board of directors a change was
made in the officers as follows:
Byron L. Sharp of Spokane, was
elected vice president in place Of
Charles Scott. who is now confined
in the hospital Mr. Scott was
placed ON the board as a director.
W. +. Cullen was appointed di-
rector in place of l.. II. Bolduc. II.
l.. Sharp of Spokane was ap-
pointed assistant manager. Byron
Il. Sharp has gone to Minneapolis
to take charge Of the Minneapolis
office and without doubt with the
assistance of such able men Mr..
Rathbun will be able to push the
work on the property to compile
tion much faster.
The surveyors for the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway
Company have, during the past
two weeks, been at work in the
Deep creek valley and it is told
from good authority that it is the
intention Of this road to build a
logging road down from lone
through Deep creek valley to a
point southeast where large guam
tities of white pine will be cut for
shipment.
1t is the intention Of the Inland
Marble Quarries Company to build
4 spur track from their property
down Deep creek to a point one
mile above Northport connecting
with the Great Northern railroad,
the route having already been
surveyed and ties being cur
B F Sharp has recently severed
is connection with the firm Of
Sharp and Irvine of Spokane, hav.
Q been president of that company
for the past eleven years. He will
now give his entire time and at
fcntion to the interests of the In
land Marble Quarries Company
The Inland Marble Quarries Com
pany have recently made change
in the location Of their Spokane
office which is now located at6l4
PauIsen building.
Mr.. Rathbun informs us that it
is his intention to secure his labor
from the west as much as possible
| but that it is his intention to hay
an expert in each line and to give
strict attention to even trivial de
tails and be on the job every
minute. 1t will be necessary,
however, to bring several men
from the far east in order to get
experienced marble men. lie
states that in his judgment from
other marble companies operating
in the past, operations have been
carried on either on top or on the
side Of a mountain where soli1
blocks Of marble could never be
expected to be found, and after
visiting the properties of the In
land Marble Quarrles Company
his version Of the matter proves
to be true as there is considerable
land in the valley between the
two ranges Of mountains that )
absolutely fiat or nearly level ano
where the large deposits Of large
sized blocks Of pure white marble
can be quarried.
Mr.. Rathbun is very optimistic,
in fact, all Of the officers are,
over the opportunities in this sec
tion and it is hoped the citizens
Of this county will appreciate the
! fact that this company coming
into the county will prove "a big
asset, without doubt only fore
runner, as they will through their
influence bring other large con
Germs into this locality with view
Of investment.
The result thus far in the deyel-
Opment work has been very graft,
flying, and while still somewhat
meagcr, it warrants further de-
yclopment concerning the extent
of the ore bodies. The compile
tion Of the railroad spur and the
many improvements will place this
property past its development
stage by early spring. In general
the deposits are Of lead and zinc
ore IN dolomite; scattered punches
and pockets Of galena also occur;
three large fissure veins are plain
! ly seen.
