FINAL INSTACLMENT
PAID ON THE FIFTY

The final installment of the amount
of S41, ,S07.59 bid for the Fifty Gold
Mines property was paid into the bank
ruptcy court last week by the parties
who are to soon obtain possession.
David b. Sauve, the trustee of the
estate of the bankrupt company, shas
filed his final report and account for
allowance, from which 1t appears that
after the payment of taxes, prior claims
and the expenses of administration,
nothing will remain for distribution to
the secured or unsecured creditors. The
trustee asks that an order be. entered
authorizing him to destroy the books
of account and other records kept by the
bankrupt which came into his possess
ion or to deliver them to any person
who may desire to preserve them.
The court has set Tuesday, April %,
as the day for final meeting OF the
creditors to examine and pass upon the
report of the trustee and to transact
such other business as may come be-
fore the meeting.

ARGO TO CLOSE

Instructions cane from the Boston
owners Friday morning to close the Ar
70 properties indefinitely. This means
the closing of the Argo mill, Argo tun-
rel and the fremont mine.
Between fifty and sixty men will be
thrown out Of employment.
The Information was not entirely un-
expected, as the high cost OF all mining
supplies and the increased cost OF cleo
trio power had operated to the COM
pany's disadvantage for long period of
time, and their decision to shut down
came very reluctantly.
1t is to be hoped mining conditions
Will become adjusted at an early date
and permit reopening of the big prop
