Subsidiary Companies and Leases.

THE large amount of ground owned by
the company makes it impossible, with
our present command of funds, to de-
velop the various claims as they should
be, and l am of the opinion that we can
we'll afford to divide the claims into three
groups and organize two new companies,
selling to each of these new companies
group of claims for 81 per cent of the
stock of each, the remaining 40 per cent
of the stock of each new company to be
sold to obtain money for development
purposes. Thus the Inlay company would
be the holding company and would retain
control of each of the new companies and
would share in the profits of the new
companies.
II am also in favor of giving leases to
miners upon the terms and conditions
prevalent in Nevada. And, in this con-
nectiOn, / endorse the recommendations
of our superintendent with regard to a
toWnsite. and trust that these matters
will be taken up by the new directors at
an carly daV.

Milling Ore and a Mill.

From the superintendent report it
VIII be observed that there is in the in
cline dump at least 1900 tons of milling
ore of the value of $4,000, and that there
are thousands of tons blocked out in the
mine. 1t is therefore to be conceded that
al some future time the company will
find it profitable to erect a mill and
concentrate this ore so that it can be
shipped with profit. The need of mill
will become more imperative if the direc-
tors conclude to develop some of the va
riOuS claims under the Nevada system OF
leasing. For there is no doubt but that
leasers could readily open large bodies of
milling ore near the surface, at several
different point and, if there was a mill
on the ground, that ore could be treated
with profit to the leasers and to the
company. l do not favor burdening the
stockholders with the expense of mill
until after the matter has been given the
most careful consideration from all view
points, and surely not until if can be
demonstrated that profit will speedily
flow from the investment. In the mean
time. however, the directors should be
investigating this matter and they should
obtain all the information possible.
