I WITHIN THE REACH OF EVERYONE I
FOR A SHORT TIME ONLY.
EL PASO DAILY HEKALD THURSDAY. AUGUST 9 1900
The Public have ai opportunity to purchase shares at 25 cent
to tbe largest Lead and Silver mine la the Southwest. A
mine that will pay large dividends from the starting of its
plant. We have all the mineral in sight that we can work In
a lifetime. No one has disputed this fact no one can dispute
it.
Everyone who has examined it pronounoes it a mammoth mice
of wonderful possibilities. For a short time only will the
public have a chance to get these shares at any price. When
tbe treasury shares are exhaustod and the Company starts its
Concentrators and begins to pay dividends the etook cannot
be bad at alL He who is undecided now will then wish he
had aoted with promptness and decision and secured stock
when the promoters were giving it away for one cent on the
dollar of its actual value.
In the two months that the Company has been developing their
property the work has resulted in discovering all the water
they need and in that time they have mined and
taken out One Thousand Tons of Concentrating Ore and un-
covered 16 feet of shipping ore which runs from 50 to 60 per
cent Lead. This showing certainly proves all that has been
written or said about tbe property.
Parties Who fall to take advantage of this sale of treasury stock
of tbe New Mexican Lead Company will surely miss the op-
portunity of a lifetime.
Don't wait expecting a canvasser to call on you for we have no
agents. You must go to the office or write for prospeotus to
C. B. James & Co. No. 14 Bronson Block El Paso Texas.
Parties at a distance oan send their orders by mail or express
or through any bank.
FOR REFERENCES SEE PROSPECTUS.
Any parties who contemplate purchasing a large number of
shares will have their expenses paid to and from the mine if
they do not find every statement in the prospectus substan-
tiated by their own investigation.
For those of small means there never was a better opportunity to
better their conditions.
A FEW BRIEF ILLUSTRATIONS.
People who do net take the time to inquire into the results of
small investments in large mining properties sometimes will
say: "What's the use of buying a thousand shares in a mil-
lion dollar company? It don't amount to anything." To such
we give a few examples out of hundreds of companies that to
own one thousand shares of their stock would mean a sure in-
come of no small amount whioh at the beginning of their sale
of treasury stock one could have bonght at a very moderate
sum. Such is the history of good mines under experienced
and faithful management and we oan judge of the future only
by the experiences of the past.
One thousand shares of Quincy or Tamarack would Insure an in-
come of nearly $6000 per annum. The same number of shares
in Calumet & Hecla would return about 833000 annually. The
Alaska-Treadwell pays about 91500 annually on each thous-
and shares while the Homeetake of South Bakota pays $6000.
The Richard Bon mine of Nova Sootla pays 81250 on each thous-
and shares from ore that averages only about 82.50 per ton.
The New York Engineering and Mining Journal of February
17 gives a list of 236 dividend pajijg mines that to own a
thousand shares In any one of them would mean a very re-
spectable income. As a rule a company sells its first Issue of
treasury shases at a very lowprioe twenty-five oents per share
would be a high estimate of tbe average so if one estimates
from a basis of first cost he is receiving all the way from 200
to 500 per cent on his aotual cash Investment. For example
the Le Koi stock was sold for about five cents per share when
the mine first started; this stock Ib now quoted in London at
825. Isabella of Cripple Creek Bold as low as three oents per
share originally; it is now worth 81.28 thatis to say. one could
have bought one thousand shares for 830 which are now worth
81230. Tbe buying of treasury shares when they are being
sold at discount by a good reliable company owning a prom-
ising property is both profitable and legitimate. There are
few avenues of trade that offer safer investments and certain-
ly none more profitable.
We consider the properties of the New Mexican Lead Company
equal in promise to any of those above oited and we take
pleasure in calling your attention to the sale of the second
100000 shares of their treasury stock which has just been
plaoed on the market at twenty-five oents per share.
Following is our engineer's estimate on the profits the company
will derive from worklrg the mines with a concentrating
p.'ant concentrating six tons into one:
A concentrating plant with a capacity of 100 tons every 24 hours
would produce in concentrates 16 2-3 tons dally which would
average 70 per cent lead per ton arfd 60 ounces of silver. The
value of tbe day's product would be as follows:
16 2-3 tons of concentrates at 70 per cent
lead or 23332 pounds of lerd at 84.25 per
100 pounds would bring 8 991 61
One thousand ounces of silver at say 55
cents per ounoe 550 00
Thus giving a gross value for each day's 8154161
work of
The cost of mining and concentrating 100
tons of ore would be 8150 00
Tbe freight to smelter would be 150 00 300 00
The daily net profits would be 8 1.211 61
The cet monthly profits would be . 37248 30
Or about 3 3-4 per cent a month dividend upon the capital
stock of the company. : ;
Flattering as it is tbe above statement is still underestimated as
the development work in the mine 6hows a large percentage
of ore that will average 35 per cent lead whioh would at
the very highest estlmate.only conoentrate two and one-fourth
tons into one. This would increase the daily output of con-
centrates and a corresponding increase in the daily profits.

The echool board met last night in
adjourned session all the member and
Superintendent Putnam begin present.
Tbe internal committee composed of
Dr .Wright and Mr Martis made its
report upon proposed changes in the
bylaws. The report caused extended
discussion but final action upon It was
laid over under the rules for ooe
month.
Dr Gallagher's motion to amend the
bylaws to that nominations for taaoh-
ero' positions should be before the
board at least one week before their
election called forth a geceral inter-
change of opinion which at time grew
quite animaud. The general proce
dure oi electing te&cners was gone
over Dr Gallagher holding that under
present arrangements the internal
committee praotioally determines what
teacher shall be elected and the full
board while nominally respomible for
the appointments ha not enough time
tocro Into tbe matter intelligently.
Mr. Pew said that the superinten-
dent's wishes should as a rule ba the
guiding principle in making appoint-
ments. Dr. Gllagher Intimated tbat
poltl al pull had more to do with the
laelion of teaohera than it ehould
have. Mr. Martin of the internal
committee replied with some
warmth that eo far as he was concerned
questions of politics never entered into
tbe natter in the slightest degree.
Mr Morehead remarked tbat after
all a majority of tbe board must rule
and that there wa nothing to prevent
the turning down of all the recommen-
dations of tbe internal oommittee if
tbe majority should desire It. Messrs.
Martin and Wrlgbt held that to make
a formal announcement of tbe commit-
tee's nominations a week before elec-
tion would simply result in great an-
noyance during the interim to tbe
members of the board.
To meet this objection Dr Gallagher
suggested tbat the report be made in
executive session. Mr Mure heal ex-
plained tbat under present arrange-
ments the liet of applicants and tbeir
credentials were open to the inspection
of air member of the board at any
time for several weeks prior to acting
upon tbem.
When a vote was finally taken upon
Dr. Gallagher's proposition Messrs.
Merehead Pew Wright and Martin
voted against Dr. Gallagher Mr. Shsl-
tea and Mr. Williams and the motion
was lest.
Dr. Gallagher's amendment to the
bylaws designed to prevent the tempo-
rary suspension of any rule waa car-
ried. Dr. Gallabger's proposed amend-
ment to the olauao stating the qualifi-
cations of teachers which provided
tbat ne person should be employed as
a teacher la the schools unless he oould
pass a satisfactory examinatioa at least
equal to that required for graduation
from the high school was pasted over.
It balog neoessary to get the new by
laws into the hands of the printer at
nee it waa agreed that tbe report of
the coanmitee should be-given to the
printer witbout prejudloe to sabso
quent aotion by the board under the
rules. By this informal action the
matter of raising the kindergarten age
aad school age one year proposed
some time ago may be considered as
having been settled although final
action will not be taken until tbe next
monthly meeting.
The superintendent then stated what
he would like to Include in bis annual
report. The report wilt be much more
elaborate than uaual and will ooataln
a large amount of valuable statistics
and information about the sohools tbat
has hitherto been diffloult to obtain.
The whole matter of printing includ-
ing the report and the necessary blank
forms was referred to the external oom-
mittee whioh Is composed of Br
Gallagher and Mr. Pew.
The superintendent was authorized
to buy auppllea and apparatus for the
chemical physical and pbyelologioal
laboratories to an amount uot to exceed
$229 (Profeapr Reynolds's estimate.)
Tbe external committee was charged
with the prosecution of necessary re-
pairs in the buildings and about the
grounds of the various schools.
Answering certain quetloos sub-
mitted by Dr. Gallagher some time ago
Professor Putnam atated that in his
opinion the primary teachers whose
sohools are now dismissed tome time
before the higher grades should be
utilized during the extra time to re-
lieve the prlooipals of the various
buildings so as to give them time to
visit during sobool hours tbe rooms
under tbelr charge. The board hearti-
ly approved of this.
Superintendent Putnam atated that
in providing for the coming sohool
year he was figuring on fifty pupil to
each teacher in tbe primary grades. It
was the sense of the board that no
teacher could do justice to thia
number of email children and the neces-
sity of providing more teachers was
admitted. Io connection with this how-
ever there comes up tbe matter of
providing more room Every sobool
room was filled last year aod it has not
yet been determined how to provide
for the natural increase of the coming
sohool year.
It waa announced that tbe schools
would reopen September third three
weeks from next Monday.
The matter of toe sohool census
about which there is some dispute
with the state superintendent wa
discussed at length. Strong resolutions
were adopted and President Morehead
was authorised to telegraph to the
state superintendent stating tbe posi-
tion of the board.
The board then adjourned.
