ed. The amount of ore in sight Is
enormous and in short time the sue
cess of this property will be the means
of encoura ging operating of other
good properties in that district as
there are many excellent properties
lying idle in the Alamos district on
account of the owners being without
the funds necessary to prosecute OPP
erations. J. r. Hendra is the superin-
tendent of the Santo Domingo.
