Address, DEWEY & Co., Mining and Scientific Press Office, Sau Francisco 2 00 5 50 Advantages to Patrons of Our Agency. Some of the ndyantages to he obtained by patronizing us nity be enumerated as follows: L Inventors on this coast having their applications for pntents mnde out through our agency, ean sign their papers at once, and thus sceure their rights nt least three months sooner thau by trusting the snine to distaat agencies, situated at New York or Washington. 2, As many of the inventions conecived here are especially ndapted to the Paeific coast, they should be properly brought out here, whieh can he accomplished (if the invention is a meritorious one) hy illustrating tho anliject, with a careful de-. seription, in the columns of tho Minixe ano Sci-. envTIFIC Press, free of charge; the inventor paying simply for the engraving, which will be exeeuted ata moderate charge. The same euts ean be subsequently used for books, letters or cireulars. Ina ae we are deterniined to muke it of deeided interest for every inventor on this eoast to patronize home talent and enterprise. 3. Most inventions on this coast are for objects and purposes but little understood by parties at Washington or other parts of the Mast. Our mining machinery, processes and operations aro best understood by those familiar with their use; and a personal verbal explanation is oftentimes of important service, and enables us to be more sucecssful than agents generally. 4. Remittances of money made by individual inventors to the Government sometimes misearry, and it has frequently happened that applicants have not only lost their money, but their inventions also, from this cause and coasequent delay. We hold ourselves responsible for all fees en trnsted to our ageney. By sending duplicate correspondence to our Washington agent we avoid hazardous delays. Saving of Time. In urgent eases for an immediate patent, persons can deposit the amount of the last fees with us, ia San Franeiseo, and have our Washington agent procure the issue of the papers as soon as granted, saving the two or three months time which would otherwise be required for the inventor to reccive notice and thea forward the money. Money advaacees for this purpose will be returned, shoul the application be rejeeted. By adopting this course, we are enabled, with our other advantages, to seeure the receipt of patent papers to inventors on this Coast, at least four or five months sooner than can be done through agents in the Kast, without the applicant going to the hazardous expense of sending on the last fee before it is known whether the patent will be granted. Foreign Patents. In addition to American patents we seeure, with the assistance of co-operative agents, claims in all foreign countries which grant patents, including Great Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Prussia, Austria, Russia, Spain, British India, Saxony, Hanover, Sardinia, Norway, Sweden, Austratia, Mexico, Victoria, V. L Mauy valuatle and important inventions of Americans are heing yearly surreptitously patented in foreign countrics, some of which governments ullow it, thus debarring those who have valuable inventions from their righis. Patents obtained in England, France and Belgium will secure the rights of an inventor among many millions of the most enlightened people oa the globe; it is therefore very important, if the iuvention is valuable, to secure foreign patents. Onur schedule prices for obtaining foreign patents, in all cases, will be as low, or ower, than those of any other agency. Mining Notices. Bunker Fill Quartz Mining Company. Loca. .

Address, DEWEY & Co., Mining and Scientific Press Office, Sau Francisco 2 00 5 50 Advantages to Patrons of Our Agency. Some of the ndyantages to he obtained by patronizing us nity be enumerated as follows: L Inventors on this coast having their applications for pntents mnde out through our agency, ean sign their papers at once, and thus sceure their rights nt least three months sooner thau by trusting the snine to distaat agencies, situated at New York or Washington. 2, As many of the inventions conecived here are especially ndapted to the Paeific coast, they should be properly brought out here, whieh can he accomplished (if the invention is a meritorious one) hy illustrating tho anliject, with a careful de-. seription, in the columns of tho Minixe ano Sci-. envTIFIC Press, free of charge; the inventor paying simply for the engraving, which will be exeeuted ata moderate charge. The same euts ean be subsequently used for books, letters or cireulars. Ina ae we are deterniined to muke it of deeided interest for every inventor on this eoast to patronize home talent and enterprise. 3. Most inventions on this coast are for objects and purposes but little understood by parties at Washington or other parts of the Mast. Our mining machinery, processes and operations aro best understood by those familiar with their use; and a personal verbal explanation is oftentimes of important service, and enables us to be more sucecssful than agents generally. 4. Remittances of money made by individual inventors to the Government sometimes misearry, and it has frequently happened that applicants have not only lost their money, but their inventions also, from this cause and coasequent delay. We hold ourselves responsible for all fees en trnsted to our ageney. By sending duplicate correspondence to our Washington agent we avoid hazardous delays. Saving of Time. In urgent eases for an immediate patent, persons can deposit the amount of the last fees with us, ia San Franeiseo, and have our Washington agent procure the issue of the papers as soon as granted, saving the two or three months time which would otherwise be required for the inventor to reccive notice and thea forward the money. Money advaacees for this purpose will be returned, shoul the application be rejeeted. By adopting this course, we are enabled, with our other advantages, to seeure the receipt of patent papers to inventors on this Coast, at least four or five months sooner than can be done through agents in the Kast, without the applicant going to the hazardous expense of sending on the last fee before it is known whether the patent will be granted. Foreign Patents. In addition to American patents we seeure, with the assistance of co-operative agents, claims in all foreign countries which grant patents, including Great Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Prussia, Austria, Russia, Spain, British India, Saxony, Hanover, Sardinia, Norway, Sweden, Austratia, Mexico, Victoria, V. L Mauy valuatle and important inventions of Americans are heing yearly surreptitously patented in foreign countrics, some of which governments ullow it, thus debarring those who have valuable inventions from their righis. Patents obtained in England, France and Belgium will secure the rights of an inventor among many millions of the most enlightened people oa

the globe; it is therefore very important, if the iuvention is valuable, to secure foreign patents. Onur schedule prices for obtaining foreign patents, in all cases, will be as low, or ower, than those of any other agency. Mining Notices. Bunker Fill Quartz Mining Company. Loca. .
