from here within a few days to
carry the work through winter.
The property was discovered
by the Irwin brothers three years
ago. They did some work
enough to know that it was good.
Later, they incorporated it, TAX
ing in some of their friends in
and around Higgins. The COM
cmpany now has three tunnels
on the property, in 40 feet, 90
feet and 130 feet respectively.
They will do most Of their work
this winter on the 30 foot tunnel.
The ledge is about 3 1-2 feet wide
carrying values that would drive
most prospectors wild. The as
says run from $50 or more on the
poorest ore, up into the thousands
Of dollars per ton. There is con-
siderable silver in the ore, some
Of the assays running very high
in the white metal.

At the bottom of the 35 foot
shaft this dyke has a width of 33
feet. At another point, however,
further east, surface indications
show it to be several hundred
feet wide.
AS to the natural facilities for
the economical development of
the property it would be difficult
to find more favorable conditions.
There are millions of feet of red
fir, the hardwood of Idaho, than
which there is no better mining
timber in the state; abundance
of water for all purposes except
power. The property can be de-
veloped by 600 foot tunnel to
a depth exceeding 200 feet, and
to those who dread faulted for
nation they can rest safe in the
assurance that there is nothing
in the contour Of the mountain
taken in conjunction with the
strike of the vein which would
indicate the slightest possibility
of even local disturbance of that
nature.
1t is the company's intention
to begin work on the tunnel i'm
mediately they have laid in their
winters provisions, which will
be the beginning Of November.
They will work three eight-hour
shifts. The winter quarters are
completed and are arranged with
an eye single to the comfort and
welfare of the men.
The company is organized along
sound conservative lines. The
capital stock is 100000 shares
with par value of 81, and is
financed by a group of Chicago
business men, at the head of
whom is Mr.. Jacob Schlosser of
South Chicago, one of the strong
est business men of the windy
city, and who is president of the
company. There will be no ma
chinery installed other than a
sawmill till sufficient ore reserves
are blocked out to Justify it.

The BOStOn-ldahO GOld Mines
Company, Ltd, is the latest as
pirant for that measure of wealth
which is expected to flow into
the lap Of those who delve for
precious mineral. The plans and
hopes of the company is best told
by the prospectus which follows.
1t is endorsed by John S. Dan
forth of Dixie, who has spent
three years in bringing the prop
erty to it's present stage of devel-
opment.
Prospectus.
The Boston-Idaho Gold Mines
Company, Ltd, has purchased
the following properties:
Placer claims: Florida, St.Lucie,
Rump, Suptuc No. 1 and Suptuc
No. 2 and Forks Placer claims.
Quartz claims: Golden Miter
and Big Float. All in Dixie Min
ing district, county of Idaho and
state of Idaho. Also two water
rights on Crooked creek, the ca
pacity Of one is 200 cubic feet
per second and the other will give
over 1900 horse power. The site
for the electric power plant is on
the Forks placer claim. The water
rights are practically exclusive,
because this is the only water
power that can be developed in
this district-hence the value of
same.
Development.
Since the last part of 1901, one
man and sometimes three men
have been working on these prop
critics; the ground of the placer
claims has been cleared and is
ready for operation next spring.
The bitches, one $40 rods long,
the other 440 rods long, were
completed on February 18, 1905
All that is necessary to do next
spring is to install the giant anC
the necessary piping, at a cost
of about $4,000, and the company
will begin to earn money as soor
as the water is turned on. Al
the necessary timber has beer
cut that may be required during
the summer, and there is enough
timber on the property for al
requirements. The quartz claim!
also have been partly developed
for a tunnel of about 800 feet lon2
has been finished on a vein 6 fee
thick, showing a very rich, free
milling ere. A large quantity O.
ore has been taken out ready fo,
the mill. 1t is the intention t;
keep up this work and block ou
all the ore possible before th'
mill is built.
Assays.
Assays made on the propert,
show values from $35 to 81, 10'
per ton. Thirty-fve dollars pc
ton being the lowest grade of or
yet discovered on this property
most of the assays made shov
values of from 5000 to 1000 pc
ton. Assays made from severa
samples submitted to Henry Car
michael of Boston, show gold val
ues of $281.11 per ton.
1t is estimated that on tn
placer claims now controlled b.
this company there are severa
million cubic yards of rich place

grass roots and continuing II

any trust company, Of a sufficient
amount of government bonds to
guarantee, on the money invested,
six percent per annum for ten
years. This deposit will remain
intact if the company pays six
percent or over, and will be with
drawn after ten years.
Loans.
Any stockholder of the Boston
Idaho Gold Mines Company, Ltd
whose stock is guaranteed, can
borrow money on the stock as
readily as on any railroad stock
or bonds, at five percent per an
mum, by the deposit of the shares
as collateral. The amounts will
range from 40 percent to 80 per-
cent on the money invested. We
will furnish to stockholders the
names of the bankers and trust
companies that will make the
loans at any time on application.
The Boston-Idaho Gold Mines Co.
Ltd, is no more a prospect. Z"
1t has taken three years of time
and considerable money to build
the foundation on a business ba-
sis. During this time not a share
of stock was offered for sale.
Therefore it is not a speculation;
it is now a certainty that the COM
pany will be placed on a paying
basis next summer. Therefore
we are justified in stating that so
favorable an opening for making
lots Of money, without running
the usual risk (Which is generally
the case with mining prospects) ,
is very seldom obtainable.
Why you should become q stock
holder: Your dividends COM
mence from the day you pay your
money. You can borrow on the
stocks at any time from banks or
bankers whose names will be fur
nished you. You can pay for the
stock in any way that is conve-
nient for you, either in one or
more payments. Proofs can be
had at the fiscal agents Office
that the work on the property is
going on every day.
Therefore if banks and bankers
consider it safe enough to loan
money on the stock, would you
consider it otherwise? Have you
ever been offered as good an op-
portunity? When mining stock
is good, it is very good, and one
can make more money in a gooC
mining proposition than in any
other business. Ninety-nine pei
cent of the money lost in mining
companies, is lost because the
companies did not have anything
to start with, but expected to fine
a rich ore if there was money
enough to do the prospecting.

A R0SEY PROSPECTUS.
A Boston Company to Operate Extensively In
Dixie---Bund Electric Power Plant.

II feet to bedrock. By operating
only one stream, there can be at
least 1000 cubic yards of gravel
washed per day, which ought to
net the company from this source
alone, a very large income be-
cause the men on the ground
while prospecting over the prop
erty, have averaged $3.50 each
per day, by panning the gravel
five pounds at a time. In this
manner the average man cannot
wash out more than half a ton
of gravel per day, and if we take
this as a basis for estimating the
value Of 1000 cubic yards of grav-
ell per day, the earnings OF the
company would be enormous. All
the tailings are disposed of by
water, which otherwise would be
Of considerable expense to the
company.
Earnings from Qurtz Property.
A 10-stamp mill will crush 80
tons of this grade of ore per day;
and if all the assays showing over
$1,000 per ton, and all assays 5000
to $400 per ton are disregarded,
and if the lowest assay yet found
is taken as a basis for the aver
age value per ton, namely $35,
and if we figure S5 per ton as cost
for milling the ore, which is more
than twice the cost, even then
the company would show net
earnings of 5000 net per day from
this branch.
Earnings of Electric Power Plant.
There will be available over
1900 horse power which the COM
pany can and will sell to other
companies and surrounding towns
The price per H. P. obtainable in
this section is $50 up, and as all
the power can be sold, this would
bring the company gross profits
of about $4,000.
The Dixie mining district has
been known for years as a very
rich field for both placer anc
quartz gold, and records show
that millions Of dollars of gold has
been shipped from this district.
The papers issued by the state
of Idaho on this property, shoW-
ing that all the requirements have
been fully complied with for the
past three years, can be seen al
the Office Of the fiscal agent.
The important feature about
this enterprise is that it is imma
terial whether the company sell:
one share of stock or not; the
work will go on on the property
as usual, and the company will
be on a paying basis next sum
mer, as soon as the water is turn
ed on.
There has been placed in tht
treasury of the company $3.50, ,OOC
at par, of the capital stock, fo.
developing and other purposes
such as building the mill, electri,
power plant, etc., and for tina
reason limited Humber of share
will be sold. The stock will b,
traded in on the curb.
