a business proposition, n the large and
apparent useless expenditure of money
that has been the chief Characterization

port can be made to the old country
stockholders and the necessary authori-
cation to resume work given, but when
this is done the mine will be much more
of a business enterprise than it has been
in the past. and will give employment
to a large number of people. If the re-
port is favorable as it no doubt viii be,
it will probably mean more development
| work on an extensive scale, and the
construction of a mill adequate to re-
duce the ore.

worked from the Cherry creek side.

acquiring an interest in West Fisher
property. There are now quite a umber

Reports from this district continue to be
of the most favorable character. The

Conrad Wolf1e, a mining expert from
Rossland, B. C., was in the West Fisher
