Grade Oxide COpper--Sulphde
Ore Coming In.

The directors Of the skyiark Copper
company, which corporation owns a
group OF valuable mining claims N
Beaver county, have levied an assess
ment OF cent a share and which be-
comes delinquent on March A.
Accompanying the notice to share
holders Is the following statement from
President A. j. McMullen. bearing on
physical ana financial conditions.

In April. 1904, work has been carried on
AT the company's property continuously
with the exception of about I'VE months
The east drift along the contact was
continued $50 feet % a point under the

that time, II being hot weather on ac-
count OF the bad afr. The workings now
having been connected, we VIII be en-
abled TO sink at least 200 feet farther
with good air. and as we have q strong
body OF ore at the end OF the drift under
the old work II Is advisable TO later
continue sinking at that point, using tie
old shaft TO hoist through. Drifts can
be run along the contact when adYls-
able. All conditions at this point lndl-

Some had conceived the idea from
rather highly-colored newspaper reports
that we already had mine This IS mol
the case, and | therefore decided on
having the examination and rep'Gt

most able and conservative engineers IN
Tits region and who Is himself operat-
