ust l.
Mr.. Sisty has been in the Stafford
district for about two weeks. Mr..
Ebert took him by auto all over the
district. The engineer examined
and tested everything, PANIED ores
and estimated prospects. After
completing the above transactions
this morning he left for New York
to report personally to his financial
associates. He seemed greatly elat-
ed over the bargains he had found.
Mr.. Ebert and his associates also
| seemed satisfied. I'VE know there
are millions down there" said Mr.
Ebert, but it requires large capital
to handle these mines and we aren't
| able just now to finance the work.
We did the next best thing, and,
knowing u property. we predict
astonishing results.
The Stafford district includes a
number of small, rich mines and
prospects in the vicinity of Barth. a
small camp or the Humboldt river.
about 6 miles west of Palisade.
The district takes its name from
James Stafford. who discovered the
Onondaga mine in 1881. There is a
great iron mine at Barth which
shipped 300 tons of ore daily to the
Utah plants of the American Smelt.
ing and Refining Company. where the
ore was used for 1ux.
"A mile and a quarter from the
railroad, at Barth. we have one ledge
40 feet wide averaging II unces OF
silver, 2 to 3percent copper and some
gold. That whole country is richly
m~ineralized. West of the Bullion
range, 20 miles from Palisade.
miles from the narrow-gauge. Mr..
Bodine is shipping large quantities
of rich copper and silver r from
the Ennor properties. The ore nets
$75 to 800 the ton. He also has taken
bond and lease on the Helen M group
for $40, 0OO."
Mr.. Eberts predicts great results,
beginning August l.
In 1884two four-horse teams hauled
ore steadily to Barth siding, shipping
to the Utah smelter. Silver dropped
and operations were paralyzed. Now.
with the prospect of 81 silver. all OF
these rich properties will be developed
adding millions in. wealth to this dis
trict.
Some time ago some prospectors
tried out one of the old silver mines.
They sank a winze down 60 feet. Al
the bottom they knew there was
high grade silver ore averaging zoe
ounces, but in that mine the water
was "a feet deep. From the water
level the prospectors took out two
carloads of ore, which averaged 10l
