dred acres along Georgetown creek, a
small stream that comes down from
Cable mountain. famous for its rich
ore deposits. The company has ex.
pended $4,000. and 1t is the intention
to install the latest type of dredge on
the property this fall. The work so

value of $40 a share by the issue Of
100000 shares at $3.50 a share, which
means an addition of s1,000,0O0 to the
