some time at the mine and
make a thorough investiga-

books of the company will be
gone over with a view of de-
termining the actual condi-

ingly. Mr.. VIM. Weatherby,
who is one of the leading gold
metallurgists of the Mogollon
district of New Mexico, whom
the Twin Peaks is trying to
secure as their engineer, writes
making a very reasonable offer
for his services, stating he
would consider acting as our
consulting engineer providing
our company would agree to
his terms. He is expected in
to check up the development at
once then determine as to
whether or not he will accept
the position. More men are
being added to the force al
ready on the development of
the Twin Peaks free gold shaft
mine. Weatherby will see it
to the bottom. Machine drills
will he installed as soon as
possible and the development
pushed on a large scale. Mr..
Smith, who has leased the
Twin Peaks copper group of
claims, in now in 335 feet with
his tunnel. He has several

results after he reaches the ore.
He is using his own money for
development and agrees to pay
the Twin Peaks Company ten

returns. The above lease runs
from June 10, 1912, for two
years.

more about Twin Peaks. They
have mentioned handling the
stock as a leader. / am con.
WINGED that great things are in

stock. The whole mining
world will sit up and take notice
once the Philips Dodge Co.
commences development in the
Twin Peaks district.
A letter just received from
A. N. Newhouse, York, Ariz.
dated February 8, 1913, states
Twin Peaks development is on.
Miners are at work on the lOO
foot level. Sinking pumps,
boilers, and all machinery are
being put in shape. Teams
are now hauling the 10. 600 lib.
air compressor fly wheel to
camp. New air drills are or
dered, also a new sinking
pump, preparatory for develop
ment on a large scale. With
the machine drills more work
can be done in two months
than we formerly did in a year
by hand drilling. He further
states that Mr.. Creig of the
Apache Box confidentially told
him the Guggenheimers were
dealing for the property of the
Apache Box; also that the
Philips Dodge Company were
after the Apache Box and other
good properties of the Twin
Peaks district. We are very
anxious to have large corpora.

vicinity. 1t will mean develop.
