Mining Record—There are eighteen sets of lessees in all, working on the properties of the Jack Pot Company.

During the month of May 1896, the United States Surveyor General for Colorado issued Affidavits of $500 Expenditure for Mineral Survey No. 8773, Mary Wynne and Silver Bell Lodes, in Pueblo land district.

I wish to call attention to the attractive features of Jack Pot as an investment with great possibilities. This company is in possession of six valuable claims prospectively speaking, five are practically patented.
They consist of;
the Jack Pot
and Gettysburg, located on Raven hill in the immediate vicinity of several regular producers.
The Ironmaster adjoining the Anaconda properties.
The Providence near the Blue Bell
the Mary Wynne and Silver Bell directly east of the World's Fair and north of the Caladonia, a producing mine.

The directors have given a bond on the Ironmaster for this year. Every claim, with the exception of the Providence, is being steadily developed.
There are over eight set of lessees actively engaged in working these properties, none however are shipping ore of any consequence.
The company recently received a proposition from well informed and reliable parties to bond and lease the Jack Pot for $50,000 which was not considered, as they are confident that they have over 400 feet of the Doctor vein, upon which a 145-ft. shaft has been sunk and soon hope to effect plans to operate the property themselves.
On the whole when one considers the ability and integrity of the management surely at present quotations this stock should merit more consideration than it is now receiving.
