The above plat gives some idea of the excellent showing of the property of the Little Nell Gold Mining Company. Many more prominent properties could have been put in the plat, but only enough are shown to prove that the Little Nell is almost surrounded by well and favorably known claims and that it appears almost certain that some of the big producing veins must cross Little Nell ground.

Of the properties shown, The Hobo was recently sold by the Blue Bell Company for a large consideration, while the other claims are represented by stocks selling as follows:
Elkton (Mines list Colorado Springs) about $1.20 per share.
Jack Pot (Mines list Colorado Springs) about 58 cents per share.
Monarch (Miscellaneous list Colorado Springs) about 9½c. per share.
Black Bell (Mines list Colorado Springs) about 14 cents per share.
Matoa (Mines list Colorado Springs) about 27 cents per share.
Columbine-Victor (Miscellaneous list Colorado Springs) about 19c. per share.
Mable M. stock is selling in Denver at about 20 cents per share.

As will be readily seen, the Little Nell is only a few hundred feet from the Elkton group (by far the most important of the above-mentioned properties) and it appears to us only fair to call attention to the fact that the plat and statements regarding the various properties indicate that 5 CENTS PER SHARE is certainly a remarkably low price for the stock of the Little Nell Gold Mining Company, which justifies us in strongly advising its purchase.

The Company holds absolute ownership of over 15 acres of patented ground on Raven Hill, Cripple Creek District, Colorado. The location of the property being more particularly shown in the plat.
The titles have been favorably passed upon by prominent attorneys, and the stock has passed the Listing Committee of the Colorado Springs Exchange.

PUSHING WORK VIGOROUSLY
—————————
Work is being pushed on the Little Nell company's ground. The company has divided its property into four blocks, the first of which is reserved for its own working.
The remaining three blocks are leased to as many different outfits.
No. 2 is operated by W. B. Root, of Denver. Mr. Root cut a vein in the south end of his block, which assayed $14.00.
No. 3 is with Harcourt & Anderson.
No. 4 is with Head & Anderson.
The property all told includes 15½ acres and is situated near the Elkton mine. The company intends sinking a shaft soon in its block.

Little Nell Gold Mining Co.
5151. (Brooklyn, N. Y.) Kindly inform me as to the merits of the Little Nell Gold Mining Co., whose property is on Raven Hill, Cripple Creek, near Elkton mine? Is the management reputable, and has the ground any possibilities?

Ans.: The Little Nell Gold Mining Company is capitalized for 1,500,000 shares, par value $1 per share, fully paid and non-assessable. Mr. E. E. Quentin is president, Mr. R. C. Bogy, vice-president and treasurer, and Mr. J. D. Neiderlitz, secretary, and these gentleman with Mr. L. V. Bogy and J. A. Paine compose the directory.
The stock is listed in the prospect class on the Colorado Springs exchange, was promoted and originally floated at five cents per share, and has advanced to about 10 cents per share. The company owns over 15 acres of patented ground in the original town site of Arequa; this ground is well up on the hill and about 300 feet southwest of the Elkton group.
It also adjoins the Sitting Bull claims which were recently purchased by the Gould Company, and is near the Mabel M. and other prominent properties. It seems probable that the Sitting Bull claims were purchased by the Gould Company because the Kitty Lane vein ran through them, and it also seems probable that the same vein must run into the Little Nell ground.
About seven or eight veins have been opened in the Little Nell, and this property is being developed on a scale seldom equaled by prospect companies. There are three sets of lessees at work, while the company is also working energetically. For convenience in leasing, the ground is divided into four blocks:
Block No. 1 is reserved by the company and a shaft is being sunk as rapidly as possible under contract. The present contract calls for work to a depth of about 250 feet, and the shaft is now down about 70 feet. A large vein has been exposed in this shaft, and so far has been slightly irregular, waving in and out of the shaft, which is perpendicular. Up to a short time ago, no assays of value were shown in this vein, but as greater depth has been gained, the values are improving materially and become more regular, many assays showing values of $17 to $20 per ton. This block of ground is equipped with fine steam plant of machinery, power drills, blacksmith shop, etc.
Block No. 2 is under lease to W. B. Root & Co., the Little Nell Co. reserving one-half interest in the lease, besides, of course, owning the property. This block is also equipped with fine steam plant of machinery, shaft house, blacksmith shop, etc. A great deal of prospecting has been done on it in the way of opening cuts and various shallow shafts. Now most of the work is being done in the main shaft, which is sinking on a good looking vein. This shaft is now down a distance of about 60 feet and assays from this vein (which is different from veins mentioned before) have occasionally run quite high, but do not average as high as some of the other veins on the property.
Block No. 3 is under lease to Messrs. Harcourt & Anderson, and the Little Nell Company also owns one-half interest in this lease, besides, of course, owning the property. This block of ground makes the best showing of any on the property, the vein being large and true and having increased in value almost steadily from the surface down.
Another matter of importance in this vein is that the values are steadier than the others in the property. Of course, near the surface the vein is broken and the values vary to a considerable extent, but now (at a depth of about 80 feet) formation and values are both more regular, most of the assays recently taken running from $20 to $40 per ton, and many of them running much higher (some above $100 per ton). Recently streaks of sylvanite ore were encountered in this vein. This block is equipped with shaft house, blacksmith shop, etc.
Block No. 4 is under lease to Messrs. Clarke & Co., and the work being done is entirely prospective, trenching and shallow shafts being sunk, but as soon as the best place for sinking the main shaft for this block has been decided upon, the work will be pushed in that direction.

As will be seen by the above statement, there are two plants of steam machinery, both owned by the company, and work is being pushed on a very large scale. There are about twenty men working. There are, of course, complete sets of tools, supplies, etc., all owned by the company and the company is in financial condition to continue work on the present large scale for a long time to come.
Very probably from the present showing, the property will be on a self-sustaining basis in a comparatively short time.

A Denver (Col.) dispatch says: The speculation which has clouded the life of Father Michael Callanan and led to the plans for a Catholic cathedral in this city, being temporarily abandoned, promises to turn out better than was dreamed and to pay back to the cathedral parish all the money that was believed to have been lost and much more.

A rich strike in the Little Nell mine at Cripple Creek seems likely to accomplish all this.

Denver Catholics decided two years ago that they must have a new cathedral. A large amount of money was raised and placed in the hands of Father Callanan, as treasurer. He was induced to speculate in mining stocks, and, thinking to raise more money for the cathedral in this way, secretly invested $26,000 of the funds in his care in stocks.

A slump in the mining market and a call upon the priest for funds led to confession.

The securities were placed in the hands of Bishop Matz and appraised by experts as almost worthless.

Within a few days strikes of phenomenal value have been made in a mine at Cripple Creek, ore samples of which run as high as $10 to the pound. There is no doubt that the cathedral will recover all its money invested, with handsome interest, and the priest, who invested his personal fortune, will reap a harvest.

Cripple Creek—Among the properties undergoing extensive development work on the south slope of Raven hill is the Little Nell, which gives every indication of being developed into a good gold producer. Operations are being conducted on company account and two shafts are being sunk.
Four distinct ore bodies have been exposed by crosscuts. The ore carries low milling values throughout its entire course with occasional shoots of high grade.

A very thorough examination has been recently made on the property of the Little Nell G. M. Co. at Arequa. On this report depends the resumption of work, and the installation of heavier machinery.

A depth of 450 ft. has been reached in the main shaft of the Little Nell G. M. Co.'s estate and sinking will be continued until the 500-ft. point is reached, when a station will be cut and crosscut carried to the westerly side line of the property.
At the 300-ft. level a vein carrying low milling values is exposed.
