GOLD BELT HOLDS ANNUAL ELECTION.
The Gold Belt Development & Re-
duction company held its annual
stockholders meeting Tuesday even
ing and elected the following officers:
j. Backstein, president; J. F. Cleave-
land, vice-president; j. o. Baylor,
secretary and treasurer; E. U. Beau
champ, general manager; E. John
ston, director. All of the officers
we're reelected except Mr.. Johnston,
who succeeds F. o. Bacon, who could
not spare the time required to fill
the office. Three-fourths of all is
sued stock was represented at the
meeting and there was not a dissert-
ing vote cast, which clearly illus
tratesthe satisfactory management of
the affairs of the company.
General Manager Beauchamp's re-
port to the directors shows S202, 900
worth of gold and copper ore on the
dump and blocked out. He reports
that the copper shaft is down to
depth of 265 feet with a 15O-foot
cross-cut from the 250-level. In the
crOss-cut there is now evidence of an
ore body. The objectof
this cross-cut is to cut the vein that
furnished all the copper ore shipped
during the year 1907. A recent ship
ment, averaging ITO per cent. cop
per was made, which clearly illus
trates that the former high copper
values are being maintained. When
it is considered that the company has
been operating two years, during
which time it has executed a vast
of development work on its
copper and gold claims, besides add
ing several claims to its holdings,
mourning one dollar indebt-
edness, the management has made a
most wonderful showing. Valuable
equipment has been added
to the property and various houses
built, all of which has been paid for
put of the sale of stock and actual
earnings of the company.
Secretary J. o. Baylor reports that
over 3-5 of the original treasury
stock still remains on hand. This in
itself is convincing evidence of con-
management.
The company is now negotiating
for the erection of a 50-ton gold mill,
lpon the completion of which stock
holders can look for handsome re-
turns. The gold ore is of unusual
nigh average and with the installa-
lion of mill the Gold Belt should be
4 dividend payer. Water supply is
sufficient to justify the erection of
