The Los Angeles chamber of mines
has decided upon plan relating to
investigation and reports on mining
properties. and this embraces the di-
vision OF mines into two general

The other class will consist of mining
prospects upon which il is desired to
have the report of the chamber after
investigation.
FEE FOR REGISTRATION
The registration fee for the first
class will be $50, and for the second
class s25, with the provision that
more detailed examination will be
made at a subsequent time upon the
