c. 1903. Prospectus for The Gold King Basin Milling and Mining Company. Seven pages plus fold-out black-and-white photograph showing company properties. Measures approx. 6” x 8 ½.” Brown covers. Printed by Potter Journal, Coudersport,PA. Prospectus starts with an interesting question: “Is this another mining swindle? Of course, we say no.” They confidently state, “we have the stuff.” The company has five mining claims comprising fifty acres and a mill site comprising five acres. Prospectus has a playful tone, with lots of questions and answers. Ends with a good summary of the mining industry: “Mother Earth denies some; others she makes immensely rich. If you are inclined to take a chance with us in our game with her, you may lose what you put in, you may win a fortune.” Condition: deep vertical fold through center of prospectus. Most pages heavily toned. Tears and missing pieces from covers.
