errors
that we feel called upon to correct
them. Following are the extracts;
"Oro Grande-Years ago consid-
cradle development work was done
upon this property, but before the
ore shoots were reached, funds gave
out. In the year 1901, Mr.. Lamb
of Iowa and his son-in-law pur-
chased the property and extended
the old workings distance Of
twenty feet only when they reach
ed a very rich body of very rich ore.
After spending $4,000 in develop
ment work upon this property, one
million dollars has been refused for
it. This property is located on
the same ledge with the Angel
group of mines and about twelve
miles distant. The ore taken out
so far will more than pay for the
development work. 1t is gold
property,
"Keystone Property - Located
IL miles northeast from the
Angel group, has been opened in
the last Is months by Pittsburg
capital. At the present time the
company is putting up big mill
for the purpose OF working their
own ore. They have opened the
mines thoroughly and are now
ready to begin working the ore from
the mines:
"Burson Property-Is about II
miles northeast from the Angel
group, heing a gold-copper proper
ty, and is being developed day
and night. This property is show
ing up handsomely and the COM
pany is now placing a 2O-stamp
mill on the premises. This prop
erty is not for sale.
"Garcia Mine-About 6 miles
due east from the Angel group, is
well developed and is being work
ed successfully by an eastern COM
pany,"
This is our first intimation that
the Angel group is on the same
ledge as the ORC Grande.
The keystone is two or three times
twelve miles from the Angel group
and is not putting up big mill or
ready to begin working the ore; in
fact they are not yet ia their ore
body, not having crosscut at all
from their big development shaft.
The Rurson property is not be-
ing worked day and night, is more
than twelve miles from the Angel
group and as yet has placed no
stamp mill Of any kind on the
premises.
The Garcia mine is not being
worked by anyone at present.
Too often a company will be
formed to float stock on a worthless
prospect and have to prevar:cate
and imaginate to sell stock, but in
this case such an excuse is lacking
From what work has been done on
the Angel group they give every
promise of developing into a mine.
4 company fathering such state
ments as those quoted not only in
iures itself but damages the entire
section, because the exaggeration
and errors must sooner or later be
found out, and in the minds of the
public will reflect no credit on the
country, We have the prospects
and the mines. Don't exaggerate
The trnth is good nnOnnh
