THE SUMPTER MINER
HIGHLAND STOCK
WILL BE ADVANCED IN PRICE
MAY 15 th, 1903
Development at the Highland Mi ne Justifies an Advance
in the Price of Stock. It is Much More Valu-
able Now Than When We Placed the
First Allotment on the Market
Some Two Months Ago.
CONSTANT DEVELOPMENT AND
RESULTS
A crew of men have been kept constantly at work ever
since we acquired this property and tho Glasgow crosscut
has now encountered and fully crosscut tho ledge. In
this crosscut we have opened up a body of ore sixteen feet
in width caryiug good commercial values.
In speaking of commercial Taluos wo moan ores which
have a sufficient value to pay for the extraction, milling
and all othor incidental expenses thereto, with enough of
a margin left over to pay good dividends to tho stock
holders. This largo body of oro was uot in tho naturo of a sur
plse, wo simply expected it, as tho surface developments
showed this same largo body of oro, and thoro was no
reason why it should not bo oncouutorod in this crosscut
and at this depth.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Wo uro uow turning to drift on tho lodgo to tho west
from tho crosscut in order that wo may open up tho richer
ores at a grcutor depth which nro found on tho surfuco
throughout tho Miumockbiirii claim.
This line of development, wo bol love, will provo very
interesting to nil who nro interested, or limy become In
terobted, in the Highlnud mine as It will certniuly open
up ore bodies rich in itiullty nnd In Inrgo (UuntItlos.
It will demonstrate that tho Highlnud will rank us ono
of tho largest producers in the district.
From uow on tho development work will bo compara
tively ensy and uot very expensive, us wo will bo drifting
along on tho ledge whore tho ground is much easier to
work than in the country rock which encases tho vein.
Every month will show a large increase in our ore reserves.
FREE TRIP TO THE HIGHLAND
To auy ouo who wishes to invest a reasonable sum of
money In tho Highland mine, wo will pay all traveling
expenses to and from tho mine for the purpose of his
making a personal examination.
In offering you it froo trip to tho Highland wo feel that
this Is proof within Itself of tho value of this property as
It stands to reason that If wo did not have a good mine
thoro aud all that wo claim for It we could uot olfor you

Wo would bo only too glad to have each nnd every ono
who contemplates tho Investment of motley In minus, co.no
out and look over this property aud tho district In geti
eral. In ottering to pay your expenses out hero aud Imck
wo fool that wo uro not running any risk whatsoever as wo
know positively that no ono, no matter how grout or
conservative an oxport or mining engineer ho may bo,
could possibly, roughly sneaking, "turn it down."

you in coming to tho Highlnud to look it over before
investing, wo would suggest that you and your friends
make up a small pool mid send ono of your uumlMir out
