Proven Permanency
Within the past 30 days "The Clear
Grit" property, about two miles north
west of our Drooerties and "The Ama
zon-Manhattan," about two miles southeast of us, both made rich strikes of good
ore. These properties are on a direct line through our ground, nortneast ana
southwest, and the big porphyry dyke, which runs through our properties, extends
northwest to the "Clear Grit" and southeast to the "Amazon-Manhattan."
The Pilot property, which is also in the class of late "rich strikers," lies north
east of our properties, and recent assays from the Pilot show $17,639.77 per ton
previous shipments gave values as high, as $30,000 to the ton. A line drawn north
east from the ground of the Federal Company to the Pilot ground, would pass
through our properties authentic -maps in our office establish these facts. The
direction of these formations carrying high-grade ore are beyond argument and
are established facts, proven beyond doubts by extensively developed properties,
which are large producers and monthly shippers, with evidence of being constant
producers by increasing their tonnage from time to time. This is a matter of
record easily proven to the satisfaction of the most conservative.
The permanency of the Coeur
d'Alenes, wherein our properties
and many others of world fame rep
utation are located, is a well-established fact, recorded in the mining department of
the state of Idaho. It is not a matter of individual or corporation say so, out a ,
"state record" and in spite of a serious car and fuel famine during the first half
of the year, a serious labor famine during the middle period, together with the
panic in metal values that was on about September and Cfctober resulting in clos
ing down several of the principal producers; still the output shows a value of
$22,165,191.34 for the year of 1907, segregated as follows:
Lead, $12,470,341.74; silver,, $5,546,553.82; copper, $2,241,177-17; gold, $1,373,
031.40; zinc, $534,087.21; total, '$22,165,191.34.
There are 600 live mining corporation nroperties in Idaho, besides the privately
owned properties, many of them employii 400 men on one mine. Half of these
properties are in the Coeur d'Alene district. A further illustration of the perma
nency of Idaho as a mining state is proven by the production diiring the follow
ing years:
1902, $8,839,134.96; 1903, $11,785,168.40; 1904, $13,421,288.97; 1905, $15,000,000.00;
1906, $24,138,317.03.
1907 fell a few millions short of 1906, on account of the car and fuel famine,
the labor troubles and the financial panic causing a drop in the price of metals and
the closing down of large plants in Idaho. 1908 will show a larger production
than ever, before. "
.'
The above figures
are a concentra
tion of true hard
facts indisputable and 'of record. Why gamble on some imaginary, maybe.
might be, perhaps tuture ot riches, when you hare an established and proven loca
tion of overflowing wealth? Conservatism, where is your judgment? Speculators,
where is your percentage? We give proof for the conservative, by an established
fact of record, and ?e give opportunity for the speculator by the addition records
of large fortunes made in buying Coeur d'Alene stocks.
Existing and Established Fads
Good Common Sense
It does not need any superior knowl
edge or exceptional foresight to un
derstand the merits of oar properties,
and reach the conclusion that they are big money makers. All it needs ii good
common sense and the knowledge of what has been done in the Coeur d'Alene
for the past 25 years and of what is being done no. We have a copy of the
Idaho state inspector of mines report in our office and that is where we get our
figures they are facts written and recorded a state record beyond contradic
tion. Come, in and see this report, or write to Robert N. Bell, state inspector of
mines, Boise, Idaho. Perhaps he will send you a copy. It is only necessary to
be able to read to learn these facts. Read and learn and take advantage of your
knowledge. 4 ' .
Common Sense Management
The investor usually
has doubtf as to
whether or not his
money will be properly expended in the channels most beneficial to the enterprise
in which he invests, and on this account often holds back an investment whicji he
would otherwise make. Now it is your turn to use a little common sense upon
the following conditions. The management of this company is the heaviest
stockholder and the success' of our properties will mean millions, and will make
every stockholder proportionately wealthy. Can we afford to take chances on
losing this success by being extravagant or careless in the expenditure of our
funds?. Would you do it? What does common sense tell you?
We are not "penny wise and pound foolish," and we cannot afford to sacrifice.'
the large dividends to be derived from the development of our properties, just to
squander a few dollars in "extravagant management." We do not claim extra
ordinary knowledge, but we are not foolish enough to jeopardize a future of
wealth. You would not do it and why should we? If you are "busted" and have
no money, this does not interest you; but if you have money, get your thinker
in working shape and turn on the current of common sense.
Our Neighbors
The "Clear Grit," about two miles northwest and
Ihe "Amazon-Manhattan," about two miles south
east of us, both made bisr strikes this month. A
direct line drawn from the "Clear Grit" to the "Amaxon-Manhattan" must nass
through our properties.
The Pilot property, northeast of us, also made a big strike last months-its
value went $17,639.77. A line drawn from the Pilot to the Federal Company's
ground and the Bunkerhill and Sullivan properties would pass through our
ground. Come in and let us show you maps proving these statements.
Honesty of Purpose
We own 11 claims, comprising 220
acres, located about one and one-half
miles from Delta. Shoshone countv.
Idaho, mere has oeen about $1U,UUU of work done on these properties, suffi-i
cient to prove that we have the ore bodies in our ground, and that it only requires
development work to open them up. We are selling treasury stock to develop
our properties, because we are convinced that we have as much mineral wealth in
our ground as any of the big producers and dividend-paying properties in our dis
trict, and we have good reasons to think so. A number of mining engineers and
old practical miners have told us so and are still telling us so and if you knew
what we do about our properties you would believe as we do. The officers of this
Company are heavy stockholders and 'tis dividends on this stdek that they want
and dividends to them means dividends to all stockholders. The sale of stock
means development of our properties, which in turn means the payment of divi
dends. We do not claim to be controlled by a feeling of philanthropy, because it
is our own interest as well as the interest of each individual stockholder, to reach
our ore bodies as soon as possible but we do claim honesty of purpose, a 'clean,
square, honest and conservative administration of the affairs of this company and
an equality of profits to each stockholder, in accordance with the number of
shares held.
Stock Sale
We are selling 50,000 shares of our treasury stock at 25c
per share, either 'on all cash or monthly payment basis
price will be 50c per share, unless, of course, we open up the ore bodies at an
earlier date, then the price of our stock will be much higher, depending upon the
extensiveness of our ore bodies. ' v

report.

Indications, we are likely to strike a big body of ore almost any old time. I find the original estimates of depth and distance are essentially correct.
We will get a little more, depth, as the elevation at the mouth of the tunnel is 2,700 feet and the crest of the hill over the tunnel is 3,200 feet. I have not
been able to determine fully the pitch of the quart lead, but from what I can see it won't vary much from the original estimate. This however, may flat
ten up and pitch toward us faster than we thought, originally. Ill do som e work on that gold outcrop just as soon as we get things fixed at the tunnel,
so they can push the work to advantage there. I wouldn't be surprised if I would be able to hand you a bunch of good news in a short time, if things .
keep on improving in the tunnel like they have this week, for there has certainly been great improvement in the last five or six feet. The breast of the
tunnd is looking very encouraging and is becoming highly mineralized; would not be surprised if we made a strike there any day."
