consequently obliged to depend on the

WITHIN A STONES THROW
OF THE FAMOUS HALIFAX

The Mount eddie Mines company
is credited with having the best
prospects of any property along the
eastern horizon and, under the direc-
ton of practical miners, it is certain
that the stockholders will not have
any cause for complaint. Unless all
signs fail, this company should come
into the pay zone at much earlier
stage and with far less expense than
was incurred by other companies in
the same vicinity. The estate adj
joins the Halifax, Mizpah Extension
and Buckeye Belmont.
John A. Kendall, vice president and
