over which our maximum grade is but of one per cent Of engineering difficulties w WC i have had none although the dented severity of last l st winter rendered it necessary to suspend operations for a considerable period We e have today to 13 completed the line tine into Ely and will soon have it completed to the tile smelter site and to the mines minos an anere and andere ere another year rolls

which both the com corn company company pany and the tile shall have a voice to the end en 1 that our life lICe here may ma have many bright spots that rn night other otherwise otherwIse otherwise wise be lacking In return I can ex cx expect expect from the public and aud our no less than what we give reasonable and just treatment and a spirit of loyalty that cannot can ot be bt destroyed by
