 The many speculations as to the
 mysterious buying of Shannon. the
 future policy and the control of the ] company, were set at rest Monday
 last at the annual meeting of stock. ] holders held in Boston. which. con-
 trary to all expectations. proved most harmonious and resulted in the elimination of the disturbing element. which for some years has been the ! great drawback to the success of the company.

 lt will be seen from The foregoing +o Inexperienced copper men, who have not entered this field through d mere accident or by chance, but have come into it after thorough investi- ,gation of the properties of the com pdny. and future possibilities of the district. The introduction of strong copper element into this company, will not only broaden its future policy, but greatly strength ems its position as producer, and in the financial world q, well. 1t is only reasonable to expect with infu- sion of thi, new blood, d policy of vigorous development and improve ment.
 The opening of rew ore bodies in the mine. aud the recent advance in the price of copper, have placed the new board in d position to take ad vantage of the many possibilities with which this district abDunds.
 Under the presidency of Mir. Gill. and the management of Mir. Bonnie, coupled with the assistance and eX- perience of this board. the success of this company has passed the period ot uncertainty. Another point of cOngratulation to the new board is the fact of being able to retain the services of General Manager Bonnie. to whose efforts and knowledge of mining and smcltin@ has resulted in placing the Shannon on the high road to prosperity. as it is under stood that Mir. Bonnie. on hearing the result of the meeting. formerly declined the splendid offer made by | large Mexican smeltin% company.
 The announcement of the per 'Onnal of the new board was received by the Clifton shareholders and the public generally with strong express 'ionS of confidence.
 There has never been q time in | he history of the mine when there | 'as as much good ore in sight as at | he present day notwithstanding the 1 act that for many months past here has been steady output of 'e tons .lr>, 4cre reGdda Gday which wa, lately
 It is now confidently expected that he many improvements needed at : ttI5. mine and SmeItcr will soon be ,adc. and that substantial buildings ill take the place of the dreary ooking tents which have long since ,assed the limit of their usefulness. The shannon company has come to tav. and can afford to house its em- doves as we'll as any other company n the district. With additional inn and equipment and with | he acquisition of further producing ,ronertieS the securities or the shan | ,on would soon reach q high value.
