I;iell Daisy" and many tit her valuable prop erties on all sides why should we not claim the Night Hawk to he a great property? We have a two-year lease, with a well equipped plant. Our shaft is 'i'M) feet deep with about tiu feet of crosscut. We will sink the shaft 2(H) feet deeper when we feel sure we will get the same ore as the Red Top Consoli dated, as their ledge is beiiexed to be the same as ours. Keep your e e on Night Hawk workings. rui we (Goods! The pay streak in the operations of the Butte Boys Consolidated Mining Company is no longer a myth, but a reality, and rapidly occurring events point to the fulfillment in the near future of the long cherished desires of the stockholders in this enterprise. Ori Saturday, August 15, we received a telegram from our foreman saying: "We are taking out $140 ore on our Lida lease." A later; telegram says: "Lida first class ore runs $300." This Llda lease is a little surprise we have been saving for our stockholders. On! Manager Bever's last trip to Goldfield he secured a three-year lease on the Centennial mine at Lida, a short distance from Goldfield, for which the company had been negotiating for some time. This property is equipped with a steam hoist and paraphernalia, 100 cords of wood and an abundance of water. At the present time we are following a 13-foot ledge at the 80-foot level, and a mill test of wagonload of this ore ran $211.19 to the ton. This fact alone, had we no other prospect in the Goldfield region, should make everjj stockholder's heart beat with anticipation. Time and development alone can only determine the extent and value of this property. We are following this ledge straight into the hill, and every foot we crosscut gives us almost a foot in depth, and with only an 80-foot lift we should easily be able to take out a hundred tons of ore per day, and should the ore not increase in value with depth, the present average would give $14,000 worth of ore per day, or $98,000 peY week, or $392,000 per month, or $4,704,000 per year, and three times this amount for the term of our lease, so at a glance we can see what the possibilities of this property are. This is what we, have at Llda, to say nothing of the Butte Boys claims, the Floren ce lease, the Night Hawk lease, the Silver Peak property and the Hart claims. We believe we can and expect to make the Butte Boys one of the greatest mining companies in Nevada. We have mi dead properties "to show on paper." We don't buy them and hav e no stock in that kind to sell. Money received for our stock i. used to develop the interests of our stockholders "the secret of Biutte Boys' success." isires at I JWimiAWK M'M. .; iir.i.m. ,, .i, . .. iw. ..m.. ,r . ... v , ...... f t ..'

Again, and this is another secret, after Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock no more stock will be sold from this office, for we are listing this stock on the San Francisco and Goldfi-ld stock exchanges. This listing will soon be completed, and when it is all stock must be sold through the exchanges. Are you a stockholder and want to increase your holdings? If you are not do vou want to become one'? If bo you must act quick. We are only offering 35,000 more shares, which, if taken at all, must be taken before Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, as that will insure our payroll for the next two months. You may buy by pavine one half down and the remainder in thirty days. v Viay uuy uy paying uuc lemesiifo Jj SALE CLOSES SUNDAY, AUG O I UST 23rd AT 6:00 P. M. FJ.OREH-CE QVJSEN 7 TUOFLE , r,0 Mm co.

There are many things which go to make this a desirable investment. The first is its location in the lidst of so many rich producers. Another is the favorable terms of our lease, the amount of development work already done when we secured it, and the im minence of striking pay ore at any turn of the shovel. Instead of having to do four or five months' dead work in sinking on this prop erty, we went right to work on the 400-foot level, with mining machinery and everything in readiness to make the most of the time limit. W'e are working three shifts and are crosscutting at the rate of seven or eight feet per day toward the contact of the Bee Fraction ledge, where we believe we have one of the bonanzas of the district, and not with out reason. We already have tapped ledges which go from $6.40 to $48 to the ton and a tew isolated ones which go very much higher, and tin's is exactly the formation which all the other big producers surrounding have passed . through. Look on. the accompanying map and note the rich producers surrounding us on all sides. The Engineers' Lease has declared the third dividend within the short space of two months, aggregating a total of $270,000. V. Florence. Leasing Co., Hall Lease.

It i easy t-i see how close we are to "real richness," and we are expecting to re ceive word any day that we have struck the "high crade." And in all fairness to evervbody concerned ' we must say that whenever we do Strike "pay dirt." whether it is tomorrow or next month, there will be no more stock for sale. k Butte Boys Comisrfidlatecl Mmm The Citizens Bank of Portland will register all Ru'tte Boys stock. The American National Bank of an Francisco will act as transfer agents in that city and Lavis & Jewett will act in the same capacity in Goldfield.
