This stock is held in escrow to be released November 17, 1930. There remains in the treasury of the new company 590,981 shares. A number of eminent mining engineers have ex- amined and reported favorably upon the mine nnd I:efore the purchase wns effected Samuel E.

General Manager: SAhf UEL Ehf MONS CHANEY, Mining Engineer. Secretary Treasurer: HOMER C. hfILLS, Lawyer Los Angeles FACTS THAT COUNT 1. The Drumm Lummon Mine operated by Los Angeles-Vancouver hfines Ltd., is in an ideal location for economical nnd convenient shipment. It hns been reported on by E. A. Haggen, one of the best known mining engineers in British Columbia who stated it has every possibility of de- veloping into n vnlunbel mine not only as a producer of copper, but as the leading gold producer on the coast. 3. Copper nnd gold are both metals which are not affected by market fluctuations to the extent that other metals are. 4. The directorate is composed of men who are thoroughly versed in every phase of mining in British Columbia nnd the lower Pacific Coast. 5. The cnpitnlizntion of the company is com- paratively low nnd returns may reasonably be ex- pected in n short time. 6. Development work of the property has defin- itely proved its value nnd active work this summer should bring the mine to the shipping point in the fall of 19M. DEVELOPhf EiiT The Drumm Lummon mine is located on Douglas Channel in the Skeenn hIining district of British Columbia and consists of 13 claims covering an area of 600 acres. A crew of men is already at the prop- erty doing the work preliminary to active develop- ment which is to be carried out through the summer nnd winter of this year. Operations at the mine will be in charge of hfr. Chancy nnd W'. C. Rannnls, the latter n practical mine operator who was formerly mth Britannia hfine and the Bonaparte Mine at Ashcroft. The ore consists mainly of copper minerals of exceptionally massive character and carries high values in gold and silver. It is situated within n mile of tidewater with a good dock, railway. power plant and camp nccomodntion. In tests shipments nlready made the mine has produced the highest grade copper ore yet obtained for the development and operating mines of British Columbia. Values from these shipments ran $2 to $35 per ton in gold, 14 to 60 oz. silver and 24 to 68 per cent. copper. The gross average value per ton is estimated at $ 19.29. Development work to date consists of about ",000 feet of underground work on the I %.1 claim of the group. This includes No. 1 level SQ ft. in length, main cross-cut tunnel 440 ft. main drift from intersection of ore zone in cross-cut tunnel to faci~20 feet.
