(Now San Francisco National Bank.)
Mr. Wilson writes, under date of March 3rd, as follows: "Have spent several days with the people of
the United States Mint here proving our figures, to which you wished me to affix my name.
"These figures are not only absolutely correct as verified by the United States Mint returns at Sau Fran
cisco, but we can increase these figures previous to January, 1888, if you desire us to do so. In my research
es at the Mint, between 1880 and 1885, I have already found$t88,958.oo; $20,466 output January, i88o,from
a little ten stamp mill; February of that year $21,432.00; then in 1885 running but a little time only, $75,000.00
more was taken out. I have invited here the Statistician of the United States Mint, Mr. Yale, to lookup
further history. It seems that this Mr. Yale, as a young man, worked as an assayer at the miue away back
in early days. From the croppings at that time he took away about one hundred pounds of very rich ore
showing free gold largely (so he says), which he brought here to melt up and make a present to his wife.
"He has that ore now and I presume if the parties who are promoting the sale of this property wished
it, it could be obtained at its value. It seems to me it would be a great thing to have it, because what I am
saying to you is entirely reliable and authentic.
"You may think I have delayed, but you do not know the amount of effort I have put into this since
the receipt of the draft which you wished me to sign, and herewith enclosed. I could not, nor would I, affix
my signature until I knew these figures were exactly correct."
This mine has not been worked-since the death of the late owner, as the insolvency of his
estate caused prolonged litigation, from which the estate has been extricated and an absolutely
perfect title vested in this Compay, who will now proceed to work this mine, which is perfectly
equipped with a 20-stamp mill in perfect working order, and all the necessary machinery for
pumping, hoisting, etc , and will also begin immediately, and prosecute as rapidly as possible the
exploration of all the gold mining portion of the estate, and to develop its other industries.
The value of the Company's ground, for gold mining, is also proven by the large number of
mines, opened in the same formation, in the well-known mining districts of Banner ajid Julian to
the North, and by the development of equally productive mines to the South of the Company's
boundaries.
Accurate accounts of the details of the operations of the Stonewall mine and mill are not
obtainable, but the record in' the Bank shows that Six Hundred and Fifty seven Thousand, Sixty
Dollars and Thirty six Cents ($657,060.36) of value in bullion was produced from January, i888.to
July, 1890, during which time only an old 10-stamp mill was in use. The full capacity of such a
mill would be thirty (30) tons for each twenty-four (24) hours, and if worked continuously, during
the time named, the amount of ore handled should haye been about twenty-seven thousand (27,000)
tons, thus showing an average value per ton for the ore of about Twenty-four Dollars (24). This
is extraordinary, and perhaps unequalled, on a strictly free milling proposition. Nothing what
ever was done with the tailings, under the old management.
Col. S. II. Lucas, our General Manager, states strongly his belief that he can so open up the
Stonewall mine as to block out, during the next eighteen months, sufficient reserves of ore to
enable him to work continuously a 40-stamp mill which would have a capacity of one hundred
and twenty (120) tons per day, which, at the same average, as is shown in the past, would mean
the production of Twenty-eight Hundred and Eighty Dollais ($2880) per day in gold. As the
operation of a stamp mill is practically continuous, barring accident, it is pafe to figure on three
hundred and fifty (350) working davs in the vear: this WOllld show n nrrirl nr rf Ono rind
