Theodore Cuylcr. Esq.,

Americans aro proverbial fo. tho avidity
and commendable zeal with which they
participate in enterprises having for their
object tho development of our national re
sources. At one timo " Railroads " at
another " t;oat then "Copper" or
"Iron,-' and more recently "Oil" have
boon tho all absorbing topics.
In all these Beveral enterprises, as will
bo recollected, those who fir.it took hold of
them made money : some larger amounts
Hum others, according to their investments.
Mining operations in the holds of Colora
do nnd elsewhere noic mainly engross the
public attention. Considering that several
such companies have been already organ
izedthat they are now at work that the
reports from their mines arc highly favor-
eble that it is known that at the present
time there arc on the way from tho ledges
of Nevada and Colorado numerous "bars
of silver" and "bricks of gold," it is
believed that the enthusiasm already niani.
festeu on the subject will, in a utile timo.
bo so greatly increased on the receipt and
exhibit of these " returns," that, innumer
able companies will spring up, w hose stock.
being nased at tlic then greatly inflated
prices of ledges, will necessarily be less de
sirable than that uow to no had thereby
giving to those who avail themselves of the
occasion now presented, of securing "ori
ginal interests, an opportunity of then.
disposing of the large amount of slock each
holder receives, nt a handsome advance.
With theso preliminary remarks the fol
lowing Pitosi-ECTis is respectfully prcseu
ted.

The Hun. II. P. Uenuett, delegate in

the House of Representatives said Ju-lg

and by the year lSlid, the gold fields of Col
orado Territory will produce S?-VI,0(J0,0lHT
annually and even then its full resources
of mineral wealth in gold alone remain nut
wholly developed. 1 speak from the united
icsti:nony ol many practical miners wlnr
have spent many years in tire mines ol
California, when 1 say : that the gold
bearing region of Culorinlo is fsr mure ex
tensive, quite r.s Inexhaustible, and Ihe
giild-bcnring quartz of it much richer quali
ty than in California."
Professor J-Mwaid N. Kent, of the New
York Assay Otliee, says:
"As to the extent of Ihe gold mines of
Colorado. I am not prepared to give an est i
mate, as I found enough to fully employ my
time within a radius of five miles of Central
City, Il e location of ihe above Ledges,
but as to the richness of tiikm, I have no
Ir.'sUntlon iu saying, that 1 belierr tlinn tc bt

capital and t lie Pacific Railroad, Colorado in
destined iu my opinion, torival or supercede
California and Australia, and become tliu
El Dorado of the World."
The opinion entertained by those nbro id
of claims in this district, is shown by llu
following extract
English capitalists have purchased C'iOir,
COO tf the Colorado mining lands, and their
agents and employees are now r ran' lo
develop Ihe same. The claims are prin -i.
pally in Russell and Trail districts, and n.
recent purchase has been the Seaton L-i-le of
1000 feet, for which ihey paid CIOH.IMIO.
An id .'a of the valuo of some claims (l'-'
feet each' may be formed when tlio fact m
considered that it often occurs that they
yield millions of dollars, and have in several
instances been sold for 2fi,IH0 per foot.
Mr. Fields, from oJi1 feet, of the P.ol.iail
Lodo has taken out, already over !?2ni.(; n)
in gold, and $2fili,t)OiJ has been oU'ered and
refused for 3:1 J feet of (his same lode, equal
to iWlti.UlK) for a claim of one hundred I'-vt.
As the purchase of either of the above
lodes would require more money than Iho
majority of persons have at command, it
has been determined to consolidate them,
and to divide them iuto Twelve Hundred air)
