kee Consolidated At the close OF last
year the mine was indebted to the
May Day company TO the extent OF
$1,000, with nothing IN the treasury and
what ore had been opened up proved Ia
he outside their own territory. The
time Of the May Day difficulty was in
November, 1900 and IN the following
month DR.. i. A. II, Franklin had a
survey Of the workings made for his
own benefit, On the 18th OF December

mel In a D6-foot UP raise, well inside the
Yankee lines, ore was encountered IN
April. The striking OF this ore body
proved concuslyely the theory which
had been advanced by DR. Franklin
regarding the location Of the ore
bodies on Godlya mountain. dnrt
was again run to the southwark from
the upraise and the ore body was
again tapped on lts strike The two
strikes which were made by the Yankee
people under the management Of Mr..
Egan were both upon May Day
ground aud this had bad effect upon
the sotck Of the former company n
report was circulated to the effect that
the ore body was dipping away from
the Yankee holdings and even II they
struck the ore II would be so near their
line that II would be OF little benefit
10 them. However the Yankee Con-
soldated under the able supervision Of
Mr.. Gpenther has made an envIabe
record during the past eleven months.
During that time the company has
shipped out no less than seYenty-sIX
carloads OF good ore and II is est-
mated that almost fifty carloads more
will be sent out before the close OF
1901. Supt, Guenther stated that there
is M present enough ore In sight TO
enable the company to continue ship
ments at the rate OF two carloads
day for Mt least three years. These ore
bodies which are uncovered both above
and below the tunnel level are con"
tInually widening out and II rs pain to

changes as the year Just being COM

successful in every way. The new cot

Guenther and Manager Franklin, is
an attractive one and very roomy. ~

proVements have been added Taken
az a whole the company is In excellent
condition TO begin the new year. The
history Of this mine shows plainly what
can be accomplished In a short space
Of time under favorable circumstances
by experienced men. only one assess
ment of cents per share on the old
capitalization has been levied and with
this money and what has been realized
from the ores marketed, the YANKEES
company has discharged the $1,000 in
debtedness, payed the expenses Of run
ming and the expense of putting In the
many improvements and now has
neat sum in the treasury.
