ations are about to be resumed on
its property adjoining the Prince on
the north. No report of early re-
sumption of work on the Phoebe De-

is to be made in the spring to recov-

The old Ely Valley property. now
owned by C. ]. Warren and the Sill
goled Mining Company, is not oper-
ating at present, but negotiations
are pending for early resumption of

pumping themselves.
