One of the bis sales of mining
stock of the past month was made

A block of 5000 shares of stock
costing $4,000 in cash or 25 cents
per share, was sold to David Kane,
the well known owner of the Pacific
saloon. Mr.. Kane gave his check for
$4,000 to DR.. Edward # Eldridge. of
the company.
About two weeks Mr.. Kane. in
company with Mr.. George Porter, a
well known Rio Grande engineer who
has been running on the narrow
guage for many years took a trip to
the mine. Mr. Porter has been In
vestlng in stock for some time past
and he desired Mr.. Kane to make the
trip to investigate for himself the
prospects of the mine. So fully con-
vinced was Mr.. Kane that the mine
has a wonderful future that without
saying anything to anyone this morn
ing he went to the office of the COM
pany and purchased the big block of
stock.
Extensive machinery for the de-
velopment OF the mine will be Install
ed this summer and active work prose
