CURB ECHOES.

Extensive operations are being planned
for developing the Donaldson. at Elk
Lake, by the controlling interests OF the
Beaver Mines. who have formally taken
over the management. and of which they
recently acquired control The new con-
troll, according to reports. has retained
Harry Donaldson as manager. 1t Is stat
cd that large plant Will be placed on the
property In a very short period.
The claim OF the Barnet-Durrell syndt-
cate In Wilett township has been pur-
chased recently by the Nipissing Reduc-
ton Company, of Cobalt, according TO
local reports. This property, II is said,
shows extensive lead of milling ore. The
claim is about seven miles from Elk Lake
and about two miles from the line OF the
Elk Railroad. The Nipissing Reduction
Company. 81 is. thought, Will probably
build a small mill on the property.
For the fiscal year ended June 20 last
the Snowstorm Mining Company earned
Sl7,9i0. Operating expenses amounted to
500. 294 leaving a profit Of $S.9i6. The an
nual production of the company amounted
to 32,0l4 tons OF ore, OF which 1885, tons
were shipped and 900 tons mi'ied. Sue
cessfuT operation, 1t is claimed, has been
obtained by the first unit OF the con-
contractor and, according to reports, the
second unit will be In operation by Sep
TENDER To- which will give the company
a milling capacity OF more than 10 tons
day.
At the annual meeting OF the stockhod-
ers OF the Stewart Mining Company. held
al Kellogg, Idaho. the Heinze forces voted
a majority OF the stock. The board oil
directors elected consists OF w l.. Allison
president of the National Reserve Bank
OF New York City; Edward Hickey, pres
ident OF the State Savings Bank, Butte,
Mont: Allan Bowie, of Butte, Mont; VIII
lam A. Beardry, of Kellogg, Idaho, and
w. l.. Cullen, OF Spokane. Wash. Repre-
sentatives of the Garter stockholders pro-
tective committee expressed satisfaction
with the election OF the above named
directors. and believe that the protest
made by the committee was partly respon'
sible for the election OF so representative
directorate.

The Public Service Commission. I'd Dis-
trict. heard this week the applications OF
the Utica & Mohawk Valley Railway
Company for consent to exercise fran
chises for the construction of double
track line through the town Of German
Flats. villages of Mohawk and Ilion.
Herkimer County. J. Il. Rafter. OF Mo-
hawk, appeared for the village OF Mo
hawk and the town Of German Flats.
Supervisor Henry Spoon, Justice of the
Peace r. NJ Graves and Town Clerk r..
II. Sayiee, of German Flats. appeared
at the hearing. Francis X. Herman. Of
Utica, appeared for the railroad company.
There was no opposition 90 the granting
of the applications and the commission
indicated that formal consent would be
given. The action now terminates a con-
test dating back to 1901. At that time
the railroad company asked for fran
chises through the town and villages
mentioned, but was refused In 1907 APP
plications were again made and once
more refused. After that the railroad
company built the West Shore cutoff
around the town and villages. a 1iat co
of about three and onc-half miles, and
has been operating by this cutoff since
that time. 1t Is probable that the cutoff
will now be abandoned and the direct
iine,run through the town and Villages to
accommodate the entire population. A
state highway Is being built over the
route where the proposed double track
is to be constructed. and work is under
way at the present time.
