Charles A. Palmer Chosen
President Of the Pawnee
Mine.

That the management of the
Pawnee will be in the best of hands
is acknowledged when it is known
that Charles A. Palmer, formerly
of the Lac La Belle company and
latterly of the Boston & Montana
company of Butte, Mont, has been
chosen president of the company.
The directors are Messrs. Meserve
and Devereaux, who are also direct
ors of the Quincy mining company,
and Mr.. Wyman, who is also di-
rector of the Adventure. Hayden,
Stone & Co., brokers Of Boston, have
been chosen as financial agents.
Since the launching of the Pawnee
enterprise it has been a quandary
with the Lake stockholders as to
whose hands the management would
fall into, as the success of the en-
terprise to big extent would de-
pend on the right men securing con-
troll. They were greatly relieved
Tuesday when telegram was re-
ceived that the above gentlemen
had been chosen directors. The
presence of Mr. Palmer on the board
will be invaluable, for his knowledge
of the mine of which he was at one
time superintendent when it was
known as the Lac La Belle will so
far toward making a success of the
venture. The other directors need
no introduction as they have had a
long and successful career as man
ayers Of copper mining industries.
