The ledge has been stripped for two hundred feet from the water course and traced by means of open cuts to the summit of the mountain, jooofeet, or the length of two claims. The company is capitalized at $ 1,000 000, one-quarter of which is treasury stock. So far as prospected by these surface workings the ledge has an average width of seven feet. The ore is an iron pyrites carrying gold, (its principal value), some silver and a small per cent of lead and copper. Thirty or forty assays of this surface ore have been made, from sam ples taken across the vein, and the low est returns were 14.61. the highest 49.62, averaging better than $20. Across the creek, on the Gipsy Queen group, where extensive development work is being done on the same ledge, by a Boston company, at a depth of 60 feet, samples from across the face of the tunnel assayed 64.92. These workings demonstrate that the per centage of lead increases with depth, as well as the gold values, making the ore easy to treat. The Gipsy KingGold Mines Company will begin at an early day to drive a tun nel, which will cut the vein at a distance from its mouth of from co to 60 feet and at a depth of about 35 feet. When the tunnel reaches the ledge, it will turn and drift from that point in ore that will doubtless pay to ship. For the purpose of raising funds with which to prosecute this work, the first stock offered for sale has been placed upon the market. Fifty thousand shares are now offered at FIVECENTS.no more nor no less. When this is disposed of the price will be raised. Every share of stock, except that placed in the treasury, is pooled for one year from January 1 , 1901, so that this statement can be relied upon as strictly true, The market will never be Hooded with Gipsy King stock. Orders for blocks of less than ;oo shares are not solicited. All money should be sent to the treas urer of the company, J. H. Robbins, who is president of the First Bank of Sumpter.
