At the annual meeting there was
minority interest which expressed de-
sire 10 have some eastern representa-
tion on the directorate. 1t was explained
by those in control that this experiment
had been made and that the eastern di-
reCtorS never attended any OF the meet
ings. that there were important pucs-
tons that came up which had 10 be act
cd upon hastily, and that II was essen
tial that the directors should be in easy
calling distance of the general Offices OF
the company In this city. The controlling
interests expressed a desire to do any
thing In reason for the smaller interests
In the company, but II was not thought
proper 10 dlsplace some OF the older men
OF the company who were familiar with
conditions of the property and the camp,
and could NOR" wisely administer the af-
fairs of the company because Of their
knowledge OF mining conditions. The
meeting was very harmonious, and all
saw the wisdom OF this conclusion.
Bamberger Resigns.
Ernest Bamhorger resigned from the
general manaGershlp about the first OF
the year. Mr.. Mcmillan took charge OF
the properties In February. Mr.. Bam
berger resigned In order that he might
devote his entire time to personal az
fairs. He is at this time In Mexico.
where he and his father have large min
Ing interests. He feels that the new
fields offer greater inducements. and has
therefore transferred his activities 10 that
southern country. Mr.. Mcmillan Is quite
having served in an active capacity on
the directorate for n number Of years.
He knows a great deal about the camp,
and VIII enter upon his duties with the
advantage OF years Of experience as
mining man.
Operations at the property are now
being carried on at three places They
are developing and extracting some mill
ing ores on the 1900. 100 and 1900 foot
levels. The plan is TO continue this work
for the present In hopes OF finding some
thing extensive In mill ores, or some
high grade deposits similar TO those
mined on the upper levels.
A couple OF leases have been let on
the workings above the l200-foot level.
These operations have been quite sue
cessful. the men earning better than
regular wages. and the royalties paid TO
the company run into profits rapidly.
These leasing operations are to be con-
tinued during the time that new terri
tory is being developed on company ac-
count No new construction work is be-
Ing considered at this time. Manager
Mcmillan says that IL enough milling ore
is developed In the deeper workings 10
justify rebuilding the mill plant at the
mouth OF the drain tunnel, the subject
will be taken up later.
