Among the other improvements made

will be experienced no shortage OF
power during the low water season.

In all the viclssitudes of developing
and establishing paying basis for the
Annie Laurie properties. never have the
owners secured a more competent ana
better known manager than John G.
Cox. the present incumbent, who as
sumed charge last August. Mr.. Cox
was born In Wyoming I'm 1873, and
while yet body moved TO Colorado,
where he took n practical as well as
scientific course In mining. Associated
with his brother, he served in many
positions of trust under their father
who Is one Of the biggest mine Oper-
ators In the United States, Mexico.
Canada. and South Africa.
MAKES SOME IMPROVEMENTS,
Mr.. Cox has introduced a number OF
improvements that are already show
ing his ability and fitness for the posi-
ton. one OF which Is the guaging the
output of the various workings so that
a steady and uniform supply OF ore can
be sent to the mill. To this end new
upraise connecting No. tunnel with
the upper levels is being completed. An

Mr. Cox is one of those men who is
too modest to allow the News" man
4 chance to say much of his ability for
the work he has In hand and such as
was cleaned had to be learned from
those employed at the works. He alb
sOlutely refused to permit the use OF
his picture to present with this article,
and would only express his absolute
confidence in the future greatness of
the camp and the satisfaction of the
general workings of the Annie Laurie,
due" says he, to the good work of
the men associated with me over the
miners and mill men"
VIM. II. Johns of Colorado who is
serving as general superintendent, came
out with Mr.. Cox last August. and Is
A man Of exceptional ability in oper-
atng the mine with Its innumerable
requirements. Mr., Johns has had a
wide experience In the handling OF men,
and Is just the man for the important
position Of superintendent of the mines.
The mill superintendent, A. w. Rus

He has made constant study Of the
