THE PRINCESS MINING CO.

In the early part of the year 1901 The Reed Investment Company, of which Mr. Verner Z. Reed is president and O. H. Shoup secretary, adopted a policy of working the properties which they controlled by the leasing system.

They were among the first to inaugurate a longer time lease with a lower royalty, so that on all the properties which they control, there has been active development work carried on during the past year by lessees.

The Princess Mining company are the owners of the Mollie Bell lode on Raven hill, adjoining the Elkton, and owns on Beacon hill the Little Mildred and Grey Eagle claims.

During the past year there has been a lease in operation on the Mollie Bell under Messrs. Clements and Osborne, who are also operating a lease on the Tornado, belonging to the Elkton company.
