THE BUTTE -BOYS CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY is a Portland enterprise, owned, principally, by Oregomans, who have Dougnt most ot the stock it nas disposed ox, ana is en-
Its bfoDcrty is located in the Goldfield, Nevada, mining aistncc, in me lamous xca mountain rcgiuu, m UI6 uvv v
of Goldfield. "A splendid wagon

city
home of its discoverers, and who first prosecuted its development.
THL GUIDING SPIRITS
The Company's officers are:
Preiident M. J. McCorkle, M. D.
Vice-President and Manager Geo. W. Bever.
Secretary and Treisurer M. Bever.
Directors The officers of the Company and George
Weatherly, Wealherly Creamery an3 Crystal Ice Co.; l. B.
Purcell. contracfor; T. W. Shankland, . with Portland Rail
way, Light and Power Co., and Burt White, mining , oper
ator, Goldfield, Nevada.'
Except Mr.. White, these gentlemen are all resident s of
Portland. Mf. White is one of the best known of Goldfield s
alert mining men, and is likewise the principal fuel dealer of
the city. He bought his shares in this company after inspec
tion of the property, and is the most enthusiastic stockholder
in the lot His confidence in the Butte Boyl is unbounded.
He says that its prospects are every whit the equal of the
Mohawk, now paying monthly dividends of 50 cents per share
In other words, $500 invested in Mohawk one year ago. would
now return to the owner $1,000 per month-412,000 per year
and this reminds us of the investment of Robert F. bcott, a
tlerk in the First National Bank of Portland, for years em
ployed at $25 per week. One day a salesman for Mohawk
stock sold him $150 worth of that mine ssharei, Last spring
two years later, he "cashed in" at $105,000.00, invested $80,000
in income Portland business property, and may live in luxury
all the days of his life because he wiselyplaced that six weeks
wage. With a letter of credit for $25,000 Mr. Scott departed
from the city last April for a tour around the world, and has
not yet returned. Again, stock in the Florence mine Id:
field, as late as last December, could have been had at $1.90
-er share.' it now sens in me open mici i r-., w.v -
arm c. in hu nrnnrrtv 60 davs aeo would return to
JirTl. "J::- " h,' clear' nrofit of $2,600.00. In
fact mining stock profits in Goldfield have been so marvelous
that it is difficult to believe the truth concerning them. For
example, $5 worth of Mohawk stock, procured when its shares
first were placed on sale, could since have been disposed ot
at $3,400.00; $10 invested then would since hvfc .Z
$6800.00: $20 then. $13,600 since; $40 then, $27,200 since; $80

then, $m000 since; $1,000 then. $680,000 since, and $2,000 then,
the enormous sum of $1,360,000.00 since I
nrnfiti of Goldfield min
ing. The Comstock lode of that same stste has paid nearly
$700,000,000 in dividends. It has erected mansions for its stock
holders in every large city in America, and but for its profits
there never would have been a Postal Telegraph or a Mackey-J upon the management.

mason planted $50 in that same "hole in the ground" and
he has drawn down over $10,0001 Goldfield mining stocks m
!reased in value last year more than $60,000,000! The state
of Nevada has enriched the treasuries of the world over
$1,192,000,000! And the Butte Boys is right in the thick of
this most astounding "mess!"
WE OWN 105 ACRES OF UNINCUMBERED GROUND.
This constitutes fiive claims and a fraction. To procure
the land the promoters invested their own hard cash, and to
make a mine of it have sold shares of its stock to the public
at large. Most of these have been taken by Portland friends
of the directorate, who have personal acquaintance with the
gentlemen and the utmost confidence in their proposition, lney
know that not one of its directors have ever engaged in ques
tionable practices, or would be guilty of abusing the confidence
of their friends. Dr. McCorkle, president, is one of the fore
most physicians of the city, and Mr. Bever, vice-president and
manager, engaged in the real estate business tor years, enjovs
the esteem and confidence of his clientele throughout both the
city and the state. This gentleman has put in most of the
summer personally directing the mine's development, and be
cause of his favorable report when he returned from Goldfield,
the first of January, it was decided that it was not necessary
to increase the capital stock, as was proposed, he believing that
the balance of treasury stock on hand, when disposed of, would
return sufficient funds to carry out complete development of
the mine to the dividend-paying period.
ONLY WATER LACKINO.
The shaft of the mine is now down to a depth of about
300 feet, with a cross-cut of 140 feet. In the sinking of the
shaft and running of the cross-cut, ore bodies of splendid
values were penetrated and disclosed, so that the question of
quality and richness of the rock has been determined. A Little
Giant quartz mill has been procured, and is in Goldfield ready
for immediate operation the moment a flow of water is secured.
Other mines of the district have had to sink 400 to 450 feet
before a flow of water was reached, and it is expected that
the Butte Boys will have the same experience, but when it
IS found, everything is in readiness for milling the ore and the
beginning of shipments of concentrates. This can not be de
layed for any great length of time, as our miners are constantly ,
at work. Indeed, we feel that the early spring will realize our
desires, and thst our stockholders who have so patiently
awaited with us the time when their anticipations of dividends
would bear fruit, will be amply rewarded for their enterprise
in procuring stocx ar iirsi prices, ana me conuuciitc
REPORT OF MINING ENGINEER.
It is as much the prudent business of a mining company to
procure the services of a competent mining engineer to examine
and report on its property as it is wise for the home builder
to engage the services of an architect to plan the building and
superintend the construction of his house. This is necessary
as ft precaution against spending money unwisely in sinking
a shaft where there is no prospect of a mine. On two different
occasions we have had this mine examined by the best engi
neers of the district and there are no better in the country
and each have assured us that we have a property of paramount
importance, and the equal in prospects of any in this well
known camp.
For example, on the 26th day of last July H. E. PETERSON,
expert mining engineer, in his report to the management said:
"The formation f your mtne connlata of Rhyollte (on th
footwall) and Quartalte (on. the hanalnK-wall) forming a contact,
traceabla along the center 'of the atrike, along- the apx of the
hill. At thia contact, frequent blow-outa of Ondealte occur, which
when croa-cut from the preaent level, will prove the permanent
mineral-bearing sone. The ahaft haa been aunk In the Rhyollte
(Toot wall country rocxi in wnicn numerous ainngera or ore nu
been encountered, carrying gold valuea ranging from $1 80 to til,-
029.00 per ton. Theae atrlngera are all dipping towards the con-
been encountered, carrying gold valuea ranging from $1 80 to til,'
n2 on ner ton. Theae atrlnaera are all dipping towards the con'
tact, which Indicates the preaence of a large and highly mineral
ized ore body at the contact of the two formatlona (Rhyollte and
Qunrtztte). The Dreaence of Andealte at the contact, together with
the dlatlnct regularity of tbe formation, demonstrates the fact that
thla property la altuated In the same geological horlxon a Tonopali
and Goldfield; In fact the character of the formation la identically
like Tonopah and the moat highly mineralised portion of the Gold
field dlatrlct. The trend of the formation Is northerly, dipping at
an angle of eighty degrees to the west
"The equipment of the mine consists of all things necessary to
the prosecution of the work, which Includea a Little Giant quarts
mill one K-H. P. Western gasoline hoist, gallows-frame, black
smith shop, tools, and all requisite appliances, also bunk and boarding-houses
for' the employes. ... .
"In conclusion I desire to state that In my long and varied min
ing experience, I have rarely, encountered a better equipped or
better managed camn than la found at your property. Perfect har
mony prevalla between the company's officers and the men em
ployed. I consider your property most promising and predict
that rou will aucceed In developing a great mine. Respectfully
aubmUted, H. B. PETERSON. E. M."
Goldfield, Nevada, July 2, 1907.
J. P. STAMPHER, ANOTHER NOTED M. E., reports
as follows:
"! found In both tunnela a number of ore 'stringers.' all of
which tended In a northeasterly and southwesterly direction. These
ledges all dip In a southwesterly direction, near the dividing line
near Butte Boy No. I and 4. In all my 17 years' experience a a
mining engineer I have never known It to fall that when string
ers are found running as do these, they eventually run together,.
Increasing In width and depth, all converging toward and forming
a solid body of ore. I believe that a little later a ledge anywhere
from 16 to 25 feet will be found. At the end of the west tunnel
took a sample of the atrlnger that assayed SM to the ton. There
was an ll-lnch stringer In the west end of the tunnel, which
looked verv rich, but I did not mynelf test It. I was Informed,
however, that this ore assayed $1,000 to the ton. At the end of1
the east tunnel 1 took a sample across a 2M-foot stringer, worth
l00 to $700 to the ton. A practical and reliable miner. In whom
I have the utmost confidence, a Mr. Turner, took a sample In the
west shaft from a stringer 8 feet wide, which aasayed $(1 to. the
ton.- I took samples from the dump. In my own sacks, working
around about SO feet In all directions, that averaged assays ot
tit SO Mr. Turner tells me that one of the smelting companies
wanted to bur the dump, but that the company would not sell it.
On the strength of my own and Mr. Turner1 a opinion. I have a very ,
high opinion of the property. For the same amount of work done
the Butte Boys haa a better showing than the Mohawk had, and
as a-ood a showing for the work done aa any mine In Goldfield. This
Is a very broad statement, but the Indications justify It. Infect,
of all the woepects I ever have examined, I have NEVER
FOUND ANYTHING ANYWHERE BO OOOD. The management Is
payingT more attention to the development of the property than
to shipping ore. as it has every confidence tn the future. IV I
HAD THE MANAGEMENT OF THE MINE. I WOULD BE SHIP
PING ORE TODAY."
BUT WHY SHOULD WE SHIP ORE WHEN WE CAN
SAVE $20 PER TON BY MILLING OURSELVES?
It would cost us $10 to $12 per ton to haul quartz to the
custom mills, and $10 for the milling. With water we can do
our own milling at a cost of $3 per ton and save the extra
expense to- our stockholders. This is what we are going to
do. This is the reason we did not adopt Mr. Stampher's prop
osition and ship or haul our ore, or sell our dump to the mill
ing and reduction companies. We prefer to sell some more
stock and have our partners in the mine and every stockholder
is a partner make the greater profits. A postal card brings full
particulars.
ONE LAST WORD.
We have many tons of ore upon the dump, precisely how
many we cannot say, and JUST AS SPEEDILY AS POSSIBLE
9(ter we have found the water wc shall beffin milling the auartz.
end our friends may be sure their dividends will come at the
earliest possible moment. I lie Butte Boys never nas misrepre
sented to its stockholders, nor taken advantage of any of tnem
in any way, and never will, and when we say that we have our
property thoroughly equipped with every requisite for profitable
mining, and the ore to back it up, we are saying only what is
positively true. We could send our ore to eustom mills and
make SOME money for our stockholders, but WHEN WE '
MILL IT OURSELVES we will make them nearly twice as
much. This is precisely the reason we are not shipping our
product to the custom mills.
TLRMS OF SALE, Until. Further Notice Our Stock Will Be TEN CENTS PER SHARE 25 Per Cent Down, 25 Per Cent Per Month
But. when we strike water THERE WILL BE NO MORE
10-CENT STOCK. The price will be five times that, and as soon
as our mill is in operation, which will be within
later THE PRICE WILL DOUBTLESS GO TO $1.00 EACH.
All our shares are of the par value of $1.00, full paid and non
assessable, and we conscientiously believe that next year their
value ill be THREE TO FIVE TIMES ABOVE PARI
THE RED MOUNTAIN REGION.
No section of the celebrated Goldfield mining district has
ever received greater or more enthusiastic attention than that
accorded the Red Mountain region, especially in the last six
months. When the Butte Boys property was discovered this
section was comparatively new, but today is the best known
of any part of the Goldfield district. In Goldfield it is on every
body's tongue. The Goldfield Review of January 18 in an ex
tensive review of the district, among other things said:
"The Red Mountain section of the Goldfield district is rap
idly forging to the front with every promise of developing some
of the richest mines in the entire district within the next few
months, mines that will rival the famous Mohawk and the
Florence as producers of high grade ore. The general forma
tion is a counterpart of that around Columbia mountain, near
Goldfield. where practically all the producing mines of the dis
trict at the present time are located, but the ledges are even
stronger, carry better values, and can be traced on the surface
for a greater distance. The entire section around Red Mountain
has been carefully prospected and sampled by eminent mining
engineers who, without exception have declared that the indi
cation for making of big mines are more favorable than were
found on the surface of either the Mohawk or the Florence.
Up to within a comparatively short time no serious attempt
had been made to open up this section of the district, although
leasers took out considerable ore from within a few feet of the
surface that ran thousands of dollars per ton, two years ago.
But they lost the ore shoot and after a few weeks of futile
effort to regain the rich vein, abandoned work on the property."
BUTTE BOYS IN PARTICULAR.
Referring particularly to the Butte Boys property, the same
paper printed this:
"The ore bodies which have been uncovered by the Butte
Boys impressed the management with the advisability of pur
chasing a mill of its own, and as a consequence there is now
at the Goldfield depot a Little Giant mill, with a capacity of
15 tons a day, which will be in operation as soon as it can be
moved to its destination and the proper buildings erected.
"The property of the company consists of five claims and
a fraction, or 105 acres in the Red Mountain district. The land
at Red Mountain is slightly undulating, being traversed by an .
immense dyke outcropping through the center of the property,
forming a low ridge. The formation is rhyolite on the footwall
and a qaartzite on the hanging wall, forming contact vein.
Along the apex of the hill frequent blowouts of smdesite occur,
and when these are crosscut from the present level they will
prove the permanent mineral-bearing cone. Several stringers
nave been encountered in the shaft which are all dipping toward ,
the contact and carrying good values. The presence of the
andesite at this contact proves that the property is situated
in the same geological horizon as Goldfield and Tonopah.
H. E. Peterson, one of the most prominent mining engineers of
the state, declares the Butte Boys to be one of the best proposi- ;
tions in the entire district, and prophesies that with the proper,
amount of development work it will be one of the biggest ship
pers and largest dividend payers in the state."

Special Officer Invents Clock
Device That Employes
Cannot Cheat.
J. J. ritzslmmons, special officer who
patrols upper Washington street, haa In
vented a watchman's changeable dial
timer, that he believes Is the most 'effi
cient recording clock ever Invented. It
Is so nrovlded that it cannot be beaten
by a "watchman. Mr. Fltzsimmons al
so believes be can rurnisn tnem ior a
apiece. . ...
The invention can d -appupa to any
clock but the most satisfactory plan
is to manufacture clocks especially
equipped. The idea is to provide a clock
controlled device which will keep a
check on the diligence of the watch
man and also the time service, of other
employes.
The ClOCK nispiaya cipnors in piH
of hands. These ciphers the employe

The employer translating the cipher

aid of a key in his possession Is thereby
apprised of the exact time when the

check up the faithfulness of the ser
vice of tne employe. ,,,.,
In appearance the dork looks like a
closed metal box. The face is not open
like most clocks but closed all except
a small hole where the ciphers referred
to are noted. It can be hung Inside
near a light where it can be observed
by the watchman. When the watchman
makes his observation he notes the
cipher appearing at the time an re
ports It to his employer the next mrn
Ihg. who can immediately tell at what
time the observations were made, by
referring to his key.

the watchmen is unable to get onto the
device. With the addition of new dials
144 ether combinations can be made.
. Mr. rttssbnxnona baa taken steps to
obtain a patent on the device and has
also made representations to the Beth
Thomas clock company regarding the
manufacture of the dock. A model
has been made by Mr. Fltzsimmons that
works admirably.
