SHORT & ELLIOTT AND
THE JENNIE MINE

The big mines of the country are
not made in a day, and very few are
of the pay from the grass roots" kind.
1t takes a good prospect, determination.
perseverance. hustling qualities, time
and money TO make d mine, and it is
not often that the prOspectOr or the
man who locates the prospect is the
man who stays with il and builds il
up until it takes rank with the big
ones and gladdens the hearts of the
stockholders with dividends.
But such is the case with the Jennie
mine of Gold Springs, and its devel-
opment has required all the qualities
mentioned above and the ten years Of
struggle on the part Of its owners
would make interesting reading. But
it is the Jennie mine of today that is
of interest, and the fact that it's sue
cess will bring ont a large country that
has been held back for numerous causes
and only waits the touch of capital TO
change it from idle prospects to pro-
ducing mines.
Just two years ago. c. A. Short and
II. R Elliott determined to bring out
the Jennie property, which had been
worked to a small extent for eight
years The company had been organ
| lied three years before and had al
most 100000 shares in its treasury. This
they started off to some friends in
Iowa at cents per share and secured
/ enough cash to start the work. The
/ development gave such good results
| that Mr. Elliott remained in the east
and sold the stock to keep d good force
! of men at work and to prepare for
| the building of a small mill. which was
justified by the showings underground.

/ has made the Jennie one of the big
/ gold mines of the west.
