months - IS modern and commodious
dwellings have been erected, none cost

more In course of erection now. Wasco
street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth,
and Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets
between Multnomah and Clackamas
streets, are now being improved with
Hassam pavement,' a Massachusetts
proposition, which has found great
favor in the east. It is said that Has
sam pavement is so well . thought of
through New York that some million
aires had 60 miles of it laid for their
own use. Rock and cement is mostly
used in its manufacture. Over $30,000
has been spent for cement walks last
year in Holladay's addition. There is
no finer addition in Portland, and none
la ' showing such . nigh-class improve
ments. " There are no stores or saloons
in the tract. As nothing but modern
residences can bo built, it will always
be a desirable district. At an eleva
tion of 200 feet, it 4a dry and healthy.

geographical center of Portland and
contains many of the most expensive
resiliences in me cny, coaling irom
$16,000 to $25,000 each Four car lines
serve it . well, and ths most remote
part of the tract is not more than 1 V
miles from the business center. The
parsing system is admired by every
one. A space of 10 feet between the
walks and the property line is utilized
ss grass plots. There seems to be
nothing left undone to make Holladay's
addition an Ideal one.

fertilised the ground.
The development of this district, -'by
a wealthy syndicate under the manage

has been along the lines which assurs
a high-class residence district. Realis
ing the Impossibility of securing from
the city and from ths water board the
improvements necessary, ths syndicate
built Its own streets, laid cement side
walks and city water mains, secured
the construction of ths street railway
and the extension of the electrio light
service, and sold their property at prices
competing with other districts where
these Improvements did not exist

The above is a map showing the Butte Boys Consolidated Company's lease on the world-famed Gdldfield Florence property,
and should be all the advertising necessary to sell enough stock at 10c per share to work the property for many , months. We have
the right with our lease to use the Florence Annex shaft, which is , now to a depth of 506 feet; from where we will begin cross cut
ting !n two or three days, and push work night and day. The Butte Boys Mine at Red Mountain is being .worked night and day with
showings that we should be proud of. We are working every day on our Nighthawk lease, adjoining the famous Booth, and just
north of the Laguna'and Red Top. Weare down about 230 feet. We will sink about 100 feet deeper and then crosscut to the
ledge. This lease runs two years from the first of June, 1908. In tomorrow's paper we will show you a view of our lease on the
Florence, showing the famous "Florence," "Little Florence," "Florence Annex," "Rodgers Syndicate Lease," and many other ad
joining properties, as well as the Florence Quartz Mill, of which Goldfied is justly proud.
If you want stock in one of the best mining propositions ever offered, to the people of Oregon, now is the time to get it. Next
week may be too late. When we get .pay ore there will be no more stock for sale by our company. . ;
