STOCKHOLDERS

That comparatively small section
on both sides of Mill creek. between
the Morning and Hunter mines and
hardly more than mile north Of
Mullan, continues to be the center of
much interest and mining activity.
The latest to engage public attention
is the West Hunter although it has
long been known to occupy a most
favorable position in that favored sec
ton. According to announcement
contained in a letter just issued to
stockholders of the West Hunter Mi
ming company by J. b. COsgrove, pres
ident, financial arrangements have
been effected through which the fur
Their development of the property will
soon be undertaken. The property
lies south of and joins the American
Commander and independence and is
on a parallel vein. The main devel-
opment is through a crOsscut south
from the lowest American Command
er tunnel In his letter to the stock
holders President Cosgrove says:
Eastern Capital Interested.
Since my last report to the share
holders of our company many things
have been brought to pass which will
be of very great interest to you and
take pleasure in bringing them to
your attention. Based upon an engi-
neer's report, eastern capital has ia
ken a large interest in the mine and
sufficient capital has been secured TO
our present plan of develop
ment.
AT a meeting of the directors of
the company the following officers
were elected: T. B. COsgrove, presi-
dent and manager; L. f. Carmody'
secretary treasurer, and a full board
of directors.
Our surface work has exposed
very fine showing of the ledge carry
ing galena and silver. In former
report 1 called attention to the fact
that our crosscut through the Ameri-
can Commander tunnel developed this
ledge at about 500 feet depth. where
it is to 10 feet in width, carrying
some ore at point about 500 feet
west of a perpendicular point below
the surface showing referred to. Last
year we drifted on this ledge about
200 feet with some high grade punches
of gray copper appearing in the drift.
There remains 300 feet of this drift
to be driven to intersect the ore shoot
referred to- and when this is done
West Hunter will be one of the valu-
able properties of this district. The
famous Gold Hunter vein parallels
the above vein TO the north where
this spring we opened a well miner
allied vein, development of which is
included in our immediate plans OF
