The Officers and Hoard of Directors of thin Company present the above of twenty rich and valu able Silver Lodges, compiling twenty-live thousand feet, wliirh Hi- \ ' oiitidt 1,,1s le-lie\.- . rnl.r tres a proper ty for profitable silver nooning unsurpassed by any on the Pacific coast. This property was select-,d and located by practical experienced miners, among the first, in North Union and Mammoth, which are justly regarded among the best silver minim; district* in the State, on account of the richness of the ores, the width of thevei«n, the tine timber oj the uiountaiu, ami the salt hiudns atyl grass in the valleys. This Company do not design to set forth statements that will not be verified, and prefer under-estimating what they believe the results will prove. Fuel is an itemot great expense In many of tho districts. The A Curry, Ophir, Savage, and other celebrated mine* in Washoe, are paying from fifteen to twenty dollars per cord for wood.' A twenty stamp mill will consume fif teen cords of wood per day, at #ls per cord, amounting io $225 per day. In the Mammoth an I North Union districts it would be simply thecntting,s4percord,orsoo per day. There is a larg" saving on this item. In the c.nsumptionof salt, which is larg ly used in mining operations, the saving would not be leas than 860 per nay over many other districts. In these taA» there is an advantage in cost of runuing U tWehty wtainp mill in these districts which would make a handsome yearly profit of Itself It Is not the intention of the Company to work all this property at tho present time, but to hold it in reserve for future disposition, either to form a nai t of it into other organisations, or to erect other mills, as may l»e deemed expedient. A twenty stamp mill near a well selected lode will jwiy a largo dividend on the capibtl the mnt woiking year, and leave a reserved fund in the treasury, to be applied to the erection of another mill. This Company intend «o erect a first-class mill near the Winnebago lode, which is four and onedialf feet wide,and is considered one of richest silver ledge* in Nevada, and will afford an ample supply of ore for a twenty-stamp mill. Professar Blatchly, who is a scientific, reliable, and very cautious gentleman. *avs of this lode : " This is a strong well-defined vein, showing every indication of depth and j*rmanertcc. The ore is of grxil richness, and well diffused throw*himt the rein, and all the ore will pajr for working JYOM the very sur face. This is a t*rl valuable mine and can be made to pay from the beginning.'* A. BLATCHLY, Mining Kngineer. It is more than doubtful If Professor Blatchly speaku in these terms of any other mine in Nevada. A twenty stamp mill can crush twenty tons per d.-\y j but say that it crushes 15 tons pel l day*, (choice. niens from the \\ innebago lode has assayed $1132 per ton), it is a low estimate to say that it will give an av erage yield of $l5O per ton, taken as it comes from the vein. Fifteen tons per day would yield $52V>; the ex penses of crushing in these districts will not exceed s.'so per ton, or 8450f0r 15 tons, leaving a net profit of SIBOO for a working dav, or a monthly profit of over $40,000 for one mill. This statement may seem large, but it is proven by the resnlts of other mills in districts lees favorably lo cated. We confidently believe there is no other invest ment will pr»y such large returns as silver property, ..hen \vell located, and the mi|ls properly managed. ' The manning dirAttor is ah experienced and practical silver ore worker in all its details ; he is in the prime of life, of excellent habits, aud indomitable energy ; he ha* been long and favorably known to our President, Gov. Ramsey, and to Mr. Frank Steel, one of the Board of Directors, and with whose good opinion of Mr Hamil ton, the Hon. A. W Rondall, First Assistant l'ostma>ter General, an<! Gov. Farwell, of Wisconsin, also Col. liur bauk. of Minnesota, fully concur He is one of the dis coverers of this property and is argely interested in it, and will certainly take great plide in discharging his duties promptly and economical , and in such a man ner as to make the Company a slycess which l>ears his name A trustworthy nnd competent clerk gf>o« out with the jna wger as financial atcmt m ' "The plan of organization of this Company ofTem pe culiar advantage to the subscribers.

The pre ferred stock after it shall have been paid by'dividends of twenty-five per cent., or otherwise, to take grade with the common will share all profits of the mines equally. This equitable plan is an evidence of the good faith of thie Company, and their confidence tn the property.

And the Grand Inquest inquiring in and for the County of llutter. to June sessions. 1866, made the following presentment, to wit: The Grand Inquest of theCounty of Butlerooreepect fully present, That we examined the Jail of said County, in the Bor ough of Butler, and And it utterly unfit for the use for ' which it is intended. There are no meant for keeping separate the male and female Inmates. It is so arranged that it is impossible to remodel the Jail, so as to effect any permanent or important change. The Jail Is, be sides In our opinion, too small and unhealthy, belqf damp and We, in short, condemn U»e Jail as worse than useless, by l»eing positively uutifyi as a hah- Itation for any human being. Ills inhuman to put ami keep men, much more femalm, to.-UK U.* hole. Attor neys cannot see and consult with tueir Clients In the Jail, without great Inconvenience as well as discomfort. It is, in our judgment, an outrage on decency and hu manity, and a disgrace to 4 the County. We therefore earnestly sdvlse and recommend the demolition of the old Jail and the immediate ere&liqn of a new one. » e »further indent that the Jail and its surroundings are well, neatly, and comfortably kept at present by the Sheriff and his good wife, an Is possible. We further recommend the Commissioners of the Connty, to have the Court ll<-use insured as soon as possible, In a sum approaching as near as may be its original cost, in some , one 01 more responsible Insurance Companies. We farther take the present opportunity cf < onr opinion of the attentive and gentlemanly attention of our worthy District Atb>rney, W. H. II Middle, Esq. (Signed) ALF.X. GILLESPIE, Foreman.
