TO YOU

w. V. Rice and James Farrell have decided to give investors an opportu- nity to partake of the fu- ture prospects of the Gib- raltar Mines Syndicate; b00,000 shares of stock of the par value of s1.00 have been placed in the treas ury, and 100000 of these are offered to the public for subscription at 55 cents per share. The entire capi- talization of the company is 100000 shares of the par value of s1.00, and all shares are fully paid and non-assessable.
 This offer is made, not because the incorporators are in need of any money, but because it is the prac- tice of all mining compa- nies, in order to make a market value for their se- curities, and to provide funds for development work for a property that is already paid for in cash and turned over to the com pany absolutely free of in- debtedness, to sell a linn tied number of shares of treasury stock.
 The money that will be realized from the sale of this stock will be used for development work. It is not believed that 1t will be necessary to dispose of any more shares than those now offered to provide ann pie funds to operate the property and put the con-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-06-11

pany on a dividend paying basis. Should that be nee essary, however, 100000 shares remain, and the incorporators are willing at any time to take these shares and pay for them at the market value.
 It is, of course, impossi- ble at this time to prog nosticate the future value of the company's shares, but if the property on de- velopment, shows that it is the ore-producer- that the mining engineers say it is bound to become, 5000 per shares is not an exagger- ated idea of what the price should be within a year or two.
 Every lesson that has been taught practical and successful mining men will be used to the lasting ad- vantage of the Gibraltar Mines Syndicate, and ev- erything that backing by men of fortune can do for the credit of the company will be done.
 Reservation of shares can be telegraphed or mailed to w. H. Clark, secretary, Gibraltar Mines Syndicate, Exchange Building, Gold field, Nevada, and remit tances should follow by mail in full at the price of 55 cents per share.
 Prospectuses, press no- tices, maps, mining engin- eers' reports, photographs and other particulars will be mailed on application.

 J. H. Shockley's report on the property of the Gi- braltar Mines Syndicate is, in part, as follows:
 "On the Equitable group there are at least five dis tinct gold-bearing veins. Judging from what Is in sight it is safe to say that they vary from two to forty feet in width. Average samples taken from the exposure on the different veins show from fourteen to thirty-six dollars per ton. Of course selected ore can be had which runs much higher. These veins belong to the same Assure zone as those of the Tramp, Eclipse and Denver series on adjoining properties, and can be traced on the sur face for nearly three-quar- ters of a mile, and wher- ever opened will pan and show good values in gold.
 I have no hesitancy in saying that the property possessed far greater in- ducements as a mining in- vestment than ordinarily offered, and the chances are more than favorable that it will make mine. It is with full confidence the above statement is made; and it is with high satis- faction, after many months of travel through the min ing regions of the west and the expenditure of much money without recommend ing one solitary mining in- vestment, to be enabled at last to feel justified in writ ing a favorabl report.
 .In an experience of twenty years active mining throughout the west, no series of gold veins have come under the observation of the writer, which had better showings with like development and like area

One of the directors and original incorporators and owners of the Silver King mine, referred to above, is W. V. RICE of Salt Lake City. The Silver King has paid during a period of less than eight years, dividends in excess of ten million dol lars. It is now paying divi- dends at the rate of $1,300,- 900 per year. The Silver King is the greatest known silver-lead mine in the world.
 The Daly-West, also re- ferred to in the foregoing, Is a combination of prop critics that were merged i've years ago. One of these, known as the Quincy mine, at the time of the merger, had produced $2,- 100000 worth of ore in a period of fifteen months, and has paid dividends of 1,300,00. JAMES FAR RELL was the principal owner of the Quincy and he is now part owner of the Daly-West.
 The consulting engineer of w. V. RICE, JAMES FARRELL and associates, Is J. H. Shockley. MT. Shockley is a mining en- gineer of twenty years study, research and practi- cal experience in mining in all it's phases.
 For upwards of a year Mining Engineer Shockley had been engaged in the in- spection of prospects" in a dozen states and had turned them down as either unworthy or not immediate ly promising, when he came into Southern Nevada in January of this year. After four months of observa- tion and examination of the properties in the Tonopah, Goldfield and Bullfrog dis tricts, he enthusiastically advised the purchase of the Equitable group of claims, the Morris and Phillips group, and the Ugly Duck ling and Comet claims, az gregating 1855 acres, and sit uated on Bonanza Mountain in the center of the Bull frog district.

to $21,495.00. On July 1st. 1904. the
outstanding warrants against this
tund amounted to s11,5150O, while On
July 1st, 1905. the outstanding war
rants amounted to s11,925.0O. During
the fiscal year 1904-19O5 warrants
were cancelled and paid on this fund
amounting to s21,OS5.OO, which is
few dollars less than the amount of
warrants issued during the same
period. The cash on hand in this
fund on October LIST was $1157.46, and
the warrants outstanding amounted
to about $4,000. Taxes to come in
from the 1904 rolls to the credit Of
this fund will amount to about $4,000.
From the appearance Of this fund
would recommend that the levy be in
creased to at least $50 mills, which
would make levy Of $31,S65.OO on the
1905 rolls, while it may be able to
take care of itself at the same rate
as last year, 2.20 mills, which would
make s2S.O4LOO.
There is a credit of s595.96 in the
Soldiers Relief Fund at this time and
some taxes yet to come in On rolls of
1904 and prior years. The annual
penditures on this fund amount to
about $4,000 and would recommend
that no levy be made this year for
this fund.
would recommend that the regular
school levy be made the same as last
year, at so mills, which will make
s6373.00 for this fund. With the large
appointments we are getting from
the state and the practice of many
districts in making special levies.
it is hardly necessary to increase this
levy.
The State Auditor has certified the
amounts due on the different funds
from this county for the year 1906
and also the amount due on delinquent
rolls from the county for the 7th
preceding year, 1898, which is as
follows:
