Referring to your inquiry regarding
the Silver Plume Consolidated Mining
Company and its management:
Mr. Roderick Stewart, the president
of the company, is a mining man OF
experience, ability and integrity who
has spent over 80 years in active busi-
ness in Colorado and enjoyed an un-
blemished reputation.
Mr.. Wilmot Gibbs, the superintend-
ent of the mining operations, Is a
young man of engaging personality, q
hustler. and of unQuestioned honesty
and ability.
Mr. G. D. Gibbs, a member of the
board of directors and general man.
ager, is q man of broad affairs, wide
business experience and good, SOUND
business standing.
Part Of the properties of the Silver
Plume Consolidated Mining Company,
from which they have taken some
very rich ore, Is situated on the Re-
publican Mountain, adjacent to the
famous Snowdrift mine from which
several millions in value were taken.
AS the mines on Republican Noun.
tain have all been large producers OF
rich ore, The silver Plume conso'i-
dated Mining Company, with proper
financing, should be big success.

June 16. 1917.

MIR. A. CONWAY,
Denver, Colo.
Having settled in Georgetown in
1869 and being a newspaper man all
of that time, have been in close
touch with mines and general condi-
tions of Clear Creek County, of which
Georgetown is the County Seat
The Georgetown Courier, which I
established in May, 1877, contains in
tbs records the history of all the rich
mines and ore strikes of this district.
1t has been my good fortune to see
a great many men come into this dis
trict as poor men and leave with for
tunes varying form several thousand
dollars to a few millions and this
wealth was all taken from the mines
of this very rich district.
One important fact that I believe
few people realize is the percentage Of
mines that pay and continue to pay
over long period of years. Some Of
the first mines opened In the sur
rounding mountains are still large
producers and ! do not remember Of
one, mine that has proven 4 failure.
Another condition, surprising to see
in 80 prosperous q County, is the de-
crease In the number of small opera
tors and investors to get the benefit OF
the wealth from the aforementioned
mines and the profits going to large
corporations who take advantage OF
this proven territory to collect the
sure profits from these mines.
| Sure and large profits await the
newcomers and Investors In Clear
Creek County mines where eftetene
management and honesty prevail.
The history of the Public Domain
gives GEORGETOWN as being the Oldest
entered town in Colorado, the entry
being made June II. 1858.

Denver, Colo.
June 25. 1917.
MR. A. ]. CONWAY,
1 have been acquainted with the
mines upon Republican Mountain,
above Silver Plume, Clear Creek
County, Colorado, since January, 1917,
having operated mines there from that
time to the present, living at the foot
Of II many years, as well as at George
town. / thus have q personal and In
innate knowledge Of the output, as
Y ell a. the discovery of many OF the
mines. :,
The ores which have been extracted
from this mountain have been OF an
unusually high grade in silver. Many
tons exceeding one thousand ounces
)silver per ton have passed through my
hands. It is true that rich ores nave
also been taken from the adjacent
mountains, but there are none whfcn
have a record OF as high general
average from a like area.
In addition to mining l did a great
deal of assaying in the early seven
ties. as we'll as purchased ores Tor
shipment to Europe, therefore this
statement is made not from hearsay
but from practical experience.
In 1879 the cost of shipment OF ores
to england, including the treatment
charge there, was about ninety dollars
per ton, 30 that ores Of less silver CON
tent than one hundred ounces per ton
could not be shipped; amalgamatine
and chlorination mills at Georgetown
at that time treated some of the less
rich ores, but think 1t Is safe to say
nothing less than fifty ounce ore wal
saved, everything else being throw'
into the dumps.
/ make these statements with the
endeavor to state correctly as far al
human imperfections Of memory abou
observations and experience OF De
tween forty and fifty years ago permit
and the natural proneness to exagger
alton which time SO frequently devel
ops, in regard to happenings OF tn
past and believe that what have SAT-
is fair and not overestimated.
Yours very truly.

Mr. A. CONWAY,
Denver, Colo.
Replying to your request for infor-
nation regarding Silver Plume Dis
trict as a producer of Silver Ore,
would say, this camp Is known as one
of the richest Silver producers in this
country, and is particularly famous
for the richness of its ore and extent
of its ore deposits, which seem almost
inexhaustible, as some Of the earliest
producing mines of this district are
still among the largest shippers Of
high grade ore.
The shipments from the before
mentioned district is onw averaging
over $50. 90 per ton, which is probably
Lead ore of any mining camp in the
country, which is also one of the
largest producers.
Another favorable condition of this
district is the absolute lack of failure,
every mine so far as my knowledge
extends, having an exceptional sue.
cess, a large number who started In a
small way have produced millions al
ready. The richest and largest pro
ducers being located on the Republi.
can, Sherman and Democratic noun
tains.
Present developments indicate that
Silver Plume will soon be the greatest
lead, xins and silver camp In the eoun
try.
I believe the Silver Plume Consoli
dated Mining Company's properties
are ideally located and great possibili
ties are ahead of them.

Replying to your request for the
reason l invested in stock of your COM
pany, wish to say that after a very
thorough investigation Of your COM
pany during which time spent nearly
q week going over your properties at
Silver Plume I found that all the
statements you made were not only
true but conservative.
l was greatly impressed with the
efficient management and splendid To-
cation of your Lone Wolf claim on
Republican Mountain, which I am re-
liably informed is one of the richest
mountains in silver, lead and zinc de-
posits in America. The very high
grade ore that comes from this district
and the very important fact that there
have been no mine failures OF proper
ties opened In the Silver Plume Dis
triet, all had a bearing on my decision
to invest all the money possibly
could in your company and advising
my friends to do the same.

THE SILVER PLUME CONSOLI-
DATED MINING CO.,
Denver. Colo.
was born and raised in Silver
Plume and having worked in the
mines of this district for over IA
years, I am thoroughly familiar with
the history and workings of all the
mines of the Silver Plume district.
The famous bonanza silver mines OF
this district that have produced so
many fortunes for investors and own
ers have all been worked for great
many years through tunnels that cut
the mountains for a great many miles
in every direction and yet there is no
indication that any Of these mines
have been worked out and some OF the
oldest mines are producing more ore
now than when first discovered.
The above statement seems more
remarkable when the fact that no
mine Of this district has ever proven
a failure 10 given consideration.
The group Of ten claims of the Sill
yer Plume Consolidated Mining Com.
pany on Brown Mountain give more
evidence in the outcroppings and the
quality and character of the ore taken
from your upper tunnel, now about
100 feet In length, of being bonanza
strike of unusual size and value, than
in every rich mine In this district.
The fact that ore worth over $1,000
per ton has been taken from your Bus
ter tunnel, still so near the surface, Is
evidence to any experienced miner
that practically unlimited wealth
awaits only the proper machinery and
| equipment to extract 1t from the
| ground.
M willing to stake my all on the
success Of your properties and believe
that your Lone Wolf mine Is also big
winner.

Give Your County Credit For
Enlistment And Have Your
Name Placed on the Honor
Roll.
The United States Army, on
the 18th of June was still short
10000 soldiers. The War Depart
ment is DESTROYS of filing the
regular army with the above
number by June 3Oth, 1917, by
volunteer enlistments.
Each county in the State has
been allotted the duty of fur
nishing two men per thousand
population, and up to June 18th,
the total of volunteer enlist
ments procured in this county
since April LIST, has been Nine
teen men with a shortage of
forty men to complete their full
quota.
1t is important that the full
quota for the rgular army be
obtained by June Both, 1917, so
that the 81 new regiments, or
ganized since the declaration of
war, will be at full strength. 1t
cannot be impressed too strong
ly upon the minds of the public
in this county for the urgent
need of obtaining the full quota
allotted to them, at the earliest
practicable date. Unless this is
done. valuable time in training
will be lost.
Come to the colors men and
give your county credit for your
enlistment and have your name
placed on the honor roll.
The officials of the Army are
inclined to believe that the men
who have registered are under
the impression that they cannot
enlist voluntarily.
Registration is no bar to vol
untary enlistment.
Apply at once to the nearest
Recruiting Station, or to your
local postmaster.
