GOLD, GOLD, GOLD,
ENOUGH FOR ALL.

Don't wait. An opportunity of your life. Investigate quickly. Times are improving, and this chance to acquire a partnership in a Cripple Greek Gold Mine will not be open long. It is dangerous to delay. The same attention given to small investors as large ones.

The Broken Hill Gold Mining Company

is located in the heart of the Cripple Creek Gold fields, El Paso County, Colorado. This Company is capitalized for One Million Shares, one-half of which are now remaining in the Treasury, one hundred thousand to be disposed of at 2.5 cents per share, proceeds to be used in development, building and erecting machinery, etc.

The Company owns eight acres south of the famous Independence, and is about 3,000 feet south of the properties owned by the Portland, which has just paid one dividend of ninety thousand dollars.

This is in the same locality as all of the Great South Battle Mountain mines, undoubtedly the richest in the world. We have a large vein, and should it prove to be the Independence, Doubtful or Anna Lee vein, all stock will at once be withdrawn.
With our expensive development we are liable to strike the enormous ore bodies at any time.

The shares of this Company are full paid and forever non-assessable. Dividends will be paid on every share, thereby making all shares alike.

$ 2.50 buys 100 shares.

SUFFICENT FOR ALL.

It is folly to hesitate in grasping the opportunity of a lifetime. Investigate carefully and quickly. Times are fast improving and this chance to acquire a partnership in a genuine Cripple Greek Gold Mine is not offered generally or indefinitely.
Delays are dangerous. Equal consideration given to small investors as larger ones. Natural advantages for economical mining. Our Company probably possesses the direct continuation of the richest GOLD vein ever discovered.

This is in the same locality as all of the Great South Battle Mountain mines, undoubtedly the richest Gold territory in the world.
We have an enormous vein, and if it continues to improve, all shares will be shortly withdrawn from the marked, as we are liable to encounter a large body of ore at any time.

MAGGIE.—This claim on Wilson Creek 2,500 ft. south of the Independence mine has recently been equipped with steam hoist to still further sink the shaft below the 100 ft. level. The formation is granite, and the vein well defined.

The Colorado Iron Works Company, of Denver, Colorado, reports to have shipped during last week one carload of mining machinery to Boston Battle Mountain Mining Company of Victor, Colorado.

Boston & Battle Mt. Mining Co.
3463. (Boston, Mass.) What is the condition of the Boston & Battle Mt. Mining Co., of Cripple Creek, and is the mine being pushed towards a profitable basis?

Ans.: The property of the company, which is under lease and bond, is situated just east of Victor, Colo., and about 2,500 feet a little east of south of the Independence mine. It is equipped with a shaft house, 25x68 feet, a 50-horse power steel boiler, a No. 7 Cameron sinking pump, a Hendrie & Bolthoff hoister, a reserve boiler, and the usual minor accompaniments.
The shaft has been sunk to a depth of 358 feet, but thus far the sought-for ore body has not been found. No drifting has been done below the 240-foot level, the idea being to gain depth. Scores of assays have been taken within the past six months, the average of which has returned a value of about $ 4, although picked assays are said to have run as high as $80.
In March last, two of the directors visited the property, and caused examinations to be made by a couple of mining men of experience and good standing, who were well acquainted with the camp. The reports in each instance were to the effect that the indications were promising.
The board of directors as at present constituted, took charge of affairs about a year ago, at which time, following a number of retirements from the board, all salaries and commissions were abolished, to the end that revenue derived from the sale of treasury stock should be applied wholly to development work.

Boston & Battle Mt. Mining Co.
4491. (Concord, N. H.) Would you kindly report on the Boston & Battle Mountain Mining Co., floated in 1895; president, Chas. Lawrence; clerk, F. L. Jarvis, of Portland, Me. I think the mine is located in Cripple Creek.

Ans.: This company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Maine, with a capital of $2,000,000, and its last return (1898) shows that stock to the amount of $1,705,232 is subscribed for. The present treasurer of the company is William H. Severance, of Lynn, Mass., who writes us as follows:

"The lease given to the Boston & Battle Mountain Mining Company by the Broken Hill Company, was broken some time ago through lack of funds to carry on the work, and the 'Maggie' has reverted back to that company. What they intend to do with the property, I am unable to say."

It would appear from the above that the outlook for the company was not very encouraging. There is no mention of the company in the Colorado state mining directory for 1898 beyond the mere fact of its registration in the office of the Colorado secretary of state on June 22, 1896, with 2,000,000 shares, and headquarters in Victor.
No current handbook of the mines and mining companies of Cripple Creek mentions it.

Company is active or promise to be active trader on various exchanges.

The Board of Directors of the Great Central G. M. company has ordered their manager, F. A. Wright, to at once begin the purchase of machinery and all necessities for the construction of a 58-ton cyanide mill on their property which is located near Victor.

Maggie—Samples taken from the breast of a new shoot opened at the 350-ft. level gave returns of 2 oz. gold per ton.
