Have cut over 4000 samples at the various properties of the company and assayed a great many more taken by others, diamond dri11 samples and mill samples of heads, tails and oil concentrates. Have done some outside work also. Had over 3 weeks with Mr. F. R. Weekes last summer as assistant on the examination of some copper properties south of Tucson Ariz. Did much of the sampling and all the copper assaying. Have had surveying experience both surface and underground including shaft work with top telescope and plumbing.The company has changed hands.
