The Officers and Hoard of Directors of this Compiny
present the above combination of twenty rich and viln
able Silver Ledge', comprising twenty-five th ai-an ! I
feet, which they confidently btdlove embraces a proper- .
tv for profitable silver mining umuirp-tssod by anv on
the Paeifte coast.
'i bis property wan select-d and h.c-itcl by priutlc; I |
and experienced miners, among the first, in North Onion I
and AliMiimotb. which me Justly regarded among the
best Silver minni" districts in the Stute, «>n account • J
the rlchuessof the ore*, the width of tbevel<¥, the tine
timber on the mountain, and the salt basins an I gra-.>
in the valley*.
Tbiii Com| any do not design to set forth statement*
that will not l»n verified, and proler i\nder-cstlmatlng
what they believe the result* Will prove. Fuel is an
iteinot great expense in many of the district* The
& Cutry, Opbir, Savage, and other celebrated mine, in
Washoe, are paying from fifteen to twent v dollars per
cord for wood. A twenty stamp mill will consume lif
teen cords of wood per day, at sls per cord, amounting
to $225 per day. In the M tmmoth an I North I 'iu< 11
districts it would be simply thecatting,st pernod, « i 1
per day. There ts a large saving on tills, Item. In the
c.naumptionof salt, which is iarg ly used In mining
operations, the saving would not be less than ?'>',) per
•lay over many other districts. In these two Items 1 here
is an advantage in cost of running a twenty stuuip mill
in these districts which would make a handsome yearly
proiit of itself.
It Irt not the intention of the Company to work all this
property at the present time, but to hold it in r<-serve
for future disposition, either to form a nait of it into
other organizations or to erect other mills, as may be
deemed expedient. A twenty stamp nil'l near a well
selected lode will pay a large dividend on the c ipit il
the th st wot king year, and leave a reserved fund in, the
treasury, to be applied to the erection of another mill.
This Company intend to ereot a flr*t-cl ws mill mc(r
the Winnebago lode, which is four and one>h-tlf f.-et
wide,and is considered one of the richest silver lodges
in Nevada, and will afford an ample supply of ore 112 r a
twenty-stamp mill.
Profossar Blatclily, wdio Is a scientific, reliable, and
very cautious gentleman, says of this lodl:
«' This is a strong well-defined vein, showing every
indication of depth and permanence. The i>r> it of
great richness, and well diffused throughout the vein,
Atnd all the ore will pay for working from the. very sur
face. This is a very valuable mine and can be made t/i
pav from the beginning A . Bi.atciii.y,
Mining Kngineer.
It is more than doubtful if Professor illatrhly
iu these terms of any other mine in Nevada.
A twenty nbunp mill can crush twenty tons pm day ;
but say that it crashes 16 tons per day. (choice speci
mens from tho Winnebago lode has assayed £1132 per
ton), it is a low estimate tfl sav that it will give an av
erage yield of stto per ton, Uken as it cohhm from the
vein. Fifteen tons per day would yleWsfi'J4o; the ex
penses of crushing in these districts «ill not exceed *-' lO
per ton,or $460 for 15 tons, leaving aiu t profit of SIBOO
for a working day, or a monthly profit of over $A:»,i)00
fur one mill.
This statement may s*em Urge, but it is proven by
the results of other mills in districts less favorably bl
eated. We confidently believe there is no other invest
ment will pay such Inrgu returns as silver property,
when well rocated. And the millspronerly managed.
The managing director i# an experienced and practical
silver ore worker in all its details ; he is iu the prime of
life, of excellent habits, and indomitable energy : he ha-t
been long and favorably known to our President, Gov.
Ramsey, and to Mr. Frank Steel, one of tiw Hoard of
birectuis, and with whose good opinion «»f .Mr Hamil
ton, the lion. A. W Rondall, First Assistant Postnn-tor
General, and Gov. Farwell, of Wisconsin, also Col. Bur
bank of Minnesota, fully concur He is one of the dis
coverers of this property and is argeiy interested in it,
and will certainly take great pbde in discharging his
duties promptly and economicalr , and iu such a man
ner as to make the Company a sty cess which bears his
name.
A trustworthy and competent clerk goes out with the
manager as financial agent. *
The plan of organization of this Company offuM po
culiar advantages to the subscribers. It them se
curity, Insures them a larjj® Interest upon their money,
and provides for its reimbursement in a shoit time, leav
ing them their interest in the stock free, of cost.
The Company reserves for the treasury f;iso,oio or
70,000 shares of stock, audwill sell 40,WW shares at par
value of $6.00, foil paid. These forty thousand shares
J are preferred stock to bear '25 per cent, dividends per
I annum out of the first earnings of the mines until th«»
I par value is refunded. It also shares iu dividends with
! the common stock all profits of the mines over and nhoye
twenty-five per cent., the Company rgfcjirving the right
to tedeein this prefer red stock at anv time by the pay
ment of the par value thereof, oml iuterest. The pre
ferred stock after it shall have been paid by dividends of
I twenty-fivo per cent, or otherwise, to take grade with
I the common stock, will share all proflUof the mines
i «.M|iialljr.
This equitable plan in an evMence of ths go.*! faith of
this Companv, and their confidence tri Ch« property. It
guarantees te thesnbscHber the whole property and iic
provoments tot" the payment of the preferred st<»tk, awl
Insures the payment of it speedily, leaving his inteiest
In the Company without ccsrt. No other utofk will be
sold, excepting'the drefrrred stock, until the Company's
mines pay dividends.
This Company have a liberal charter granted by frpo
cial act of the Legitlaiure of Pennsylvania. The title
to this property has been earefnlly exniijined and pro
nounced good. The product of silver mfn.w Is different
from Iron, cbal, copper, or lead, which are influenced
Ly the fluctuations of the market. The pror lous mo
ats are the of value, when onc«« protluciMl, they
have no market to seek, but make this their market.
