Tho Planet Gravel Mining Cumpany is vow duly organized and incorporated, and work commenced. The cluim is located in the rich gravel .region of Lowell Hill, six miles from Little York, in Nevadu county. This cl»im has been prospected by the Fowler boys, and thé gold dep sit discovered through » tunnel which was found to be too high for profit.ble use. They have deeded 229 acres of this rich claim to the Trustees of the company, who tiave divided the ~ stock,’ 50,000 sbares, 20,000 of which they propose to sell at fifty éenta each, to raise the sum of $10,000, for the purpose of runuing a tunnel into the centre of the claim, and place it in a’ dividend paying condition, In order to make the sharvs obtainable by persons of limited means, the trusiees have resolved to offer the following facilities to purchasers: ‘Ten cents of the price of each share -ig to be paid at once, and five cen s per share at the end of exch suc ceeding thirty dxys until fifty. cents per share shall be paid, when the stock thus paid for shall be issued to the purchaser, But in case the claim is put on a dividend paying babis before the whule price of each share is fequired, the unpaid part of the price of the shares will not be called for, but equnl dividends be awarded to all sbareholders, and it is now confidently believed by those beat acquainted with the condition of the claim that five instead of ten thousand dollars. will be enough to placethe claim in a paying condition, in which case the spares would cost the purchaser only twenty-five instead of fifty ceats, This cliim has not only been explored ‘by the Fowler boys as above stated, but is situated exactly 6, posite. and ‘below the “Swamp Angel," a gravel lodahen of immense wealth, aud paying rich at this time, All the circumstances considered, this enterprise presenta extraordinary inducements to purchasers of stock aud better assurances of success than most ‘enterprises of the kind.
