The ALFE (iOLlJ MINE was l<K^:ated April 17th, 1895, recoi-ded May 1st, 1895, and has since been purchased
by the ALF (JOLD MINING COMPANY, (Limited Liability.)

It has been surveyed, and is fully paid for. See Government Records at Rossland, B. C.

LOCATION.

It is situated in the South Bei! f the Trail Creek district, about one mile from Rossland, B.C., and can be
seen quite easilj' from the main street oi tiiat town. It adjoins such well known properties as the "Hill Top"
aiid the " May Flower' which was the first mine to ship oi-e over the Trail Creek Railway. Close :o it also
are such valuable mines as the "Curlew," "Gopher," " Htnnestiike" and " Hattie Brown, ' aufl not 1,500 feet
away are the "Maid of Erin and " R. E. Lae," a bond on which was purchased recently by Messrs.
(xooderham and Blackstock of Toronto.

DeSCRIPTION.

Ledges on the "Alfe ' have been opened at several places with the same indications as were found on adjoin-
ing properties.

Two shafts have been started from which ore has been taken assaying from four to eight dollars in Gold
per ton; while after development the May Flower, which adjoins it, has been shipping ore to the smelter assaying
from 156.00 to $107.00 per ton.

Very few mines in British Columbia are l)etter situated foi- the transportation of ore than the "Alfe."
The Trail Creek Railway runiimi; to the smelter at Trail, passes below the property about 1500 feet to the
north, so that the ore by means of a shute (..in be placed on the cars below, thus saving a great expense neces-
sarily incurred by other mines.

THE OBJEGT

For which the Alf (Jold Minini; Com})any, Limited Liability, was formed is for the deveh»pment of the
"Alfe" and other mines which may be puiehastd V)y the Company, siruated in the rich gold fields of British
Columbia, and allowing its shareholders to participate in the results from the great yield now being takeu out
of the aiouutains in that Province.

The company does not claim to haxe a (!old Mine fully dcveh.ped with shipping ore. If they did the 5to<:k
which is now being offered for the purposes of the company at the low price of 10 cents per share could not be
purchased for these figures. But they d;) claim that the ALFE MINE, owing to its location and indications from
work already done, offers as good indueenu'iits to investcjrs as any other mining property now befoi*^ the public,
and it is their intenticm to push devlopment as rapidly as possible.

ACTIVE uEVELOraENT It HOW COINC ON, UNDER N|R. E. W. LIUECRAN, .FORMERLY MANAGER OF THE IE 1(01), AND SHIPPINC ORE
MAY BE STRUCK AT /\NY TME, WHEN THE PRICE OF SHARES WILL BE /\DVANCED.

A limited number of the "250,000 shares held in trust are now being offered for sale at TEN CENTS
PER SHARE.

Proceeds to go into the treasury and be used entirely for viie })urjM)ses of the Com})an3'.

REASONS FOR BUYING

A h r."

It is a Canadian Mine, surveyed and fully paid

for; incorporated under Canadian laws (British Columbia); controlled by Canadian

citizens.

It will have careful and economical manage-

ment — the officers personally managing the Company's affairs. The Company has no
salaried officers.

The mine is located close to the railway,

about one mile from Rossland, in the heart of the finest mining district in the world.
Cost of mining and transportation will be very low.

1 he mine has been examined by officers of

the Company, who went direct to Rossland for that purpose.

There is now over $5,000 in the treasury for

development, which amount is daily increasing.

Cabins and shops have been built for winter

work. Development is fast proceeding under Mr. Liljegran, (formerly Manager of the
Le Roi), who is one of the best mining men in the camp.

The Stock will advance as development

proceeds.

The Company's operations will not be con-

fined to the '" Alfe. " They intend putting prospectors in the field next spring, with a
view to securing and developing other properties.

The "Alfe" and any additional properties se-

cured by the Company will be owned by the shareholders of the All Gold Mining
Company, Limited Liability — all shareholders deriving the same benefit.

The only shares now being sold are for Com-

pany purposes, acquiring properties and development work.

IVoceeds go into the hands of a reliable

trustee, (Manager of Bank of British North America, Rossland,) for tht-. Treasury.

INFORMATION. '

The following lir** extr.a.;ts from the official report, made last AujjUMt, hy Mr. William A. Carlyle,

Provincial Minenilogist tVir the province of Briti«li Columbia:

*'
"The Trail Creek Mining District is located in the southern part of West Kojjtenaj', on both sides of the

Columbia Kiver, and along the International Boundary Line between Canada and|the United States.''

" Rossland, the chief mining centre, has grown very rapiilly to a town of, about 4,000 people, and is
supplied with ginxl hotels, two banks the Bank of Montreal and the Bank of British Nortii .\raerica

"The discovery, during the la.si. two <}r th we years, of large bodies uf higli grade gold oi-es. in which
(lividend-fKiying mines are now being operated, is attracting the earnest attention ot many mining men and
capitalists of l<oth America and Euro[>e. The (H)ening up of the large mines at Bosjsiand that, ii'itwithstauding
many heavy disadvantages rapidly l)eing overcome, such as means and cost of ti'ansportation have proved
very remuneratiM-, and, as more extensive exploratory work and greater depth ivre attained, promise per-
man»'ncy of large atid profitable ore bftdies, is stimulating :iiore thorough pros[)ect;iig not only around lltissland,
but in many other localities in this district, with the result that other camj)s are (juickly coming to the front,
as good prospects on being worked disclose ore of increasing value." S

'•The consensus of opinion of many mining men who have studied the conditions and surface showings in
this new camp at Rossland. is to the etiect that few camps have ever shown so many favorable indications that
warrant the belief that on further extensive, systematic exploration other shutes of gold ore will be uncovered.
Prospecting lias disclosed these many parallel vein:-, varying in width, when exj)osed, frttm an inch t(j several
feet, and it is believed that many more ore shutes wilt be found when these most promising surface indications
are thoioughly exploited, for it is <|uite improbable that the large shutes of rich ore that have been shown on
the surface by denudation will be found to l.>e the only ones."

J. A. Kirk, P. L. H., in his history of the Trail Creek Mines, written early in 1896, writes:

•' At the be^iniiin}' of ISIK"), War Ea^le Stock had cost the holders altout 17 cents a share. In less than
a year the mine yielded a jirotit (<f over $;i.')0,OUO.OO. The hi.story of the pioneer claims which have attracted
the attention of the world to the Camp, has now been briefly related. Much might be written respecting the
woiulerful discoveries that have been made on other claims. It must suffice here to state that many of them
have been bonded for large sums, varying from .820,000.00 to ^75,000.00 and over."

" Machinery is in operation in the Le Roi, War Eagle, Nickle Plate, Centre Star, O. K. and R. E. Lee.
The Josie. Cliff and Columbia it Kootenay claims will soon be full}' equipped with plant already purchased,
w4iile ownerM of many other profHjrties, including the Homestake, Crown Point and Morning 8tar, are prepared
to put in machinery as soon as development has proceeded far enough tf) enable it to lie used to advantage."

" It is almost incredible that it is only a few months since the tirst Le Roi dividend was declared ; that
ten j>er cent, monthly dividends upon a capitalization of .?500,000.00 began to attract attention to the Wai-
Eaijle : that Krissland was <»nly a ranch with a few cabins ; while to-day it has an estimated jxipulation of
.S,000 people, with first class hotels, a perfect system of water supply, and is lit by electricity : lastly, that
capital has Ijecome so convinced <)f the permanency of the camp as a field for investment that a '2oO ton
smelter has been completed to reduce its ctres."

Since the wiiting of the above paragraphs, the jiopulation of Rossland has increased with great ra))iditv.
A conseivative estimate of the peopl*' there to-day would l)e si.v thousand, while the number of mines shijjping
ore has been doubled, as well as the numlier of mines which are being equippefl with machinery.

Mining experts who have visitetl South Africa. Australia, and the I'nited Stiites. after thorough ex-
amination, have declared that the Trail Creek Mining District is one of the richest mineral belts in the world.

C. W. Callahan, M.E,, of London. England, in speaking of the Trail Creek mining camp befoic ;i meeting
in S}K)kane of the Northwest Mining Association, made use of the following significant language :

" It lias been my privilege to visit thf difVerent mining countries of the world, and I have had a little experi-
ence ilk trying to tickle mother ••artli into releasing some of her treasures. Everywhere am I reminded of that
irishman who said, when asked what kind of gold he had found: ' Bedad, its the gold that is giKxl enough, but
there's too nmch dirt in. ' What 1 have seen of this Northwest, I think thei-e is less dirt in your gohl than
anywlu-re I know of, iei(uiri!ig (jnly capital, energ}' and perseverence to make your cointr)' the foremo.st gold pro-
ducer in the wot'ld. .lohannesburif, with its princely output of two thous;iud ounces per month, is only twelve
miles in length, six miles in wiilili by three deep. The country would never amount to anything, because the
ore was too low grade. Cajdtal said no, the value was in it. They buckled to it, sought and found the
cyanide man. and he came along and brought from that the foremost gold -producing mines in the world."

" The Australian ore is low grade, but they have a great amount of enterjirise and a great amount of
capital, and they are linday facing a proposition to lift water L',.500 feet and bring it over a desert country 225
miles."

" T must saj' that y<mr Canadian people are discouragingly timid about investing your money, and are the
only people in the work! who do not realize the possession of the widest zone and the richest mineral on the face
■ if the earth. Ft seems to me that when old mother earth was distributing her minerals she encountered west-
ern hospitality, and with the .same la\ ish hand dispersed her richest gifts in this region."
