Steam is up at the Foley-O'Brien Mine, the shaft is being pumped out and every ar- rangement made for Mr. Watson to make a thorough examination of this mine which has so long been idle. It seems reasonable to suppose that development work will again be start ed on this property as there is much good territory that has never been prospected. and in the work already done good showings of gold were‘ found. The Minstrel Show Will Be Good The 300 loot level development work is exposing ore of a profitable grade and work is to be pushed ag- Rl‘esflively and more drills kept runn- ing. The work so far done at this mine has been at the easterly end of the property;so rhat there.is about 2000 feet ofgood ground between the present workings and the ore that has been developed to the west. It is understood that the llrummdnd inâ€" terests have taken over the treasury stock at 40 cents. and a large mill will be emnmenced in the spring. The Jupiter Mine has every indica- tion of bright future for the stock- holders. The management is conser- vative and the ore seems to be there for the digging. The strike has not delayed this mine to any considerable extent as there has never been any intention to start the. mill until next spring and until there was plenty of ore blocked out to keep a good sized mill running for a number of years There is lots of ore in sight at this mine at the present time.

They found that moneys alleged to have been advanced to the company by different parties amounted to the tidy sum of $177,000. In addition to this they find that the five Davidson Claims, which are supposed to be the most. valuable asâ€" set of this company have not, been paid for and that there is still due the sum of $60,000. They found that the Bompany had no funds in the treasury, but did have 248,000 shares of stock. They found that the company. owed 3520,00 for wages and trademcn’s ac- counts, many of which naturally were pressing.

The Davidson claims are looked up- on by the Director s as by far the most valuable of any of the Com- pany’s holdings and if the above arâ€" rangements are not carried out the Davidson claims will be lost to the company and m the opinion of the Directors, the assets of the company will then not be sufficient to pay the creditors" china and the sharehold- ers will get nothing. This mill in the opinion of the Mine Manager, C. I“. Dike, will be sufficient to make the properties self- supporting while further mining oper- tions are being carried on. To Carry out the aboVe arrange- ments the Directors have decided up- the following plan. plates the erection of a five stamp mill. The cause of the row was over‘ the bunch of strike breakers who came in on a special C.l‘.R.' ear and were land ed at. Timmins and quartered at the “Oldfield: Hotel. They wre brought in to work at the llollinger mine. Two strikers were shot by Thicl Costablcs at Timm'ms on last Mono day morning. A party of strikers who went out. on the local train this same morn- ing learned of the arrival of these men and started for the hotel to have a conference with them and induce them to join in the strike. The men on approaching the hotel were orders ed to stop by Thiel Constables. but kept on their way towards where the men were quartered. 'l‘heir is an ugly feeling between the striking miners and the Thiel Canasta bles and serious trouble may be look ed for at any time a bad break on either side will bring on serious trouble. Row Commenced liver Men Who came into Work at Hollinger line Shooting then commenced and (WO men were snnt in the legs. but the wounds are not dangerous ones and no one was killed. The strike breakers, it is under stood have refused to pro to work and have joined the striking miners. The Thiel men were taken into ens- tody by the provincial police.

The pro- perty consists of six claims on which are located large bodies of ore, carrying Values in both. gold and sil- ver. Owing to the difficulties attend- ing the surface exploration, work during the winter season has been practically decided that no more further work will he done until after the snow leaves in the spring, further than get machinery and supplies onto the ground over the snow roads In the spring however a force of men will be put to work to open up all the known ore bodies and a further complete sampling: of the surface will then he made. A diamond drill will he used to test the ore bodies at depth. Instead of this there was a circular issued and signed dy President Tim- mins stating, that while it is the in- tention oi the directors to issue with every dividend a statement showing the financial condition of the com- pany and the condition of the mine and mill, that this statement will be four weeks behind. The circular goes on state that while there has been some inconveni- ence on account of the strike, the mine and mill are running full time and the situation on the property is very excellent. There was no statement of the con- ditions of the, Hollinger Mine along with the dividend cheques, which were sent out last Saturday. The last statement was brought down to October 26th. At the time of the next Clvidend payment the statement issued will indicate the position of the mine as of the pre- sent date, Inconvenient. is a good word, but rather mild in speaking of a labor strike and it is to he hoped that this is all it will amount to. lined Showings of Beth Gold and Silver, New York and Ben- edien Capital Interested THflMAS TflWNSHlP BlfllMS [XAMINH] The Boston Development Company Ltd.
