MR. "A. CONWAY.

Dear Sir: Replying to your request
for information as to the average
value of ore shipped from the Silver
Plume district, wish to state that
about rs per cent. Of the ore handled
through this office comes from Silver
Plume and at the present time is av-
eraains over $4,000 per ton.
This camp is known as one of the
richest camps for silver in the Coun-
try, and while this was true in the
past, the shipments of today show
that she has not lost any of her repu-
tation. As far as | can remember
there have not been any failures in
any company here in handling silver
properties.
l believe that in the near future
this camp will be the greatest Silver,
Lead and Zinc camp in the country.
Hoping that this information will
be OF the right service for you, l re-
main,
Yours very truly,

Gentlemen: 1t has been a mystery
to me. why Silver Plume, the richest
silver mining camp in the United
States, is so little known to the inves-
tors of the country and why even the
residents of this town has no chance
to invest in and receive some of the
profits of these tremendously rich
mining properties in the surrounding
mountains.
Almost unbelievable fortunes have
been taken from the Rocky Mountains
tains surrounding Silver Plume, but
practically all of the mines are owned
by rich companies who keep all the
profits for themselves
The Silver Plume Consolidated Min
ing Company is the first company en-
gagged in mining in this canon which
has ever given the small investor an
opportunity to share the tremendous
iy rich profits Of this district which
has never known mine failure.
am with you, as you can win only
success. Yours truly,

AMERICAN VESSEL ENCOUNTERS BAD
 STORM IN INDIES
cia:ef P-ss.l

SAN JUAN. PORTO RICO. Aug. 30 The most severe storm that the cap tain Of that vessel ever experienced struck an American vessel about 800 -uilse out Of New York on the last trip 70 the Wes- Indies. Although Ht. rle damage was done. everybody was pretty badly shaken up. Because the captain received no warning from the weather bureau. he thinks that the storm must have originated about where f struck hls vessel.
 The gale hit the steamer about : p m- Thursday and before that night I had reached 2 velocity Of about 130 miles an hour. The captain was par tially prepared for what was coming by the astounding fall in the barom- eEeT which went as low as 28.7 but, in spite Of every eforc made by the crew 70 make things tight, the sea got into soms>of the staterooms and every thing was drenched. Some Of the porthoIss il the bow were stove in and all the awnings were carried away. The wireless aerial was swept away early in the storm and the stays Of the masts were broken so that it was feared that these would be taken away 100
 The vessel was forced to head right into the teeth Of the gale and such was the force Of the wind that .the steamer covered only 5 miles in twenty-four hours during the gale. The storm abated about a. n. and he steamer entered San Juan harbor in safety
 Though there was no one injured. the passengers were so grateful to the captain that they prepared testi- monials expressing deep appreciation and gratitude for his able seamanship and management Of the ship during the dangerous tempest"
