New discoveries are constantly being made and the area in which these large and very rich ledges are being dis- being widened and extended; important discoveries have recently been made, which render extremely valuable the area now controlled by this company, and as well as that in which it is proposed to operate In addition it has been decided to add the feature of an exploration company to examine, prospect, develop and take over other properties in Tonopah, Goldfield, Bullirog, Silver Peak and other districts, tages of combining this feature are that: 3 1 and acquisition of mining property the company commands, first, its own efigineering talent, and, setond, may select from the work of a great army of prospectors. The latter are always presenting their dis- hom they believe will undertake development. Out of such a condition, aside from the active work of those directly in the employ of the company, the good from the bad can be segregated. The earliest ¢ best discoveries in a district thus pass into the hands of our examining engineers.

Heretofore the large investor and the Exploration Companies have curiously enough devoted themselves to a search for “going concerns.” “Going concerns” of merit are seldom for sale at a commensurate price. If they are ac- quired it is usually at a price so high that over-capitalization must follow with meager and uninviting dividends. It is not unusual that the end of the dividend period has been reached long before there has been a return of the I and the interest on the money whick it should logically earn. facts have in the past too often operated disastrously to many worthy but misdirected concerns the Tonopah Home Cons. M. &. E. Company will seek to acquire and take over properties in their early de- ever fruits may accrue out of such properties the company will enjoy in the fullest measure, not only in the production of ores, but in the enhanced values arising out of actual development. The latter is often the lar- sset which a “going concern” has to offer when it is for sale. Moreover, In the early stages of development, before any considerable amounts of money have been spent, the earmarks of promise or failure pretty gen- themselves. It is therefore possible to forestall a large outlay which in the end may become a total loss, and at a time when we have spent only such reasonable sums as the property or properties actually or rea- of prospective or speculative value, but in the light of substantial and definite merit. 3 scoveries made within the past two or three years in Western and Southwestern Nevada, embracing such districts as Tonopah, Goldfield, Bullfrog, Kawick, Lida, et al, call attention conspicuously to Notwithstanding the la¢k of capital many splendid fortunes have been made. ry instance those fortunes have been made at an astounding premium. Thus only have the very high grade ores been shipped at costs ranging from $20.00 to $40.00 per ton. Had ample capital been in 1 nearly the whole of the values could have been converted to the profit of the owners, instead of to transportation, reduction and other companies. ile those of lower value either remain unworked altogether or are handled at a heavy disadvantage. A large proportion of mining dividends are derived not from bonanza ores, but from those of medium or even low value, and going concerns of to-day are ones In which ample capital is in hand to make a success wherein for the lack of capital failure would follow.
