the property OF Capt. Thomas Hoatson general man
of the company. II Is impossible wheth n
the diamond drilling win make any change in the
present plans OF Keweenaw.
Sinking continues in the exploratory shafts. be
ing sunk by the Keweenaw the Kearsarge lodes
These have yet attain sufficient depth to determine
results of any real and positive value. There are two
diamond drilling outfits being used to explore the
territory owned by the Keweenaw, we believe
that results of very gratifying nature will

expenses. The railroad is doing better than pay its

further call funds the shareholder
