With the absolute actively engaged in and direct

quaed statement OF Senator Ed Donn that the falls Thompson
capable generating ~ 900 horse low water will be developed
and power furnished to the around Murray possible
the dream some OF The largest north side operators develop their
properties at great depth by tunnel mile and quarter long
beginning to look like reality and already managers of
the properties coneng with the object of getting their plans which
theoretically sound down practical working basis
The enomty OF this enterprise not easily gasped tunnel
feet in the clear 1000 feet long, and costing 500
project not to be lightly undertaken but when the possible results
carefully considered almost begins why
companies should find for delay and reasonable
presume that there will be difficulty in the coming to
speedy agreement the popoonae be assumed by each
making terms which will enable all to be merged into gigantic
poration owning go mineral claims which outlay
been expended in development and of which each group known be-
yond peradventure to valuable mineral deposits.
The projectors OF this enterprise not telling their plans to the
