CHICAGO COPPER MINING co.

Company owns the beau
tiful town site of OScuru.
which is situated in Lincoln
county, n. NJ, on the Rosk
Island and North Eastern
II. X. We have one of the most
desirable locations for the maxi
ing of Il prosperous town TO be
found anywhere in the west. 1t
already has a nice depot, section
house, boarding house, company's
store building, and pumpin &
plant with engine room and 30
horse power boiler. a large
derrick is erected and the rail-
road company is boring for artes-
ian water. 1t has ia miles of
side track leveled and beautifully
finished.
Water can be had at a depth of
from IS to 100 feet. The COM
pany have reserved space for
parks, churches, schools and fac
tories. They also reserve every
alternate lot in seven blocks for
which prices will range from
S500.00 to 81, 100000 each. All
other lots will be sold for $500
each, or three lots $4,000. A
drawing will take place for
location and for valuable lots will
be included in the drawing, so
that each purchaser will have
chance to get valuable lot for
S3315.
There are only about One
Hundred Acres in lots to be sold,
so that the farthest lot from the
business center will not exceed
31a blocks. Any lot in our town
should be worth 500 90 or more
in year or less. A clause i'll the
deed will prohibit the building
of frame houses on certain lots
situated near the business center.
We have telephone poles for 30
miles of line and will exte nd it
to Estey City and our mines. All
moneys received from sale of lots
will be used in developing and
improving the town and our
mines adjacent. so parties interes-
ted in either will be benefited.
We have no Salaried officers
nor stock selling schemes. We
don't go in debt nor solicit citi-
zenS of the town or homesteaders
to purchase stock in our mines.
We leave this part optional
on their part. There are a
number of mines in operation
around Oscuro, and we are ex-
pecting a boom this winter,
which will call for cement and
brick machines, and men to run
them, teamSters, drillers and all
kinds of laborers.
A large body of government
land lies adjacent to OScuro,
and is only waiting for settle
ment. 1t can be secured either
by homesteading or under the
desert act. To homestead you
pay $1,000 for loo acres. BY
improving the same after four
teen months you paw Sl.25 per
acre and get a deed. Or at the
end of five years by making
proof you get deed without adj
ditional expense. Under the
Desert Act you pay SIS per
acre and the first year expend
81. 90 per acre in improvements.
At the expiration of four years
you pay Sl.00 per acre and
get a deed. Under the Desert
Act 800 acres are allowed.
This valley is about II miles
wide, the soil of a dark brown
color and very rich. 1t never
requires fertiliziug. The altitude
here is about 5000 feet and the
valley surrounded by magnifi-
cent mountains rich in minerals
gold, silver, lead, and copper,
copper predominating. A more
healthful climate cannot be
found anywhere in the world.
Estey City is located fifteen
miles west of Oscuro, where the
Dividend Mining and Smelling
Company have a two hundred
ton smelter now in operation.
The Chicago Copper Mining
Company has "a claims making
4S0 acres and located within
two or five miles of this smelter.
They have now on their dumps
1000 tons of copper ore, which
they have recently decided
to place on the market.
1t is not likely that you will
ever have an opportunity for in
vestment, or to secure a home,
as is presented you here. We

of our town andcountry. Cheap ex-
cursions the first and third Tues
