ANNUAL MEETING OF
RAINBOW MINING CO.

At the annual meeting of the Rainbow
Mining company, which was held in this
city during the past week, the following
directors were elected for the ensuing
year: A F Jacobson, r. J. Jarvis, w.
i. Sawyer, George Saxton and Ernest II.
Fowler.
Mr.. Jarvis, who has been president and
manager, says;
The tunnel, which has been advanc-
ing steadily since work was begun last
spring, has now cut the ore-bearing vein
at a depth of 80 feet from the surface,
and a large body OF high-grade mols b
denum ore has been exposed. This IS
much richer than the surface ore, al
though the ore at the surface averaged
II per cent mOlybdenite. The company
will probably erect a small experimental
mill at the mine during the coming year
to treat their molybdenum ore.
THE financial statement showed the
greater part of the original treasury stock
to be yet held in the company's treasury
with no debts to impede the progress of
the company. The work went steadily
forward during the year, when funds
have been hard TO obtain for developing
new properties"
The comDany's claims are located near
Alta. Utah. and give promise of becoming
one Of the big mines in that district.
