Rawhide, NcvM April 10, 1908. W. B. Stewart, Portland, Or. Friend Stewart: I wired you today that we had struck it rich on our lease here. You thought we had a good showing when you were here, but I wish you were here now. In trenching on the vein, as you advised, we found a much richer place, and I am going to start sinking a shaft there tomorrow. - The vein for about four feet shows shipping values, and a five-inch streak is as rich as anything in the camp. Ani pending you a small sample of rich streak which you can have assayed and satisfy yourself. All doubts about values going down deep have been set at rest by Tex Rickard, on the Rawhide Northern, about 700 feet northwest of our lease. He was boring for water, and at a depth of 185 feet struck a ledge from which they took five assays, all averaging over $100 per ton. This means a great deal for us and the camp, and establishes the fact that the values go down. The Bluff-Hoodlum lease, adjoining us, has seven feet of $90 ore at 100 feet, and Fay is sack ing ore which goes around a $100. The camp is looking better every day. Men are working for stock and they feel jubilant. Very little leasing stock is being sold for less than 25 cents per share on inside eround. Mr. Chettie. workintr a lease on the Owl. incor porated lately and sold $20,000 worth of stock in a few days at 25 cents per share. I suppose you have raised the price of our stock.to at least 25 cnts. There would be no trouble in disposing of it here at that price. I consider it worth R. G. VIRTUE. $1 now, with the showing we have here alone. Will. send box of ore soon. . . Sincerely yours, The Ore Assayed Immediately upon receipt of the letter and ore, President Stewart took the sample to the assay office, and at 4 o'clock had returns that gave its worth at $662.08 to the ton, and this but a few feet below the surface of the ground. That there are depth values in the camp is established by the letter printed above (beyond all perarjventure and all doubt), and ' Superintendent Virtue's Estimate of the Value of Our Shares, $1 Each. Is Not Even in the Realm of Extravagance, But we have promised that we would sell this last 50,000 shares at 10 cents each, and will keep-our word, but -not another will ever go at that figure. A LETTER FROM GOLDFIELD Our Mr. James H. Meikle,, director of our work at Goldfield, uVider date of April 10, writes that he is pushing work on our Florence lease, and that I propose to continue the present course (drifting) until we cut the mineralized dacite dyke which shows in the Little Florence, working, with a strike that should bring it into your ground across the southerly line. As soon as we cut it I will drift on it to the point where it will intersect the ledge from which the val ues were got on the 150 level. AT THIS POINT WE SHOULD FIND A BODY OF ORE LIKE THE LITTLE . FLORENCE IS FAMOUS FOR. Very good progress is being made, we having advanced the drift 40 feet since the first of the month." . JAS. H. MEIKLE. What More or What Better Things Can Be Said of Our Prospects? Our Rawhide lease an assured success, our Stockholders have an investment the like of which never was heard of befor on this coast, and we now look for this stock to' GO SAILING HIGH within the next three months 1 IT IS THE BEST GOLD PROPOSITION EVER HEARD OF IN THIS NORTH PACIFIC REGION, BUT THE LIFE OF THIS STOCK SALE IS OF SHORT DURATION.
