That w examined the Jail of said County, In the Bor

tjiifl it is impossible to remodel the Jail, so as to effect
any permanent or important change. The Jail is, be

worse than useless, by Indng positively unlit ted as a hab

nevs cannot sen and consult with their Clients In the
Jail, w thout great inconvenience as well as discomfort
It Is, Tn our judgment, an outrage on decency and hu
manity, and a disgrace to the County. We therefore
earnestly ndyise and recommend the demolition of the
old Jail aqd the immediate erection of a n6w one We

The Officers and lioard of Directors of this Company
present the above combination of twenty rich and vain
able Silver Ledges, comprising twenty-five thousand
feet, which they confidently believe embraces a proper
ty for protltablo silver milling unsurpassed by any on
tbq ParitiC coast.
This pronorty' wps selected and locuted by pratrfica)
and experienced miners, among the first, in North Union
ami Miuanpith, which arq justly' regarded among the
best silver mini nt? districts in the State, on account of ;
the rictinessof the ores, tho width of thevei«*s, the fine
timber on the mountain, und tlie salt basins and grass
iu the valleys.
This Coiupapy do nu| design to set forth statement* I
that will not be verified, and preter uuder-estimatlng
what they holieve the results will prove Fuel is an
iteinot great expense in many of the districts The
A Curry, Ophir, Savage, an I other celebrated mines in
Washoe, are paying irom fifteen to twenty dollars per
cord for wood. A twenty ttamp mill will consume fif
teen cords of wood per day, at fls per cord, amounting
to $225 per day. In tho Mammoth and North Union
districts it would be simply thecuttine.fi percoid.orftio
per day. There tn a large saving on thM itfcin In the
c nfumptionof unit, which is larg ly used In mining
operations, the saving would not be less than SOO per
iiay over many other districts. In these two items there
is an advantage iu cost of running a twenty itamp mill
in these districts would make a handsome yearly
profit of itself.
It la not the intention of the Company to work all this
property ut the present tiui#, but to bold it in reserve
lor |utuie disposition, either to fprpi a pait of it into
otlier organizations, or to erect other mills, as may be
expeditrtt A twenty stamp mill near a well
selected lode will pay a largo dividend on the capital
thcfiist wot king year, and leave a reserved fund In tho
treasury, to be applied to the erection of another mill.
This Company intend to erect a first-clasH mill near
the Winnebago lode, which is four and one-hall feet
wide, aqd Is considered one of the richest silver ledges
in Nevada, and %ill atrord au ample supply of ore for a
twenty-stamp mill.
I'rbfessar lllatchly, who is a scientific, reliable, and
very gentleman, says of this lode :
14 This is a strong vein, Mowing every
indication depth pnd pehnanenre. The ore is of
great richntst, and well diffused throughout the. vein,
und oil the' ore will pay for working from the vtty sur
face. This it a very valuable nine and can be made to
pay from tht ben inning" A . ULATCHLY.
Miniug Engineer.
It is mors than doubtful if Professor lllatchly speaks
in these terms of any other mine in Nevada.
A twenty stamp mill < au crush twenty tons per day ;
but say that it crushes 15 tOt)s per day, (choice speci
mens from the Winnebago lode'has assayed $1132 per
ton), it is a low estimate to say that it will give an av
••I ago yield of $l5O per ton, Ufcen a« It comes from the
I vein. Fifteen tons per 'day would yield ss*2io; the rx
penses of crushing in these districts will not exceeds3o
per ton,or s4sofor 16 tons, leaving a net profit of slrfoo
for a working day, or a monthly of over $40,000
for one mill.
This statement may seem large, but it is proven by
the results of other mills in districts less favorably lo
cated. We confidently believe there.is no other Invest
ment will nay such large returns as silver property,
when well located, and the mills properly managed.
The managing director is an experienced and practical
silver ore woiker in all its details ; be is iu the prime of
life, of excellent habits, and indomitable energy ; he ha<
been long and favorably known to our President, {/bv.
Ramsey, and to Mr. Frank Steel, one of the Board of
Dire- tors, and with whose good opinion of Air Hamil

and will certainly take great pride in discharging his
duties prempfly and economically, and in such a man

The plan of organization of this Company ofTers pe
culiar advantages to the subscribers. It jives them se
curity, insures them a interest upon their money,
and provides for ita reimbursement In a short time, leav
ing them their interest in the stock free of i»sf.
Tne Compauy reserves for the treasury 1350,0 X). or
70,000 shares of stock, and will sell 40,000 share* at par
valne of $6.00, full paid. Theee forty thousand shares
are preferred stock to bear 26 per cent, dividend* ner
annum out of the first earnings of the mioee until the
par value is refunded. It alao shares in dividends with
the common stock all profits of the mines over and above
twenty-five per cent., the Compuny reserving the right
to redeem this prefeired stock at any time by the pay-
Blent of the par value thereof, ond interest. The pre
ferred Stock
twenty fjvo per cen£-,'dr otherwise, to take grade with
the common stock, will share profits of the mines
equally.
This equitable plan is aa evidence of the good faith of
this Company, and their confidence in this property. It
guarantees to the subscriber the whole property and
improvements for Uie payment of the preferi ed Stock,
and insures the payment of it speedily, leaving his
tereet in 'the Company without coat. Mo other stock
will be sold, excepting (he preferred stock, until the
Company's mines pay dividends.
This Company have a liberal charter granted by spe
cial act of the Legislature of Pennsylvania. The title
to this property has been carefully examined and pro
nounced good. The product of silver mines is differ#nt
from iron, coal, copp#r, or lead, which ere influenced by
the fluctuations of the morket. The precious metals
are the standard of valt^e; when once produced, they
Jiave no market to seek, bat make their own market.
