In the event of the shareholders deciding that mining operations shall be carried on it will be necessary under the new act that authority be given to the directors, empowering them to let the mine, or any portion of it, on tribute should such a course at any time be desirable. The report and balance-sheet were adopted. The directors were empowered to let a por tion of the mine on tribute if they thought necessary. It was agreed that an extraordinary meet ing be called to consider the directors' sug gestions regarding the best way of disposing ■of the Company's property.
