since my last Letter TO the LEADER
the snow has almost entirely disap-
peared at Teller; the streets are getting
dry and all are preparing for the spring
boom. Strangers r coming in large
numbers already. and each day adds
strange faces to the list Of old residents.
Monday, the I'd inst, was the day for
the meeting Of the stock owners in the
North Park q Vandalia mining and
smelling company, and a good repre-
s~entation of the monied interests were
present. The majority of the stock
owners arrived on Friday and spent
Saturday and Sunday in looking oye
the several mines belonging to the,
company. Assays We're made from tie
company's mines and also from the
Gaslight, New Eldorado, Annie and
Enderville, and the results convinced
all Of the permanent wealth of Nhe
camp. while some became so thoroughly
enthused with the mining fever that
they expressed themselves willing to
advance 800, 900 to develop the mines
belonging to the Vandalia. They ex-
pressed the desire, however, that they
have a better representation on the
board OF directors. in view of the fact
that 50 much money was to be invested.
This proposition was readily assented
to. and four new members of the
board Of directors were elected to
take the places Of that number re-
signed. The following gentlemen now
compose the new board: DR.. Geo. W.
Bassett, John G. Ish, ]. W. Everhardt,
L. E. Montgomery, J.. W. Wham,
Frederick Reymon and Chas. Smith.
On the organization of. the new
board Of directors they ~prodeeded at
once to elect a general superintendent,
a superintendent of mines. treasurer
and secretary. Mr.. l.. A. Holcomb
was reelected for the position of gen.
eral superintendent. Mr.. John LeFever
was reelected superintendent Of mines,
Mr.. Otto Gramm treasurer and Hon.
NJ. q. Jahren secretary.
The names of the officers and direc-
tors of this company, as above certainly
give a guarantee of good faith to the
mining enterprises of the Vandalia.
No better trustworthy men could be
selected. and 1t Is safe to say that
hereafter the best interests of the COM
pany will be most studiously guarded.
The directors of this company have
now plenty Of capital to push things
right ahead, and the mining superin-
tendent, Mr.. John LaFever, was or
dered to let contracts at once on ten
mines and push the matter of develop
ing all the mines belonging to the COM
pany at the earliest moment. The
directors want no further delays, and
assert with proof that they nov have
ample funds wherewith to develop every
mine owned by the company.
The company has ordered the con-
tract to be let for the building of an
Office. etc., for the company's use, fifty
feet by twenty feet, and two stories
high.
The city of Teller sold 1850 worth of
lots last Tuesday.
The election held here on the ed
ult., on the question of incorporation of
Teller, favored incorporation by a
majority of fifty-two votes. The cleo
tion for city officers will take place on
Tuesday, 18th inst. The incorporation
will then be fully completed.
Persons arriving here from Cheyenne
report the road entirely free from snow
across the Medicine Bow divide, and
aside from being a little muddy, is in
fine condition from Cheyenne to Teller.
Mr.. Chas. A.. Clark will issue the
first plumber Of the Grand County
Times on Tuesday next. Mr.. Clark
has met with very liberal support since
he came here, and his newspaper ven
ture bears every promise of success.
