Pollock Mines Limited Adjour ned Meeting and Health of Treasury
The adjourned annual meeting of Pollock Mines Limited at Hedley saw H C Pollock preside with C E B Oliver as secretary. Auditors reported 78 percent of treasury stock intact, 22 percent disposed of to fund Copper Cliff claims and Pollock group development. Directors re-elected: H C Pollock, C E B Oliver, H W Yates, J Gladden, B A C Studd, with Pollock as president and Oliver as secretary. Development on the Martin claim shows a strong vein and payable ore, justifying mill and tramway construction and a higher treasury stock price to raise funds. Directors commend six months of progress and expect continued productive work.
