four weeks at their mining properties,
the Penn-Dixie and the Dixie Chief, in
Dixie district. This was Mr.. Gayton's S
first visit to the mines, and he said:
During the past month 1 have made
examinations of the property Of the
Penn-Dixie Gold Mining company at
Dixie, and / am much pleased with af-
fairs in that busy mining camp. ] was
not only pleased, but amazed at the op-
portunities offered in safe and legiti-
mate investment in Elk-Dixie mining
districts. The splendid showing made
by mill returns, assays, tunnel and
shaft development absolutely guarantee
that the right kind of ore is here and
plenty Of it. The district is well timb-
cred and watered, making ideal condi-
tions for working the mines on a large
and economical basis. "
Mr.. Gayton said he will return next
summer, and in the meantime he will
help to complete arrangements for the
construction Of a l0-stamp mill on The
Penn-Dixie property.
