 It is stated that the stockholders will, while here, authorize great deal of inn provement at the mines in addition to the $2o0,O00 worth of company work which is now going forward. It is the desire of the local officers to make a new opening and erect another washer. calling for an outlay of about S100,000. This has been agreed upon tentatively, but official sanc- ton has not been given. It Is rather anticipated that such action will be taken bv the president and the directors while in the city.
 The developments at Acmar (Sanie) are among the most expensive being made In the district by any Independent operator The holdings near Margurite are said by experts to be among the richest ever found in Alabama and developments on a proportionate scale are being completed The New York men who arrived last night seemed to be very much interested in the trip which will begin today Presi- dent Overton said he was very much en- couraged over conditions. MT. Macey and MT Colgate who are both multi-million- aires. said the trip was to inspect the company properties and they would pre- fer not to talk until the inspection had been made. They were strong in their beIef that Birmingham Is the greatest southern city. and said the developments | lo be made here in the future would eer- tainly eclipse those of the past.
 The party will return to New York Sun day afternoon probably. While here 1t is not unlikely that some social atten- tions will be shown them.
