the Stockholders

After hearing and discussing the
report of Wesley Everett, president
and manager of the Amazon Dixie
Mining company, the stockholders
approved his report, adopted his rec
concentrations, and incidentally unani-
mously adopted resolution express
ing their confidence to the utmost
in Mr.. Everett. The meeting was held
in Cleveland and was ATTENDED by 80
stockholders in person, and 1t was for
the purpose of meeting and comforting
with the stockholders that Mr.. Everett
was called east few weeks ago. The
meeting was presided over by A. w.
Ellenberger, one of the directors who
made a thorough inspection of the
Amazon Dixie about two months ago.
He went into considerable detail In
giving the results of his examination
OF the mine and the manner in which
the affairs of the company had been
handled, and his conclusions as to the
possibilities of further development.
Mr. Elenberger then called upon
Manager Everett for his report and
recommendations. Copies of the re-
port were handed to each stockholder,
while large map showed the extent
of development and that proposed, Mr..
Everett's report follows;

"Since my last report made to
stockholders work has been carried
on in prospecting and development OF
the mine. The main working tunnel Is
on a 7O0-foot level, extending about
1000 feet from the portal, which Is on
the level of the railroad and some
eight crosscuts have been made on this
level. About 5000 feet from the por-
tai of this working tunnel a shaft has
been sunk 450 feet 200 feet down the
shaft on what is known as the 300
foot level, tunnel has been run 800
feet being a crosscut to the vein. 200
feet further down on what is known
as the 100 foot level, another tunnel
has been run, being also crosscut to
Ithe vein. The shaft is a two compdrt-
ment shaft and extends so feet below
the 100 foot level, which acts as
sump to catch water and facilitates
hosting operations.
A two compartment raise has also
been run from the 700 foot level to the
200 foot level, about 500 feet, which
raise was driven to prospect the vein
and to provide the necessary ventila-
tion for the mine, and some work was
done on two intermediate drifts from
the raise; these drifts being about $50
feet apart prependicularly. One drift
was about $50 feet on the vein and
the other about so feet on the vein.
Ore Development.
On the 200 foot and the 700 foot,
and the raise between these levels,
good ore appears, but the vein Is bad
ly broken through the introduction of
what is known in mining terms as a
horse; that is, the introduction of
foreign material by convulsion. AS a
general proposition it will pay to work
II only in spots, and In connection with
production on other levels of the mine.
On the 900 foot level the vein was
found to be in place and with no in
dication of the horse" as appeared in
the upper levels.
On the 100 foot level the vein was
also found in place and in better shape
even than on the 900 foot level
The drift on the vein on the 900 foot
level is about $40 feet the drift on
each level being about equally divided
east and west from the crosscut.
The ore found in these drifts is of
good quality and quantity, so that 1t
: presents good working conditions. On
|, the 900 foot level the vein is about six
, feet between walls, with a pay streak
averaging 21a feet Of good lead, silver,
! copper ore.
On the 100 foot level the vein has
widened to about IA feet between walls
, with pay streak averaging about AZ
feet of lead, silver, copper ore Tin one
= spot the pay streak will average about
, 6 feet for a distance of about rs feet.
It will be noted from the above that
the vein on the 100 foot level as
! compared with the 900 foot level has
. widened between walls from about six
: feet to fourteen feet, and the paw
streak from 21s feet to Az feet Some
ore taken from the face of the drift on
4 the 100 foot level assayed about $40
= but fair general average found on
= this drift is about $50.
This DEVELOPMENT in dimensions of
the vein and value of the ore between
