Principal Keastern Office, Continental Trust Building. Baltimore, Md. Dr, 7U shares in the Cuyamaca Ranch and Mining Company may be expect KeaSOnS VV nV ed t0 yield a ftreater profit than any other equallv substantial invest ment now offered. The Company owns thousands of acres ot mineral ground on the great Mother Lode of California, which has produced more gold in the past fifty-three years, since the discov ery of gold in California, than any other'gold bearing formation in the world has ever yielded. This great gold belt runs through the property of this Company for about twelve miles from North to South. It is doubtful if any other Company in the world owns gold bearing territory of equal extent and importance; that it is very rich seems to be proved by the fact that the only mine opened on this estate, the famous Stonewall, has yielded from the surface to a depth of six hund red (600) feet, probably over Two Millions of Dollars ($2,000,000), more than Nine Hundred Thousand ($900,000) Dollars of which was taken out during a peiiod of three years and four months. This record has been verified by the books of the Hank, in San Francisco to which the bullion was shipped, and by the United States Mint in San Francisco. We give below the detail of this very remarkable record, which, competent authorities state, might have been greatly ex ceeded by different management : , J San Francisco, Cai.., March 3, 1902 E.

WILSON (Signed) L. I. COWGILL, Mr. Wilson writes, under date 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 San 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$i88,958.oo; 520,406 output January, is o.irom a little ten stamp mill; February of that year $21,492.00; then in 1885 running but a littla time only, $75,000.00 more was taken out. I have invited here the Statistician 01 the united estates Mint, Mr. vaie, 10 iook up 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 niake a present to his wife. "He has that ore now and l presume it the parties who are promoting tne saie 01 mis propeny wisneu 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 1 knew tliese figures were exactly correct.

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 Dollars ($2880) per day in gold. As the operation of a stamp mill is practically continuous, barring accident, it is safe to figure on three hundred and fifty (550) working days in the year; this would show a product of One Million and Eight Thousand Dollars ($1,008,000), equal to 17 per cent, per annum on the entire capital stock of the Company, from a single mine, out of the dozens that may be discovered on the property of this Company, to say nothing of its other great resources.
