COMPANY PASS RESOLUTION
Continued from Page u

(Contlnueu from rage IL
110.79, besides adding materially to the
property in the way of surface and I'M
derground equipment and development
of ore bodies.
The stockholders of record at the
annual meeting a year ago, and who
have retained their stock until the
present annual meeting, have all been
fully reimbursed on their original in
vestment and from the reports of the
officers of the company just submit
ted and with equally favorable condi-
tions as to price of metals prevailing,
coming year will equal those of the
year just closed, making a record of
which the officers of the company are
justly proud and for which they are
entitled to the sincere thanks of the
grateful stockholders, which is hereby
rendered them.
1t is to be regretted that, for mer-
cenary purposes alone, certain alleged
and INSCRIPTIONS brokers in Spokane
and the east, aided and abetted by
equally INSCRIPTIONS circular pub
fishers, have seen fit to constantly at
tack the mine and it's management
without warrant in any particular.
No producing and paying mine or
it's management in this region is safe
from the attacks of such bandits,
whose sole motive is to acquire a few
paltry dollars by frightening timid
stockholders and thus inducing them
to part with their stock at much less
than it's intrinsic value.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
That this resolution be spread upoc
he records of the company and
copy of same be furnished to- all the
stockholders, and that the same be
published in the Wallace Miner, the
Wallace Press Times and also in the
Spokesman Review and in the Spo-
kane Chronicle.

Underground Work.


Rush ]. White, manager of the East
Caledonia Mines company, reports
satisfactory progress being made in
getting the new equipment in position.
He expects everything in the way of
machinery to be in working order
within two weeks. In the meantime
the pumps will be started just as soon
as the electric power line is complet
ed to the property and it is expected
that the water will be lowered to the
200 level by the time the hoist is ready
for operation. Work for the present
will be confined to the 200, as consid-
cradle ore has been disclosed there
and the indications seem favorable for
further important developments.

Lee Shelburn, Wen-Known Young Man
of that City Takes Own Life.

Greenville, N. C. Aug. 5.-The city
was shocked to learn yesterday morn
ing that Mr.. Lee Shelburn, son of Mr..
and Mrs E. II. Shelburn had died by a
pistol shot from his own hand. No
cause can be assigned for the rash act
and only a few hours before he com
mitteed hte deed, he had answered to
some remark by friend that he was
not ready to leave here yet. He used
a pistol and the ball entered the right
temple and came out at the left tenn
pie, going entirely through his head.
Death must have been instantaneous.
Lee was very popular boy and active
