Steady Growth Of

received a copy of the annual re-
port of the company. Inasmuch as

been maintained in excellent con-
dition, and additional capacity has
been added to our mill at Libby
which will enable it to produce over
200 tons per day OF Zonolite ore
suitable for shipment. The additions
required for this added capacity
will cost around $4,000, the greater
part of which had been paid for
prior to March 81. For the nine
month period there were charges
OF $43.010.64 made for depreciation
OF assets and amortization of patents
and mine claims.

1910 to March 81, 1o4l. This will
enable it to finance any increase in
volume Of business that seems like
