This is one of the most promising: prop erties in the district. Rich ore has been taken out f the adjoining1" properties on three sides, and for the amount of work done the produc tion has been wonderful. The vein shows from the surface workings that the chutes of ore are very close together along the strike of the . vein. With cheap power at hand and the amount of high grade ore in sight and indicated by the old workings, together with the fact that the veins of this mountain have been opened for a depth of 2,180 feet, wherein each instance the surface showings were no better, with vein structure and geological conditions the ame, has proven beyond a doubt .that all true fissure veins of this district carry their values to great depth. v.. The following assays were taken during the last few months, which will give an idea of the rich ore this vein carries. From the samples I have taken, and the tests made, it is my opinion that the average grade of the ore will be over $100 per ton with every indication1 that it will increase with depth. SILVER. Oz.

This property is reached from the Oregon Short Line railway by the Nampa & Owyhee railway to Murphy, thence by wagon road, 20 miles to Silver City, which is centrally located among the mines of the district. The Village Blacksmith Mining Company wasorganized February, 1907, and the first meeting of the stockholders was held on March 23, 1907, and directors elected. The production from this property has been about $200,000 from surface workings. The New Year claim was known in early days as the Mary Blaine, and from the data that can be obtained through the express companies and parties who worked the property the production was over $75,000, with the deepest work ings less than 100 feet. The Village Blacksmith produced even more than the New Year claim from surface workings, but owing to the water, which required pumping machinery to handle, and the high milling charges at the custom mills, no deep mining was done, and the property was held by the Prudy estate and OJhers until Mr. Curtis purchased it in 1898. Before the company was organized Mr. Curtis had carried on the development in a small way, cleaning out the old workings in places and opened some of the ore bodies about 70 feet deeper, which shows one of the rich ore chutes worked on the surface. DEVELOPMENT. There has been about 400 feet of tunnel run on the vein in the Village Blacksmith claim that has cut the first chute of ore about 70 feet deeper than the old workings, and the tunnel has now reached another chute of ore that is improving in value as the tunnel is extended. A 50-foot raise is being made from the old workings to the surface on the New Year claim that will be used for a shaft through which exploration of the vein below the old workings will be made. The vein has been opened along the surface for about 2,000 feet with drifts, open cuts and shafts, and all these waste dumps contain rich ore scat tered through them, which show that high grade ore had been ex tracted from this work. The general method of ores where depth has increased the silver values is in concentration and pan amalgamation, making a saving of over 90 per cent with cost of milling from $2 to $2.50 per ton. In a vein of this character the cost of mining would not exceed $5 per ton, mak ing a total cost for production of .$7 JO per ton. Nearly all mining machinery in the district is run by electric power generated on Snake river, and owned by the Trade Dl!ar Co- which has reduced the expenses of production over one-half. There being a law in the atate of Idaho makin it a felonv for anv nerson who knowintrhr makes or nubliahn in anr wav whatever anr state. ment which ia false or wilfully exaggerated, we are incorporated under a Jaw which especially protects the Investor. We have capitalized this company at only 1.500.000 shares, par value $1. There s no preferred stock; all is common aiock and Bon-asse-able. The small stockholder will be amply protected, and their interest will be watched and ruarded aa ieaVttistv as those of the larire stock holder. Our books are always open for msnection. -.-.. Branch offices of this company have been established at U24 Second Street, room 34. where the am ef the mines is on exhihiflna li charge of Mr. V. S. Cartis, president of the company, who will give all the information desired-and receive subscriptions for stock.

WHY STOCK IS SOLD. The object in selling stock is for the purpose of sinking a working shaft 200 feet deeper than the present level, and in order to do this work it is necessary to put in electric hoist, air compressor and compressed air drills that this work may be done at the least possible expense. When the shaft is completed it is the plan bf the company to install a stamp mill to treat the ore, and from the amount of rich ere in sight (with the deeper levela in ore bodies from this new shaft), it is esti mated that the development will be sufficient to install the mill The directors hope to-place the company on a. self-supporting" and dividend paying basis with the proceeds from the sale of 200,000 ; fharea of treasury stock. This would leave a final capitalization of 1.300.000 shares of stock issued, leaving 200,000 shares in the treasury ; not issued, as a reserve with no dividend earning power. . - Ail treasury stock not soM on the day when this property becomes self-supporting will be at once withdrawn from the market, with a view to keep the capitalization of the company at as low a figure aa possible.
