HIGHLAND MINING COMPANY HOLDS
 ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of the share holders of the Highland Mining com- pany was held at the offices of the Citizens Bank, in Kingman, last Tues day, practically all the issued shares being represented. The report of the general manager was read and ap- proved. This report was one of the most important ever made to the cor poration, as it showed the payment for every article of machinery, the pur- chase of the Golconda group of min es, the driving of better than 1000 feet of drifts, raises to the other lev els and the improvement of the sur face. The deep tunnel has been driv- en towards the old Prosperity and Primrose, these properties to be en- tered several hundred feet below the old tunnel levels. The treasurer's re- port shows the expenditure of over $60,000 for labor and machinery dur ing the year, the new mill material being paid for and on the ground Owing to the non-arrival of trans formers, which had been ordered early in the past year ,the work of erec- of the mill had been retarded. This work will now be rushed to compile tion.
 The shareholders elected the follow ing directors for the ensuing year: C. B. Bell, w. J. Cook, Alexander Rose John Mulligan, Edwin Baker, Ole J Aaker and J. B. Speed. The board then elected c. B. Bell president, w J. Cook vice president; Alexander Rose, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Bell was also appointed general man. ager of the properties.
 About a month ago the mining edi, tor visited the properties of the High land Mining Company and was sur. prised with the enormous amount of work that had been done during the year. To our way of thinking nc mine in the state has secured so much work for such small amount of ex- penditure, the company having carried on the work of development without interruption during the entire year The drift from the deep tunnel on the Middle Golconda ground has been car, ried into the veins, and drifting on the vein is now in/1000 feet from the tun- nel heading. It is the intention tc carry this drift into the old works of the Golconda, passing through the Lit, tie Jimmy and Tub veins. A depth of over 800 feet perpendicularly will be obtained on the Golconda, and the big ore bodies above that level made accessible. The Tub vein, which is ! one of the largest in that section, vii also be opened to the 500 level, this ground being virgin. The vein ir places is fully 50 feet wide and capable of producing enormous bodies of ore All ores will be carried through the tunnel of the Middle Golconda to the mill, which will be erected at the mouth of the tunnel. It is proposed to handle every pound of ore auto. matically, the ore being dropped into ore pockets in the mine, then into big mine cars, thence to the mill bunkers and fed into the big breakers and rolls Oil Notation will be the method em- ployed in the recovery of values. The ores from these mines run high in silver, gold, lead and zinc. A com plete seperation of the zinc and lead will be made, although it is improb- able that the zinc will be marekted at this time, the management preferring to await better market conditions.
 Among the out-of-town sharehold- CTS attending the meeting were w. J. Cook, Chloride; J. B. Speed, Los Ang- geles; Ole -. Aaker, Flandreau; Ed win Baker and Charles Brunner, Du- rant, Wis. These men visited the mines of the company and were well pleased with the condition of the prop erty.
