The expected happened yester-

had levied an assessment. Advices
received by us early in the day con-
veyed the information that, at a
meeting of the directors, it had been
determined to levy an assessment of
SO cents per share, payable Decem-
Der 23rd. With tbs announcement
also came the accompanying drop in
the price of this issue, due undoubt-
eddy, to the fact that many who an
ticipated the levy discounted their
stock. Those on the inside have
been looking eor the levy a it has
been known for some time that the
company is contemplating improve
ments which could not ne made ex-
cept by means of just sucn an assess-
ment. The size of the assessment
has been somewhat disappointment

would be declared. Boston closed

same annoying factor hat it now is
near the surface. The Heating mine
is down $50 feet at present and sink
ing is to be resumed shortly.
THE Intoxicating is working a
parallel vein a hundred feet to the
west. In most respects this vein re-
sembles the Heating but has not as
great length nor has it been so ex-
tensively developed. It's ores are
said to run about $50 per ton, which
shows a goodly profit. The Ohio
Heating is 200 feet deep.
THE Black Friday is the third
prominent vein and at depth of 400
feet it is producing the highest grade
ore of the camp. Two hrs recently
shipped averaged $56.77 and $72.S9
per ton. Such r pays a handsome
profit when handled in any quantity.
Neither the Ohio-Keating o Black
Friday mines were operated for
many years and resumed mining only
a few months ago.
There are other veins in the camp
but none are producers as yet. The
three principle companies have well
