A LTHOUGH the Miner has from
~ time to time published mucl
~ information regarding the ex
tensive operations of the ANA
zon- Dixie Mining company. it is prob,
able that only those who have visited
the property of the company at SildiX
just across the Idaho Montana line
fully grasp the extent of development
work already accomplished, the
amount of ore disclosed and which
iustifies the elaborate and expen-
sive equipment that is now being
installed to facilitate further develop
ment and place the property on a pro-
ductive basis. From the beginning the
operations of the company have been
under the personal direction of Wesley
Everett, backed by a group of Cleve-
land capitalists, many of whom have
frequently visited the Amazon Dixie
and have given the management most
loyal support. Last fall Mr. Everett
went to Cleveland to confer with large
stockholders regarding plans for fur
Their development and the installation
of the necessary equipment with the
result that orders were Immediately
placed for everything necessary to IA
cilitate carrying out the development
plans. Much delay has been expert
enced in the delivery of the machinery
and supplies, but with the arrival of
the big transformer, which is due any
day. all equipment will be speedily in
stalled. A letter just issued by Mr..
Everett. president of the company, and
Herman J. ROssi. secretary. goes into
considerable detail to inform the stock
holders regarding the affairs of the
company, the new equipment and the
progress being made toward placing
ii in operation, from which the reader
will gain some idea of the magnitude
of the enterprise. The letter follows:
To the Stockholders.
Our detailed report sent you. dated
November Sth. 1919 outlined instruc-
tions to the management and directors
of your company as decided upon by a
majority of stockholders, majority
both in numbers and shares, embodied
an aggressive and extensive develop
ment policy including the construc-
ton of a power line of 9 miles in
length to connect our property with
the main power line of the Montana
Power company where it furnishes
electricity to the Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad; likewise the at
tendant installation of the most mod /
ern electrical equipment and machin
cry at the mine as well as proceeding
with a vigorous development of the ,
property.
AT that time though direct instruc
tons from the stockholders were to
levy an assessment of Toe per share,
your directors felt that such an as
sessment would be both unnecessary L
TO be levied at one time and would
prove a hardship to many stockhold-
ers to pay and therefore chose to di- /,
vide the levy into several assessments, Is
TO be levied as it became necessary. l.
As the time has arrived when funds
are greatly needed the directors have IS
evied an assessment of &c per share
Is per notice appended and trust that
payments will not be delayed by the
since machinery and
equipment are now arriving and must
De paid for upon arrival.
