PRESIDENT DEwEY's REPORT.
To the Stockholders of the Adams
Hill Mining Company Gentlemen:
The report of the Superintendent of
your mines herewith submitted, gives
a very full and complete history of his
operations during the period they have
been under his charge, to wit: frC m
September, 1874, to date, a period OF 81
months.
The work done has been almost en-
tirely OF a prospecting character, and
though no large or continuous veins of
paying ores have been hitherto found,
we are satisfied from the character of
the ground, and its contiguity to the
bonanzas found in the Richmond and
Eureka Consolidated on our south
boundary, as well as others developed
to the north of us, that we have a very
valuable property which only requires
developing to make equal TO the best
in the district. Confident in this be-
lief l have instituted measures for Sc
curing United States patents to all the
ground belonging TO the company.
Two OF these have already been per-
fected, viz: one to our Alabama claim,
extending from the Richmond on our
south, northerly 800 feet. The other
for the Wide West and other of the
company's ground, extending north
erly from the Alabama 800 feet. hp.
plication has also been made for United
States patents to the claims known as
the General Lee, Stonewall, Webfoot,
and Ozankie, which will doubtless be
obtained within "a few months, as the
conIpany's title to all these claims is
undlsputed.
The financial report of the Secretary,
also submitted, shows a cash balance
to our credit of 1882 so.
In order to give a better understand
ing of the condition and working of
the company by the shareholders, the
Secretary has, i'm addition to his annu-
al statement, prepared an exhibit COW
ering the three last fiscal years, viz:
from May /. 1874, Il May /, 1877, en-
bracing the period OF time referred 10
in the report of the Superintendent, by
which it will be seen that the gross eX-
p~enditures of the company were but
S53 ,059 %. OF this amount the sum OF
S3l ,010 30 has been received from as
and from the sales OF ores
aud other sources S2l $50 %.
take pleasure in submitting these
reports To your consideration. and do
so with the conviction that few other
com panies can show the same amount
of development and other work done
performed with SO small an ex-
pense.
Respectfully,
3. Z. DEWEY, President.
San Francisco, May q, 1877.
In June 1873 We removed the hoist
ing machinery and engine house from
the Gen. Lee mine To the Wid West
mine. and re.erected it in the latter
mine. We also removed the boarding
and lodging houses To "A convenient
point near tie Wide West mine. The
grade from the mine t where the road
intersects the Austin aud Eureka road
has been widened and put in good
condition for teams.
inclose a detailed statement of the
work done, showing noun of work
done on the different mines.
