In tho best
First Allotment of 100,000
Shares Largely Over
Subscribed.
Probably thoro uovor was a min
ing company In eastern Oregon with
equally brilliant financial huccchh as
that which attendod tho flotation of
tho Highland . Of eourso, to Noil
7. Borouaeu it Co. la duo tho credit
for this. Tho huad of tho firm,
which boara his name, Otto Herlockor
and Frank Sholton havo all worked
IntoiliKonUy and uultodly and do
nerve tho aticoosa which has crownod
tholr offorta. Naturally, tho roputa
tlon which tho firm haa won by
Mltiaro doalingH In tho past waa tho
predominating reason for such a pro-
nouncod atiucoss. Noll J. Sorouson
A: Co. havo Hold mining stock to
hundreds of people throughout tho
country, Hold It on tho uiorltri of tho
property without false ropruHontatinti,
and havo made money for their cuh
tomerH. These people are therefore,
at I II their cuHtnmoi'H and are ever
willing lo rink their money on the
judgment and intelligence and hon
esty of tho firm.
TIiIh is why I lie flrnl allotmuut of
100,0(1(1 HhuroHor Hlghliiud stoek,
which It had been announced would
be ready for delivery February 'JO,
Iiiih been very largely over HurhcllHd.
Do.oiih of ((degraiiiH have lawn re
ceived dally hIiico this announcement
wan Hrst made In TIIK MINKU, or
dering ntock reserve! for the senders;
while tho mailH have brought these
onlei-H by tho hundreds. Numerous
M IN Hit suhxcrl Iters merely
tho order coupon which was printed
In the advertisement, tilled it out
and houI it along with a draft, mi
accoiitpauletl by another written
word.
Owing, however, to the recent hiiiiw
Idockades on all the traiiHCouti
ueutal roadH ami tho consequent delay
In tho iiuiIIh, ninny or the lettera did
not reach here in time to participate
in tho allotment on tho twentieth.
Some of these were from old custom
ers, who have invented their money
11 every enterprise that the linn ha
promoted and, of course, they must
U let in on ground Hour prices. In
order to take care of these old
frloudH and to make new ouch, Her
eupon & Co. have decided to let go of
another ? 100,000 shares of Highland
al the original price of six ceutrt
hhare.
TIiIh will leave a few thouaud
Hhitren left after tilling all order re
volved to date and those who wIhIi to
buy at thin price Will have lo act
promptly, for thin second allotment
will Hiiroly noon lie c. haunted and
then Highland ntock will Ik ad
vanced, It Ih M'arcely necessary to repeat
here what ban been nald and written
no often Itoforo; that tho Highland,
formerly known aw the Knitpp or
liauuock Hum property, Ih consid
ered one of tho mont valuable groups
of mines in tho lllue mouutatun, by
the lest posted mining men in tho
tttato. Largo bodies of high grade
ore am already uncovered and there
Ih 110 doubt but what a great, gold
producing, dividend paying mine
will lai added to tho already long lint
emitted to eastern Oregon.
Mr. Borousou nayn that the reason
why tho public In buying no heavily
in tho Highland In that it is tho best
Rock Lousy With Gold.
Ono of tho most promising mining
proiortlos at Quartzburg is tho Gold
en Rulo quartz mining claim, about
ono milo south of tho Copper King,
of tho Standard Mining company's
group, ownod by Redmond Joyce,
who haa sunk throo 10-foot shafts
and an open cut sixty foot long to ex
pose tho lode, showing that It Is a
contact voln thirty-olght feet wide
from wall to wall. The walls are
porphory and granite. Mr. Joyce
oxhibited a spoclmou from thia prop
orvy In which can bo plainly soon
gold In fact ltis smply lousy with
gold. It is in a formation of blue
quartz, carrying hoavy sulphides,
and assays for tho whole width of
tho lodo 1103.47 in gold. Assays
woro taken by Prlco & Sons, mint
assayors of San Francisco. Thoro is
no (loum nut what thoro aro numer
ous othor lodos of tho samo kind in
thlH mining district. Tho Golden
Rule claim Ih a blind lodo and re-
qulroH a lot of prospecting to find
out ltn form. Pralrio City Minor.
