just about got what we have been
looking for. Uninterested mining

feet to go until we tap the lead in
our lower tunnel which certainly
sounds encouraging to US. We
have up to the present time sold
no stock to outside parties. Officers
in the company and a few of our
own people having bought all we
have had for sale. And now since
the property is showing up so we'll
l feel sure that the necessary funds
to run this tunnel through will be
very easily COTTON. For the pur-
pose of doing this work we are 90.

q large block, at such figures az
