PROFESSOR PRoUT HAS BEST OF WORDS FOR GRAHAM COUN-
 TY PROPERTY.

The report of Professor John w. Prout, the eminent mining geologist, on the Fumarole mine of the National Min. ing Exploration company in Graham county, has just reached the hands of the stockholders. It is a very hatler- ing statement emanating from the high est authority, and reflects credit or the management, especially on Genoral Manager F. A. Woodward, who has the work in hand.
 Mir. Prout in the report states that metallic values encountered on the 800 foot level and in the shaft from tl'at level downwards, and also in the 700 foot crosscut for distance of l50 feet, show an immense tonnage of conner cial values that can be recovered Dy tho cyanide of potassium treatment.
 Full payment has been made for the Fumarole mine to the original owners, so that the mine is now entirely the property of the stockholders f the company, and the company still has in the treasury more than quarter of a million shares of it's own stock, and the financial statement shows that it is in very good condition.
 Professor Prout closes his .epo,t with the statement that the development work under the management Of MT. Woodward and Mine Superintendent F. k. Young has been carried on in q very skillful manner entirely satisfactory to himself.
