must say that I had most enjoya'
BILE trip all through and the boy S
treated me with much courtesy aud
I was much surprised as I found
things much beyond my expecta,
tions and hope that my trip will
benefit the company to great ex-
tent as I had the honor of being the
first stockholder to see the COM
pany's property and of course out
side of promoters you know that
my statement will 60 much further
than any one of the promoters as
they were all kicking against them
and saying that we were all get
ting buncoed out of our money
and that the money was all going
In to the promoters pockets there
fore you can tell them tor me that
such Is not the case and on the
other hand If they want some .rella'
bic iuformations to come to me and
I will tell them some things about
that country that will open their
eyes.
I think 1t Is time that they should
quit kicking about their own prop
e,ty or do as did-go and see for
themselves and then they will do
differently. We have In our mine
one of the most sober aHd practical
men In the country and of life ex'
perience In the western mining
country and he Is also able to assay
which he Is now doing about once
week. The company has twelve
claims and the assessment work IS
now done on seven or eight of
them and Our Lode Is low grade
and free milling ore proposition
which has an average assay of
81 43 per ton and the vein Is IS feet
thick, SO our assayer, W. F. Green,
told me and proved to me that we
had a good paying mine If the ore
never got any better and our vein
is almost undisputed by practical
miners to be fssure vein so that
there Is ore there Indefinitely. so be
says that the only question was that
If they put their stock on the mar
ket and sell 1t the way they should
and thereby furnishing them money
to keep working as they are now
night and day and furnish the nee
essary machinery as they 60 down.
that by next spring we would be
ready to put In mill and then we
will commence getting some divi-
dend. John, we have no idea how
long 1t takes or how hard 1t Is to
develop a niue and how much
money 1t would take until you do
like I did, 60 down in the mine and
help strike on the drill then you
will have some idea what you are
up against. The quartz Is looking
better all the time, and at their
present value 1t could not cost Us
more than 81 a ton to mine and
mills same, and there you are, you
would have $40 per ton left,
so if you had even 10 stamp
mill you could clear SO a day
even on such small scale, so
you can see that after a year or two
If you had 100 stamp mill what
you could do and remember that
the company has eleven other
claims which have been all staked
by practical men and most of them
are looking good. Imade review
of all the mines In operations aud
have been on many claim and In.
Guiding also your Sunrise claim
that you just bought and brought
back with me samples OF free gold
from 1t. could say much more to
you but l haven't got the time to
spare, so wa0t you to take advan-
tage of this letter and have a little
ad published In your Sistersville
paper and send the knockers to
me.
Now, John, am going to write
to Mr.. Beebee and you write to
him too and we must put our
shoulder to the wheel and sell this
stock. 1t ought to sell for about 20
or IS cents. The boys, or rather
Mr.. Green. told me that they only
had 5000 ahead and 1t would GER
tainly be shame to have to quit
working. l am fixed now so that I
will hear from there whenever l |
want to, so If you want any news,
will keep you posted. Your last
property looks to be fine thing.
Well, think this will hold you
