This is the property referred to
in the above letter and Mr.. Mont
gomery is president of this COM
pany also. When on the ground
he will give his personal advice
as to development. He is the
largest stockholder in the COM
pany. We have been made fiscal
agents for this company and
strongly advise purchase of treas
ury stock at I5c per share. We
have personally examined the
property and have in addition to
this had report by competent
mining engineer. Work is now
going on on the property. The
Chieftain is not yet a
mine, but it gives as great prom
ise of reaching that stage at an
early date as any other property
now on the market.
The conditions surrounding
this property, both as to manage
ment of company and indications
of heavy mineral deposits on the
ground, are such as to almost re-
move an investment in this stock
from the speculative class. Assays
from practically the surface Of
the veins have shown gold values
from three dollars up to eighty
dollars per ton and float found
on the property has assayed
$4,000 per ton.
Mr.. Montgomery's belief in
this property is evident, and we
are as fully confident of its value
as is he.
Original reports on the property
may be examined at our Offices ant
full information will be gladly fur
nished. We invite the most rigid in
vestigation of this stock and advise
it's purchase in as large blocks as you
may be able to take.

BIG INCREASE IN
FIRE PROTECTION
CITY WILL BUY S37,400 WORTH
OF APPARATUS
COMMISSIONERS SEE TESTS
Board Has Prepared Recommended
tlons, Which Will BE Acted
Upon by the City
Council

After two open meetings and one ex-
ecutive session, the board Of fire COM
missioners yesterday decided upon the
companies which may sell to the city
the largest order Of fire hose, with one
exception, ever made in the United
States.
The complete order calls for the pur-
chase of hose to the amount of S14,3OO
three Metropolitan third-class fire en-
gines from the American LaFrance
company of Buffalo, for total of 3d.
200, and six combination hose wagons
at total cost Of $4,000.
In other words, IL the council accepts
the recommendation of the board Los
Angeles will increase its fire protection
to the amount of $S7,4OO.
The orders for hose were divided
among three companies. The New Jer-
sey Car Spring and Rubber company OF
New Jersey, in the recommendation, is
to sell the city 10000 feet at 75 cents a
foot; the Bowers Rubber company of
San Francisco, through it's Los An
geles agents, Harper & Reynolds, 5000
feet at 75 cents foot, and the Cass &
Smurr Stove company Of Los angeles
received an equivalent order at the
same price.
The board, in making public its de-
cision, explained that the New Jersey
Car and Rubber company was one with
which Los Angeles had never had any
dealings and it was thought best to
divide up the order.
Pitted against the American La
France company for an order for fire
engines was the Mott company, whicn
failed to qualify.
During the afternoon, members OF
the board in company with Fire Chief
Lips witnessed a number of runs OF
the engines of the LaFrance company
which are now used by the Los Ange-
les department. The tests made ap-
peared to the board as satisfactory.

BuIIfrOq-Red Oak

This property lies about fifteen hun
dred feet from the Montgomery-Sho-
shone. The directorate is composed
of some of the most prominent railroad
and business men in the city of Los
Angeles. In addition to claims owned
by the company, tunnel site running
into the rich proved area Of the Bull
frog district has been located and
active work is being prosecuted on a
three thousand foot tunnel, which will
cut the great Shoshone vein, as well
as others showing good values. The
strike Of the Shoshone vein across this
property was determined by Charles
H. Sexton, United States deputy smin-
eral surveyor, from observations made
on both the underground workings and
on the surface of the Shoshone mine.
Rich ore has been uncovered on both
sides Of this property, and its close
proximity to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
mine, in conjunction with the fact that
the strike of this vein crosses the
property, combined with manage
ment whose names are identified with
the great railroad and business inter
ests In this city, makes an offering
which every business man in Los An
geles can we'll afford to give the
closest investigation.
We have other good stock offerings
and will gladly furnish information on
any of the Nevada mining stocks and
shall be pleased to purchase for our
customers any Of these stocks at the
market

This is the best known mine
in Southwestern Nevada and has
been developed in practically
eight months from a prospect to
one of the biggest producers in
the United States. 1t is reported
from Gold6eld that the famous
California mining engineer, John
Hays Hammond, is endeavoring
to purchase this property for
three million dollars ($3,ooo,ooo).
Stock is selling readily at two and
a half and three dollars per share ;
it is not likely, therefore, that this
sale will be consummated. AS a
speculation we would advise pur-
chasing this stock at anything
under two and half, and as a
high class investment it is safe
at three dollars or under, combin-
ing great speculative features at
the same time.
The following letter has Just
been received from Z. A. (Bob)
Montgomery, who developed this
property and is president of the
company:
Montgomery-Shoshone Mines Co.
Beatty, New.
San rancisco, June ~, 1905.
Mr.. c. w. Baker
Dear Sir: Regarding my opin-
ion of the Chieftain group of
claims, will say that said claims
were among the first / located,
and the surface showing was as
promising as any 1 had found,
and lack of time on my part to
develop same is the reason we
have only one Shoshone instead
of two; parties owning the adj
joining ground found ore on
Chieftain No. 2 assaying $1,000
in gold, and on their ground
found samples assaying from $50
to $50 and found float assaying
over 200 ounces. This has con-
vinced me that my first impress
sion was correct and the mine
will, l am sure, not disappoint us
in proving very good mine. |
am sorry that did not have time
myself to prospect the ground
before leaving the district. l ex-
pect to hear regularly from the
district while away, and any time
you wish for any information you
think l can give you call on me.
Yours respectfully,
(Signed)
