TIM MANI0N
Secured AS Superinten-
dent of the Flying
Dutchman Mine

Tim Maniun. the we'll known min
ing expert of Ouray, returned Sat
urday night from Utah, where for
the past month he has been super
intending work on the mine of the
Flying Dutchman Consolidated Min
ing Company. Mr.. Manion was sent
there by the company TO make a very
critical examination OF the mine. for
the purposes Of the company. His
return and report have been very
gratifying to the stockholders
At an adjourned meeting Satur-
day night OF the board of directors
of the company, MI Manion's ser
vices were engaged for an indefinite
period to take the superintendency
of the mine. Mr.. Manion believes
there is the making of a big mine
from the Flying Dutchman property.
He will not only take over the man
agement of the mine. but will in
vest considerable money in the prop
erty. This fact alone shows the faith
of Mr.. Manion. who has superintend-
ed some of the best paying proper
ties it, the San Juan country and
whose judgment upon the ont look of
a mine is worth much. He and his
friends will purchase a large block of
the stock.
In the course of week Mr. Man
ion and President Herman Hoesch of
the company will 20 TO Salt Lake
City and purchase some new ma
chnery necessary for the develop
ment of the mine and then return
to Eureka and begin active opera
tions for the summer.
The working of the mine will be
entirely changed under Mr.. Manion S
management. He will engage a new
force of men and viii direct opera
tions in the work according to his
own plans. MS evolved from the crit
ical examination he has just made of
the property.
When II is considered that the
property of this company is right in
the heart of the district-the Eureka
mining district-having some of the
greatest producing mines in the west.
Il gives hope to the stockholders that
the mine is right in the same belt of
some of the other great mines that
surround it. One mine alone is pro-
ducing $50 tons of ore a day within
a short distance of the Flying Dutch
man property. Mr. Manion says that
great deal of necessary develop
ment work must be intelligently done
to make the mine. However, the fact
that he is ready and anxious to in
vest his own money in the property
upon his faith that there is now the
prospect of developing a great mine,
is significant in itself and has made
the board of directors of the orpany
anxious to prosecute the work along
the lines outlined by Mr.. Manion.
Treasury stock to the amount OF
several thousand dollars will be set
aside for sale to provide the means
/ for the development worok. Only
under the promise of the board OF
directors that nothing should be at
tempted at the mine save develop
ment work, would Mr.. Manion con
slider the proposition TO take active
management of the work to be pros
ecuted.
IL is n matter of much congratula
ton to the board Of directors of the
mine that Mr. Manion has consented
to become not only interested will
/ his own money in the mine, but has
thought sufficiently well of the prop
ositian to take the superintendency
(which was unimously offered hin
Immediately he had consented to giv'
the proposition consideration. Their
are quite a few business men inter
ested in this property and many mor'
anxious to become so and this oppor
tunity will now be given. under th'
most intelligent and scientific man
.agement that this promising proper
ty has yet had.
