Final Distribution.

II will be observed that sum I'm cx-
cess OF $4,000 has been spent in mining
work. while the balance of expense has
related entirely 10 the acquisition OF patA
ont and the porpetustion OF the corpora :
tion. Neither the mining work performed
on the property nor similar work per-
formed elsewhere in the district by 9TH
ers encourages tho belief that q further
search for ore will be other than fruit
less, and the common belief OF the large
majority OF stockholders mentioned is
that final distribution of the company s
cash assets Will he prefera bic to tho fur
ther maintenance OF the corporation and
an ultimate and inevitable absorption of
the compsny's remaining cash balance in
administrative expense. wholly without

Such a distribution will yield TO stock
