 Mr. Frank Peltier, head book keeper and accountant for the Cerro de Plata Mining Company, was a visitor in the city a couple of days this week, from the big silver bonanza, from which re- gular shipments of silver bullion are being made to the States. The big mining property which is being personally managed by EIgin and Walter Holt, principal owners, is looking better than ever in it's history. Already nearly three tons of silver bull lion has been produced with the small plant. When the capacity of the present plant is more than doubled, lucky stockholders will begin to sit up and take notice. The Holt boys deserve the best luck in the world. Before long they will be in John D's class, financially.
