THE GREAT MONTANA-TONOPAH MINE
Officers Make Report to Stockholders Showing Mine in
Flourishing Condition

I herewith submit the joint report Of
General Managers Donald B. Gillies
and John A. Kirby, and the financial
statement Of the secretary and treas
urer. for the fiscal year ending August
81. 1905. Mr.. Gilies was elected gen
eral manager and superintendent Sep
TENDER IS, 1904, but did not take
charge of the property until October
18th, and was succeeded by Mr.. Kirby
August 1st of this year. verbal con-
tract was made for one year with Mr..
Gillies, and we not only expected to
have the benefit Of his able manage
ment until October 18th of this year,
but hoped to have him with us for sew
eral years; however, he announced his
intention to leave us May 18th, but by
the individual and united efforts Of
nearly every member of the Board, he
was persuaded to defer his final decision,
or announcement, until June 28th, at
which time he asked to be released July
LIST. When the dividend was declared
July list, he consented to remain until
his successor could be chosen and in
stalled.
Mr.. Gillies has rendered us good SER
vice, as shown by the following testi-
monial given by the Board on his re-
lease:
WHEREAS, Mr.. Donald B. Gillies has
rendered his resignation as general
manager and superintendent of the
Montana onopah Mining company;
now, therefore, be it resolved by the
Board of Directors of the said Montana
Tonopah Mining company, that we sin
cerely regret to lose the services Of Mr..
Gillies.
The material development of the
mining property stands as a piece of
u~nmistakable evidence of his unusual
ability as a mining engineer; he has
given entire satisfaction in every re-
spect. Mr.. Gillies sewers his connec-
tons with Montana-T onopah Of his own
will, and against the expressed wish
of this Board. However, he considers
that he is betteriRg,A mis- condition by the
move, and while we regret to lose him,
we would not stand in the way of his
advancement, and wish him unbounded
success in his new position. From what
III experience with him has taught us,
we can conscientiously congratulate
those who are so fortunate as to secure
the services of Mr.. Gillies.
