chased and shipped to camp and. by to-

who slipped out from Boston few days
ago and returned to Salt Lake with Man
ager A. D. Moffat Friday night.
1T is nearly three months since l was
last at the property and, while ! con-
sidered that the mine was looking flne
at that time. and while good reports have
been coming TO us since then am tree

the sight that greeted me on the 800 level
upon my arrival at the mine this time.
said Mr.. Dick yesterday Il could hardly
believe my senses, For long distance
IN q northeTly direction Mr. Moffat mas
opened up a magnificent body of ore. At
one place a raise is being made IN 1t,
While in the opposite direction, to the
south Of where quite a stope was worked
out q long time ago, he has again opened
I'D the ore and is now driving IN mass

Cated. While he has refrained from tax

Will begin mining ii now and pile It up

Mr.. Dick reached camp just at a time
when the old hosting plant was being
reple ced by the heavier one that had been
moved from another of the company :
properties. so he was compelled TO climb
down the shaft to ses what the mine
looked like. He declared yesterday that
he would never complain if he were treat
cd the same way every time he came to
Utah. When Mr.. Moffat was made man
ager of the property he was told to go
ahead and do things just as he would n
he personally owned the mine. For that
reason. when ne decided a heavier hoist
and q compressor were needed At the
property TO get quick results, he SIMPLY
went to work to install what was needed.
lie knew nothing of the coming of the
president of the company, and the pres

that he had a man at the mine VINO was
doing things and he proceeded so take ac-
tion that would make sailing still easier
for him and at the same time insure the
Development of the HarTington-Hickory
mine at still greater depth
Il am taking back with me, said Mr..
Dick "a contract with the Beaver Power

electrical energy. This will be submitted

President DICK saw enough OF this visit
10 leave no doubt in his mind that the
HarrsngtOn-tiiCEc ~ was a big and ricn
mine and he declared with emphasis that.
while Manager NOffats reports had al
ways been plain, encouraging and truth
full. they had heeE so conservative that
glance at the mine and the Sreat breasts
of sparkling ore that greeted him under
ground. made him wish that some OF his
associates could see what he did. Mr..
Dick will leave for Boston tomorrow or
next day. and when he gets home he viii
