Reference Notes

1. One of the owners and developers of the mine was J. J. Prendergast of Redlands.

2. There is some information on the great Quartette mine of Searchlight, along whose vein the Cyrus Noble was located. The Quartette once had a small railroad

from the mine down to the Colorado River at Searchlight (now Cottonwood) Landing. The mill was first located beside the river, and was served by the steamboats.

3. The map shows the exact location of several other mines and mills in the area, such as the Duplex, which is still operating to some extent.

h. The booklet was printed by the Out West Printing Co. (Publisher of OUT WEST magazine? Lummis?)

Location of Claims

Undisputed veins of adjacent properties

THE property of the Cyrus Noble Mining- Company is located in Section 54, Townsliip 29 South. Range. 63 East. M. D. M.. and consists of ten claims and fractions, approximately 162 acres, of which five are patented, i. e., " CYRUS NOBLE." "CYRUS JR.." "BROWN JUG," "DIAMOND WEDGE." and "HORSESHOE." Surveyed for patent are "KING EDWARD." "DRAGON." "HERBERT." "FOUR ACES" and "GOLQEN CUP." It is bounded on the north by the Searchlight Parallel and Goodenough, and on the west by the famous Quartette and Duplex Mining Companies. ., „

THESE claims may truly be said to be the hub of the main ledges of the Quartette and Duplex mines. There is some dispute among mining men as to the general trend of the Cyrus Noble vein, but there is no difference of opinion among leading mining engineers as to the Cyrus Noble being the Quartette ledge, which has produced $1 ,500,000,00, and has 89,000,000 worth of ore blocked out,

Underground worKings

TXPLOlTJtTION IS going on at the greatest speed possible. There are now SO men working around the mine, and the main shaft, which is being enlarged to ? x 9 feet, is down 500 feet. Sinking with three shifts will not cease until the 1000-foot depth is reached. Stations will be cut every 100 feet and drifts will be run both ways. This will add materially to the 2,000 feet of workings already performed in cross-cuts, drifts and upraises, thus blocking out additionally huge bodies of excellent ore.

"This ledge, which is 50 per cent better than the Quartette was at the same depth " (according to Capt. Luxon's statement), should with greater depth far surpass this wonderful bonanza.

Values

T 1 NMISTAKABLY there can also ho traced in the Cyrus Noble (around the main vtin of the Duplex Mininp Company, which has produced :f300.000. and lias been acquired recently by 'Jnhn BrockniAn, the millionaire mine-owner. It likewise contains the Goodenough Vein, which shows free-(Told ore at the surface.

/T IS ESTIMATED on a connorvative basis, that from the main shaft Ihroiurh which the Company is to this day conducting all its devebpopment work, over -60.000 00 has been taken out. and S500.000.00 worth of ore has been blocked out. Returns of shipments to Sebby's smelter will sliow a net return <:)i S103.?2 per ton. some high (jrade streaks running as high as S 1 0.000.00 per ton. But a conservative average of the entire ledge, which is from 4 to 32 feet in width, is SSS'OO per ton. The ledge

Surface improvements

emphatically increases in size and value as depth is reached, and is freemilling. While we do not promise to find S20.00 gold pieces with depth, we do state that an excellent profit can be made, with an unlimited amount of good ore. whose cost of mining and milling is only S4.00 per ton.

/I NEW ten-stamp mill has just been completed at the cost of $15,000 C/~l being of the most modern type, and having-' everything necessary for the complete extraction of gold. Among the other buildings that give the ground an appearance of good substantial mining operation are the Manager's home, the Superintendent's home, the assay office, a well-equipped blacksmith shop, hoist house, store rooms and other such buildings as are essential for good successful mine operation.

Capable management

THE directorate assures its stockholders of proper administration of the company's funds and affairs. TKe Money Must and "Will go into Extensive Development

By this means the small stockholder can share in the dividends as well as the capitalist.

Capt. Luxon. who for three years served in the capacity of Mine Superintendent in the Quartette mine, is now in charge of the " Cyrus Noble," Chas. M. Egge. recent foreman of the Montgomery Shoshone mine, is acting in the same capacity in the "Cyrus Noble." John Bowden, the mill man. has been employed for 14 years in the famous Utica mine in California.

With such management as this, we see nothing but successful mining operation.

Valuation

THE Cyrus Noble owns 162 acres, most of which are adjacent to the Quartette, with the Quartette ledge to work on. and the price that this famous property is selling at to-day. the Cyrus Noble should rise above par, i. e., $1 00. in the very near future. The Quartette property carries a valuation of SI 5.000.000. the stock soiling strong at S15 per share: and there is no question but that it is worth intrinsically much more than that figure. Therefore, with these Focts in view, also that the Cyrus Noble has produced $60,000, and has $500,000 worth of ore blocked out. this property will bear watching. If you have already done so. you will find every stateinent made by us correct, for we have not taken into consideration the increased facilities for transportation by railroad in the very near future, this being another assured Fact.

Our Prediction

rmS property was thoroughly examined by our own engineer before being put on the market. Upon his enthusiastic report we secured a limited numberof shares of treasury stock (100,000), the proceeds of these to be put into the ground. We are sufficiently impressed with 'the possibilities of this property to invest our o'wn money in it, and have secured the only treasury stock on the market. We can conscientiously recommend this as an exceptional investment, either to hold permanently or for a rapid advance in price. We want to make money for you, and give you the benefit of our judgment, as that is the only way to hold you as one of our I financial clients ; for we want your patronage, not only to-day, but to-mor-

row next year, and continue so long as we ' make good." We are not selling you a prospectus, as is very often the case, but say to you. Investigate it tKoroughly, for we are confident that you will then join us.

"W e h n o -w what this stock is going to do. and know emphatically when -we predict a dividend not later than July. 1906, or possibly earlier.

Therefore, wire us for a block of this slock, and it will make you our client and friend.

Geology

//fueoloRy of the district is identical with that of Comstock, Tonopah J. and Goldfield. all being on the same Andesitic formation, commonly

known as hrecciated or " lode porphyry." That the mines are permanent

and the ledges improve in values and size has been proven by actual work

by such mines as the Quartette, which is I 000 feet deep.

Prospector’s Notes

Context and takeaways added by the Mountain Man Mining team to help you use this document.

  • This is a stock-promotion booklet, a genre common in early-1900s Nevada mining booms; such documents were sales tools and their optimistic claims should be read critically, not as verified production.
  • The Searchlight district was an active gold camp in the early twentieth century, and booklets like this preserve otherwise-lost detail on shaft development, ownership, and neighboring properties.
  • Promotional descriptions of ore at depth never indicate present-day availability; anyone researching the site should confirm modern land status and claim records with the BLM.
