of sulphides. carrying good values, which
are now going to waste. If some means

Correspondence has already been opened
with several parties in reference to tests
on the ores and it is thought that means
of saving the sulphides will soon be
found. The malicious assertion made

directors and to Mr.. Krigbaum. When a
foreman is chosen he will be q thoroughly
competent man in every respect, and Of
large experience in gold mining, and be
satisfactory to both the directors and
stockholders. Such assertions. especially
when maliciously made. are caluculated
to do much harm, especially when
company is just beginning operations and
desires to secure the confidence of i'll
veStors.
