Plain facts is what you want, and plain facts is what we will offer you, to induce you to become identified with us in the making of one of the liuest properties ever offered to the public. Organize a club, then send ah expert to examine the "STOKM KING" MINKS, he will easily satisfy you of the richness of our property. "Note" The increased depth of the shaft mentioned in Professor KIerman'H report was done in the interval between his ex amination and that of Captain Paul. It win only done to prove conclusively the permanency of our ledges. All the ledges can be easily worked bv tunnels, thereby saving vast sums of money.
