President Campbell Talks.
"You can say that We are entirely
satisfied said Mr.. Campbell to the
Argus soon after his arrival. eve ex-
pected to find a good many changes
since our last visit and we did find
them, The new compartment shaft,
which is being sunk on the new ore
bodies, was started since we were last
out here, and good progress has been
made on it. OF course it will be some
months yet before it reaches the 1000
foot level, at which We are aiming,
but the construction has been as rapid
as could be expected"
All members of the party enjoyed
their stay at Kendall, and seemed
much pleased with the conditions pre-
vailing at the thriving little camp.
They took their time, and saw every
thing that was to be seen, and go home
in the happy frame OF mind that might
be expected from men who own a
property that pays $35O,0OO year IN
dividends, with enough ore in sight tt
keep this up for an indefnate period
or to increase the dividend whenever
| it may be deemed advisable.
