South America throitlt the receipt of
lellern from friends oiiKiisrd In min
ing Hint oilier pursuits in that coun

published about those rounlric.
The copy of n letter roeently re
ceived lias added much to the en
thusiasm of ihoM? citizen1. A number
of Alaska miner under the leader
ship of Swift Water Kill, it i report
ed are getting up an expedition for
the South American gold fields as
well as a party from San Fracico
tinder the leadership of George Wing
field. Owing to the reputed ricliuc of
the. placer mines there and the repre
beatation that those countries are
making liberal inducements to get
miners and immigrants there; through
tho offer of cheap lands nud libera)
concessions; cheap labor and a tem
perate climate from an elevation of
5000 feet and upwards; thus permit-1
ting mining and other operations
every month itr (he year, there is like
ly to bo quite a stampede of miners
nud others to that country in the
near future.
It is proposed to organize a com
pany nnd raise money for the pur'iosc
first; of selecting two reliable men
to go to South America nnd invoti
gnle the mining and other resources
of Hint country.
Second, if their report is favorable,
then to.gct concession's nud purchase
cheap lands as an invcstmcntor op
erate same as determined by the
company in the future.

March 4th, 1012.
Mr. dim McCormick, Opher, Alaska
Friend Jim: Yours received and
contents noted, was glad to know thai
you were doing well in that countn
section, with regard to the following
questions you ask me I have to say
that Bolivia government is ready to
extend every courtesy in their power
to Americans. They wish to encour
age them to cast their lots in their
midst as they know them to be good
or the best miners on earth nnd good
citizens. Yon can take up as much
land as you wish to survey and sur
as long as you work the ground, per
annum.
With regard to the olituntiu condi
tions yon will no doubt bo surprised.
December, Jaiuiary nnd February it
is constantly mining and the rest f
the year it is almost like southern
Oregon. There is no extreme heat at
any time.
Now Jim, I will tell you how to find
me or this section. My partner and
I arrived here on the rivor eiaht
months ago, we were almost broke
when we got here. We had ijo tools
such as wlup-saws, we had to how
lumber out with axes to build n rock
er with. We commenced wurkinir on
the point of a bar, we got oat '.MO
yiUices; we than returned to Sornta
where we disjtoscd of our dust at
s?l!1.00 per oz., to n trader; we thn
left to the coiust where 1 received
some belting and returned with crude
tools 1 could get hold of, built a
eiuim pump, we put it in a shaft S
feet bv 8 feet and got down 1-1 feet
and struck it with a rich stioak when
we got as high as $23.00 to one pan
and "2.1c pans were quite common but
belt broke nnd we found it so rotten
we qpHld not patch it up and returned
to work on the surface until wo get
money enough ahead to go out and
get proper machinery to handle the
water. The river is so flat that it is
impossible to make a bed-rock drain,
so -a pump is the only thing to get
down with, we prospected the river
for a distance of '2o miles and found
the dirt to average the same and this
distance down we rnn into a box
canyon we worked most. I would
not advise lass than two person- to
go together in this country and they
should not think of " starting with
less than $200(1.00 each and as much
more capital as you can bring. You
can take up lots of ground and work
lots of men. Natives and Italians arc
very friendly and glad to receive
wages, they are good workers and
can.be hired for seventy-five cents to
$1.50 pr. dav, native money and
board, which would be 35e to 50c in
United States money.
The Tipuani River is situated in
the Republic of Kolivin, department
of tat Paz, about 15 degree So. Lati
tude nnd about GOO milo.- from the
Pacific Coast and on the eastern
slope of the Andes. The port on the
coast is Mollendo in the southern part
of Peru. The railroad from Mollendo
to Puno on i-ake Titicaca is about
.'100 miles, stage from Puno to Lam-
vey it yourself and from the time you ' in is 125 inile.. from Lampa to So
commence working you must pay the I rata by mule back trntuortntioii is
about 200 miles and takes nine dajs
to make the tiip.
At Sorala or Soralo you will find
a merchant 1Y nnnte of J. Jt. Souther,
who will give you ill the needed in
formation as to my correct locality
on tho river Tipuani. You had bettor
outfit at Sorato. The tools are of
native manufacture and arc made of
iron. Do not fail to lake a whip saw.
as j on will need it the first thing
when you get here. With regards to
machinery you no doubt have a bet
ter knowledge of what is host lit ted
for this kind of work and you should
have it properly tustcd before you
leave San Francisco, with extra fit
tings for your weak parts as uouo
can be putvehased here. Xow dim,
the proper time to leave the States
for this point is nbout March 1st.
this will brim you to your final des
tination about May 1st. which season I
(ho rain will have fallen and make
prospecting easy.
From our experience on the river
(Tipuani) one mouth's work on the
river will be enough to convince any
one of the fact that a vast amount of
money can ie made. Wo know tint
it will- be necessary to spend a life
time to make a fortune out of placers.
These placers are situated at an alti
tude of 5000 to 0000 ami at the foot
of the Andes which are covered with
porputunl snow which" keeps the clim
ate cool and pleasant. There is ;
abundance of timber for fuel and
milling purpo-es and native labor
cheap. Advise all your friends to
stay away who have oily bare en
ough money to get here with a there
are a great many things to take into
consideration on a trip of this kind,
but for a good energetic man there is
open a great field for a sure fortune
awaiting him. As yet tho lodes or
veins in this section have not been
thought of. There is good drinking
water nud water Miwer in nbuudanc".
I would ndvibc you to bring plenty of
doubt when suffiuieul people get hero
nud mining is opened up (hero will ho
no doubt river slouiuot put into ser
vice, that will bring eerything to our
doors at modern to prices, at present
flour is $25.00 per one hundred
pounds, meat one dollar per pound
and everything in proportion, (lame
is scarce nud hard to get. All (Ins
talk about bad natives h u falsehood,
they are very kind and they will pro-
tool vour interest from all intruder.
For Christ sake get out of that frozen
country nud come to a climate that
cannot be duplicated outside of Cali
fornia. Now, .litn, .w'hat 1 liuve told von in
. Vv . ....
tins letter l stand readv to liacl; up
when you arrive here. Hoping to sec
you next May or June 1st, I remain
as ever,
Your Friend nud ilium,
JOHN" ITIUIFSON.
