A. 1807. u « o c >• S o c -a 3 o a. ui ■ lU Organization and Location. The ^'Hattie Brown Gold Mining Company" of Spokane, Washington, is incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington, for the develop- ment of mineral claims, etc , in the United States of America, and Province of British Columbia, and has been reg- istered with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies at Victoria, B. C, and is 210106 legally qualified to do business in that Province. This Company owns the **Hattie Brown'' mineral claim, which is situ- ated on the southeast slope of Deer Park Mountain, in the south belt and about one (i) mile from Rossland, as is shown by map on page — . Title. This Company has a perfect title to its property, under Crown Grant is- sued in March, 1896, and is entirely free from debt Facilities for Mining and Transportation. The property is well situated on the foothills of Deer Park Mountain, fac- ing the south and east, and the prob- ability of being troubled with water in sinking is very slight; in fact it has been said there is almost no danger to be anticipated from this source. It is only about 1,000 feet to the Columbia & Western Railway, on a down grade, and the cost of shipping is therefore reduced to a minimum. The Columbia & Red Mountain Rail- road, an extension of the Spokane Falls & Northern Railway, has also been built during the past season into Rossland, and the distance to the depot of this railway line is not more than one mile. Assays taken from various places on the surface run from a trace to $125 per ton in gold, silver and copper, but the highest assays have only been found in small stringers; however, the development work on the property up to date has demonstrated the fact that with depth the ore increases in value, and from the enormous showings on the property, it is the opinion of many that a good body of pay ore will be en- countered before very great depth is attained. Other properties in this vicinity have obtained similar assays at or near the surface, but at a depth of from 50 to 100 feet have abundance of ore that runs from $25 to $50 per ton and upwards. Treasury Stock. This Company has set aside 250,000 shares of its capital stock for the pur- pose of developing the property . It is being judiciously expended, and no officer ot the Company receives any re- muneration for his services; therefore investors may feel assured that they are receiving fair treatment from the Company. Development Work. Before the incorporation of the ' 'Hat- tie Brown Gold Mining Company," the owners did considerable exploration work— sufficient to satisfy them that in the ''Hattie Brown" they had a valuable property. The work done since incorporation will be found by ref- erence to the report of E. W. Liljegran, a well and favorably known mining ex- pert, who has resided in this district for several years and has been connected as superintendent with theLeRoi and other well-known mines in the camp. The following extracts from the **Ross- land Miner" will give an idea of the opinion *r» V held by disinterested parties in Rossland rel-' ative to this and also surrounding properties: HATTIE BROWN IMPROVING, Surface prospecting on the Hattie Brown was fin- ished before the recent snowstorm and the work re;>u ♦^ed in disclosing the presence of five veins running throngh the property, aU of which justify developnlen^ The discovery vein has been stripped for 200 feet Aiom the old workings .. » i look? very strong and continuous. Work has ^or the time being been concentrated on a permanent working shaft which is being put down on the big north vein. This shaft is now down 20 feet and was started on well mineralized vein matter which is gradually giving place to a solid pyrrhotite. A shaft house and blacksmith shop are now being erected. There is a district in the South Belt which is probably destined to make a sensation within the next few weeks for very high grade ore and plenty of it. It is impossible as yet to give the exact limitations of this district or to describe it accurately, but it may be said to include the Silver Bell, Lily May, Curlew, Blue Bird, Hattie Brown, Red Eagle, Mayflower/ and probably the Hill Top, Little Bess, Alfe, and other claims in that vicinity. The assays recently had from the Mayflower, Red Eagle and Silver Bell are quite surprising and leave no doubt of the richness of the ore in those claims. A peculiarity is that the chief element of value in these ores is silver. They also carry some lead. All of them carry gold * * * Active work is now being done on the Silver Bell, Lily May, Mayflower, Blue Bird and Hattie Brown, and work is to commence immediately on the Red Eagle. We may reasonably expect, therefore, to have important news from this gold-silver district at any time. 7 1 Official Report ON THE J* J» ''Hattie Brown" Mineral Qaim* The *'Hattie Brown' » mineral claim is sit- uated on the southeast base of Deer Park mountain, and is bounded on the south by the **Curlew,'» on the west by the ^'Lady DufFerin,'' on the north by the ** Monday, V\ and on the east by the ''Blue Bird." The *' Hattie Brown" has six distinct min- eral veins crossing the property, all of which have had some work done on them in the way of partially exposing the width and character of ore. Mineral Vein No. I Vein No. i is developed by a prospect shaft (No. i) 9 feet deep, showing 9 feet of ore and ledge matter. There is considerable ore in which pyrrhotite of iron predominates, with a free sprinkling of arsenical iron, and in places quite massive ; the full width of the vein is not exposed . One hundred and fifty feet north of shaft No. I the vein is again partially exposed by a trench showing the vein to continue well mineralized. The glacial drift has left a .slight covering of soil and gravel throughout this re- gion, which has covered a portion of this vein, but which, however, crops out as indicated by iron capping. Mineral Vein No, 2. Vein No. 2 has been developed by a shaft and trench ; the shaft is 13 feet deep, showing the vein 9 feet wide at least, the foot wall not exposed; this vein is filled with porphyritic quartz, containing arsenopyrite, iron pyrites, and iron pyrrhotite. Mineral Vein No. 3. This vein is developed by a shaft and two open cuts ; the shaft is down i8 feet, showing lyi feet of porphyritic 10 \ 1 ^ quartz, with massive iron pyrite and arsenical iron. The vein matter is quite soft and the width has not been determined ; the open cut on the east shows the well-mineralized quartz to be at least 5 feet wide. The open cut on the west is down 18 feet in a soft oxidized iron vein, well filled with kidneys of iron ore, containing some copper. Mineral Vein No. 4. This vein is devel ^ped by two shafts, I open cut and 2 trenc cs. Shaft No. 6 is down 13 feet in a heavy iron-capped vein ; this shows the whole mass to be heavily charged with iron py- rites and iron pyrrhotite, with some copper and Molybdenite. The work- ings show this ore body to be at least 9 feet wide without either wall in sight. The trenches east and west both show the vein. Shaft No. 5 is down 50 feet in an enormous iron cap- ping, with an abundance of iron pyr- rhotite, with some iron pyrites. The rock h : softened with depth. This 11 PI0106 shaft is covered by a shaft-house, in which is a blacksmith shop and wind- lass. This shaft is being sunk 5 ft. x 7 ft. in the clear. It is intended for a general working shaft. The vein is again opened on the- east by an open cut showing the lead to be very wide and well-filled with mineral. Mineral Vein No. 5. This vein is developed by prospect shaft No. 4, 7 feet deep, showing the same character of ore as in vein No. 4. The width is not known. The trench on the west has the vein continuing through it; as it continues west it is covered by a glacial drift. The trenches on the east show the con tin - ation of the vein with two feet of nearly clean ore, which is full of mas- sive arsenical iron, pyrrhotite 01 iron and copper. Still further east the vein is opened by an open cut in the mas- sive iron capping, full of pyrrhotite ore. The trenches on the east show the continuation of the vein. 12' « ( Mineral Vein No. 6. This vein is exposed by a prospect shaft 4 feet deep, wiih a massive por- phyritic quartz full of iron pyrites; the foot wall is visible, which is a soft syenitic granite; the ore is exposed 4 feet toward the hanging wall. This vein is visible on the surface by the mineral capping being exposed east from the shaft. Dip of Veins. ( Veins Nos. i, 2, 4, 5 and 6 all dip to the north. Veins Nos. 2, 4 and 5 dip at an an- gle of 70 degrees. Veins i and 6 dip at an angle of 55 degrees. Vein 3 dips at an angle of 60 degrees to the south. The dip and strike of these veins is the same as the general mass of the Trail Creek district. 13 In Comparison with Other Veins. Veins Nos. 4 and 5 have the same characteristic mineral blend as the fa- mous *'Deer Pirk^' mine, with a near- ly identical massive iron capping. These veins point directly toward the "Deer Park," which is situated about 3,000 feet to the west. Veins Nos. 2, 3 and 6 have the character of ore of the "Blue Bird," which adjoins the " Hattie Brown" on the east. It is supposed by all those familiar with this vicinity that No. 3 vein is the same on which the "Blue Bird" shaft is being sunk, and this vein continues on through the "Mayflower" on the east. Formation. The formation on the " Hattie Brown" is the same as in the whole Trail Creek region, which is a diorite with gabbro in part. Gabbro is much more conducive to ore thai, diorite. This may be thejeason why the Trail Creek region yields such liberal returns on depth. 14 i Topography and Shipping Facilities. 4 I The **Hattie Brown'' is beautifully situated on the southeast slope of Deer Park Mountain, with complete drainage to all parts. As it lies to the south and southeast sun, it is one of the first to have bare ground when the snow goes off. In fact, it is lower than the town of Rossland, and within twenty minutes' walk of town. There is a good wagon road as well as a rail- road to the property — the wagon road crossing the southwest corner and the railroad passes within i,ooofeet to the east, affording excellent shipping facil- ities, being an all down grade from the mine to the railroad track. Remarks. The **riattie Brown" enjoys many superior features and advantages over the majority of mineral claims. Firstly, the great number of min- eral veins crossing the property, the 15 ■H widths of which are not known. Secondly, its nearness to town, that it can be reached and worked to ad- vantage the whole year. Thirdly, its excellent transportation facilities. Fourthly, with a stream of water crossing the southwest corner, afford- ing an abundance for all purposes. Opinion. It is my opinion that within the lines of the *' Hattie Brown" depth will yield in several places vast quan- tities of valuable ore. Respectfully yours, E. W. LlLJEGRAN, M. E. Investigation Asked. Intending investors are invited to make the closest inquiry as to this property as well as to the standing and character of the directorate. This is put forth as a thoroughly legitimate mining venture and the most scrupu- lous regard will be had for the interest of every subscriber. 16 t t
