mens of their wages by the company. The
COMPANY, We are told, IS now some three
months behind with their pay. The
workmen gave warning of what they
would do some time ago, but the company
took no steps towards paying them. Just
before work was stopped some splendid
looking rock was struck in drift run
Ming west from the shaft, at the depth of
$50 teet, and the indications are that
little more work would deveiope deposit
of rich ore. We would like to see the
company pay its workmen their just dues,
and set them IT work again. They will
not recommence work again until they
are paid, nor could they reasonably be re-
quired to do so. The company's hoisting
works are all in good running order, and
it is L loosing speculation for its owners
10 lei the claim lie idle, especially when
the prospects Of getting at good pay rock
with little expense IS so promising.
