DIRECTORS ELECTED FOR TWIN PEAKS
 COMPANY
Work of Installing the Mill at the Property is in Progress and Annu-

The 1911 Postponed Annual Stock
 holders Meeting of the Twin Peaks
 Mining & Milling Company was held
 at the company'S office at Twin Peaks
 Camp, May 25th, 1912. 39S,959 shares of stock were represented in person and by proxy. The following Board of Directors was elected for the ensu- Rapids, Iowa, and J. F. Fraser, C. Bosserman, Daniel Fraser, James Fra ser, of Twin Peaks Camp, N. Mex,
 postoffice address, York, Arizona.
 The new Board met immediately after the stockholders meeting and elected the following officers: J. F. Fraser, President; Daniel Fraser, Vice-President; A. N. Newhouse, Sec retary-Treasurer and Alex Fraser, General Manager of mines.
 The Secretary-TreaSurer Financial Report showed that the financial con dition of the company has never been better. Mr. J. F. Fraser is busy closing up stock sales in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and expects soon to have raised all the money necessary to complete the company's plans.
 The estimate cost of the mill the company expects to install is $20,0Q0.- %. This includes, in addition to tearing down, moving and installing the concentrating mill the company owns at Lordsburg, N. M., the. follow ing new machinery: Battery of ten stamps, tube mill, filter complete, classifier, air compressors, vacuum pump, triplex pump, tilting furnace, complete cyanide tanks, one ore crusner, one grizzley and 100 light electric generator.
 This outfit will make a complete and. modern ConcentratinScyani plant of 100 ton capacity. Seven car loads of the old mill have been loaded and are now on tue way to the mine. The mill site has been selected near the Free Gold Shalt. has been SIT vey ed, staked and grading commenc- ed. The site is an ideal one having a natural slope. John w. Kniffin, the engineer and metallurgist who has made mill run tests and designed the mill states a better site could not be made to order. MT. kniffin will super ;ntend the construction of the mill 4ni run it till it is in perfect work ins order. He built the Clear Lake mill and also built several mills in the Mogollon District, N M, all of which are running successfully. He is well man and metallurgist. He pronoun- ces Twin Peaks to be the best concen- trating ore he ever handled.
 This entire district is being imbu- ed with new life and we predict that in the course of a few years it will rank as one of the best producers in the country. The Apache Box, the big new gold strike, within 1-2 miles sold recently for $2OO,OOO.OO and was turned again for $500,000.00. The new owners report getting ready to build 250 ton mill The old Carlisle mine that produced several millions some years ago, is under option and a mining engineer in the district for Nevada capitalists, is figuring on buy ing. it. A number of prospects have changed hands for good prices, the district is greatly admired by all the mining men who have been attracted to it by this renewed activity, and VIC have the best of reasons for predict ing that all neighboring properties will help Twin Peaks and make it a producing district of great note.
 The company has recently leased it's copper group to Leonard Smith on a royalty basis.
