Low Freight Rates.
"With our now railroad, tho camp Is
within thirty-si% hours ride OF Salt Lake
City, and the freight rates on our gold
orc are less To the Sail Lake smcltcrS
than from GoldDeld To salt Luke. There
ia lots of room there for everyone. while
tin" great surface showinGs make pros
rcctinS and mining very easy The orc
from the surface is free milling. much of

.outcnt The values and all other sur
ace Indications are far superior To those
II either Cripple Creek or Godneld.
Supplies are cheap, FOR we arc sur
rounded hy great ranches where every
fliing required is raised, there is n world
or timber on our hills. while tho water
Ssupply is enough for any number oi
p;ils. Tho district is especially free
from fsultuS, the country is I'm place
win nothing to indicate unusual dis
iurhanccs OF the earth. There arc Al
least onc dozen properties now being
developed and their results have showT
mineral section three by one and one
hslf miles In extent II is not one
mine or a ono zone camp. We know this

mineral extent of tho district.
There is no more Ideal gold cam

Ever since Cripple Creek | have beer
