Understanding the report. When the

always came regularly. VA Q large one,
the disbursements amounting WAY up
into the tens OF thousands OF dollars. II

men az Ain 10 begin operations, for, be-
sides work 10 be done In the main shaft
and drifts, the development Of some new
drifts that were begun Just before the
