From Secretary ]. A. Burleigh we
gather the following facts relative

The head office of the company
is, in this city, and was organized
lbout ten months ago, for the pur-
pose of taking over and developing
group of fourteen mining claims 10
lated twenty miles southeast of the
town of Joseph and ten miles north
vest of Homes. cad on Snake river.
The claims are only seven miles
rom the head of the Sheep creek
wagon road. The company Is incor-
porated for the general purpose of
ocating, leasing and purchasing min
ag property, the development, sale
or operation of the same, the con
struction of reduction and smelling
works and other general mining bus
mess. The corporation has a CAPT
al of two million shares of the par
Falue OF $1.00, fully paid and non
assessable, of which one million
shares are in the treasury for devel-
opment work and promoting the bus
mess of the company.
The company has been pushingl de,
delopment work vigorously on the
above described group of Gains dur
ing the past ten months and at pres
mt has over six hundred feet of tun

wo hundred tons of ore ready for
Milling or shipment. Over two hun
lred feet of the tunnel is in the

A small block of the stock has
been placed on the market at ten
cents per share, most of which has
been taken by home people and
with the prospects before the com
pany for the coming year it Ger
tainly affords fine field for invest
