 ''The new company is capitalized at 10000, ,O00, and it is ready to spend 10000, 900 next spring. I expect to see actual survey work done when the snow clears in the spring, and construction work started when the frost is out of the ground. At the mines there will be an immense am ount of work done in order to prepare for the coming of the road, which expect will be pushed to completion in two years, at the very least.-P.-I.
