of the members of the club having
property along Eleventh streot would
like to "have that thoroughfare im
proved, but owing to the tact that an
injunction suit was commenced in
the circuit court by dpt. J. P. Ap
persou to prevent tho improvement of
tlio street, the matter has been tied
up, and tho council has boon unable to
act either for or against the improve

T. B. Faircloogh, James Hatton,
J. li. Fairclough, Charles Early and
John Halo arrived in this city Friday
to spend the holidays, after spending
six months at the ugie mountain
mines. fliey report everything at the
mines as being in a most flourishing
condition, and state that in the last
six months, they have tunnelled 675
feet further, striking 'several promis
iug looking veins of ore, much of it
appearing as favorable as the sixteen
foot ledge they discovered some time
ago.
They have all been working steadily
during their six month's sojourn at
the property, and it is their intention
to resume operations before the sixth
of January. At present. there are
several men at the mines workiug out
thoir assessments. Their ten stamp
mill has beeulm use almost constantly,
and the property .is a veritable hive
of industry.
Other parties owning properties in
the vicinity of Ogle Mountain are
active in developing their mines, and
there are ninny men doing their as
sessmeut work at the nearby mine3,
it is the intention or the party now
here for the holidays to leave for Ogle
Mountain immediately after New
Year's day.
At a meeting of the board of direc
tors held December 18. 1909, tho fol
lowing resolution was adopted :
"Wherens, such progress is leing
made in tho development work at the
mines and such values are being de
veloped as wariaut a material raise in
the price of stock, thertforebe it
r solved by the board ot directors that
the balance of tho block of 6000 shares
now on the market ho sold at the
price of 25 cents per share until Janu
ary 1, 1910, and that after said date
uo stock be sold for less than 80 cents
per share. "
This is but the starting of additional
raises from time to time during the
ooming year.
