Gently acquired undcr bond from the
Finch-Campbell interests, and fifteen
men, working in three shifts are row
employed driving the bore. The waste

Snowstorm Statement.
Notices were received last week by |
stockholders in the Snowstorm Mining |
company. announcing that the annual |
stockholders meeting would be held at |
the mine at Larson, July 20. when Off |
GERS will be elected and the yearly re-
ports submitted. The notice states
that the Snowstorm mill has been oper- |
sted successfully during the last year
and. considering the grade of ore treat |
ed. the earnings have been satisfactory. |
Underground conditions have been such |
that it was impossible to mine the high !
grade ore and protect the property. In |
dications are that the ore body cut off |
by fault lies from 400 to 500 feet |
below the No. tunnel level to the !
east The company is sinking from
this level now and believes that there |
is good prospect of locating the vein |
again.

mine. Rarid progress is being made
preparing the foundation for the plant |
and the heavy machinery, including |
the electric motors: has been ordered !
already, but the value-saving appli- |
ances will not be purchased until the

their investigations. Present plans
contemplate the completion of the mill |
and tranway by the first of the wear, |
and it is expected that thev will be |
adjusted and operating by February, |
