b. r Edwards, vice president OF tho
company, makes the following comment
on the reports submitted by the man
ager and secretary.
THE reports OF your general manager
and Secretary show the financial and ply
slcal condition OF your properties to be III
a satisfactory condition. We have more
than enough cash on hand to pay off all
indebt eanesS.
''Our general manager has commeIAed
blocking out ore bodies so that we can
measure up tonnage in sight. This policy
Will be pursued until we have developed
estimates have been favorable toward in
staling mill and your property looks
past; however, we believe 1T good bust
ness to develop and block out sufficient
ore to guarantee the investment
Recent installation of machine drills
together with future installation of the
washing and asserting plant mentioned
by Manager Brady, will place US in a po-

Since the closing of our fiscal year
March 81. 1910, we encountered a fine
body of ore at q point about 400 feet
distant westerly from the Corkill shaft.
This ore has been opened up beyond the
150 feet from the CorlSll shaft, and as
says $50 per ton. Drifting east and west
on this ore will begin at once. The dis
covery is of great importance owing TO
the fact that 1t Is at pol Int very much
farther west than anything heretofore
encountered, and that it has been dis
covered beyond the large fault; further
