<br />by the prospector, and it was not autil the discovery of ore in the Hoosier, early in 1899, that
<br />the possibilities of this section were demonstrated. The production of the Hoosier cannot be

<br />lessees. The discovery of ore in the Hoosier gave new impetus to the development of this portion of
<br />the district; and since that time prospecting has been carried on vigorously, but the work has been done
<br />largely by lessees, and no considerable depth has been attained in any of these new workings, but
<br />even with the superficial work done, a number of good discoveries of ore have been made,st:rongly

<br />The Tenderfoot I3i11 Consolidated Yining Company with its treasury reserve of 550,000.00,
<br />is the only company which has ever gone about the esploitiug of this locality with sufficient funds

<br />PLAN OF OPERATION.
<br />A thorough expert examination has been made of the properties of this Company by illr.
<br />George J. Bancroft, `i. E., of Denver, Colo., and his report thereon will be found in this pros-
<br />pectus. .Guided by this report, one and possibly two, shafts will be sunk on these claims, in those
<br />portions thereof giving greatest promise of ore, the intention being to carry same down to a depth
<br />of from 400 to 600 feet, from which point a comprehensive and thorough system of development
<br />work will be inaugurated. EXPERT'S REPORT.
<br />The following is a complete copy of blr. Bancroft's report upmr the Alta Mont mid Dead-
<br />wood groups:

<br />THE ALTA 1VIONT AND DEADWOOD GROUPS,

<br />CLAIMS. -
<br />F
<br />There. are two sepnrate ;;roues upon which I am asked to report with a view to optrnting both
<br />groups under one management, viz: the Alta bloat group and tho Deadwood group.
<br />There are four claims iu the Deadwood group, iu process of patenting, and for which the receiver's
<br />receipt is at hand, named respectively Deadwood No. 1, Deadwood No. 2, Dendwood No. 3 and Dead-
<br />wood No. 4. Their arrangement with reference to each other and to surrounding claims, and also the
<br />ground excluded in patenting, is shown ou the mnp nttached. This group secures 23.237 acres of
<br />ground: .(See the legal opinion on page 70.)
