 RErORT OF FRO(}RESS. 
 
 To the Stockholders of the Canada, Consolidated Gold Mining 
 Company. 
 
 At the annual meeting in January last, it was ordered that, 
 as soon as a proper adjustment of the Company's affairs Avas 
 arrived at and intentions changed into facts, a statement 
 should be issued and each stockholder furnished with a copy 
 thereof. In pursuance of this direction, the following is re- 
 sjoectfully submitted for your consideration. 
 
 Hitherto, the operations of this Company have been con- 
 fined to the preliminary steps found to be necessary in the 
 early stage of all such enterprises. Stock had to be sold ; 
 transfers of property examined ; meetings of companies sell- 
 ing out their properties to this one brought about ; con- 
 tracts for machinery considered ; the opening up of the 
 mine attended to, and, generally, such a pushing along the 
 whole line as to bring the affairs of the Company into order 
 and unity. 
 
 Of the stock sold through the Bank of Montreal, it is 
 pleasant to bci able to say that every share has been paid icjr ; 
 not a single piirchasor being in default on the final payment. 
 
 A sale of the working capital stock has been arranged, and 
 it is being taken up as rapidly as the requirements of the 
 Company demand. 
 
 Contracts have been made for all important machinery 
 required to complete the C(im]iany's reduction-works at the 
 earliest possible moment ; and if these contracts are fulfilled 
 by the responsible firms who have taken them, ore-treatment

 will pr()})ably begin in September or, iit the latest, in October 
 next. 
 
 The construction of a mill capable of treating 125 tons of 
 ore a day is at present g<jdng on, and on such a plan that the 
 increase of its capacity to 250 tons a day will require a 
 comparatively small additional outlay. 
 
 The i)roperties heretofore owned by General J. M. Tuttle, 
 R. P. Rothwell, Trustee, Messrs. Devine, Auger, and Christies, 
 and the Gatling Gold and Silver Mining Com])any, are now the 
 property of this Company. They have been fully paid for, 
 and transfers properly executed. 
 
 On the Hawkeye Gold Mining Company property, a pay- 
 ment has been made on account, leaving a balance due of 
 $5000, which was withheld by advice of counsel until certain 
 additional forms had been complied with. Payment of this 
 balance, which bears no interest, will probably be made by 
 the first of August next, and result in giving this Company 
 clear title to every acre of bind mentioned in its prospectus. 
 
 For a statement of progress at the mines up to a late date, 
 reference is made to the appended report of Mr. R. P. Roth- 
 well, the Consulting Engineer of the Company. 
 
 In conclusion, a suggestion to the stockholders may not be 
 out of place. It is hoped that, during the coming summer, 
 many of them will find their way to Marmora, Ontario, there 
 to see for themselves the value of their property and the 
 method of its development. The mines are easily reached 
 from Belleville, Ontario, from whence a branch railroad runs 
 to Madoc, twelve miles from Marmora, where a carriage 
 must be taken. A pleasanter way is to stop over night at 
 Belleville, and proceed the next morning by carriage (thirty- 
 six miles). There are several good hotels at Belleville, the 
 Dafoe House being the best and nearest to good livery. The 
 cost of living and horse-hire in Ontario is very reasonable. 
 
 Respectfully, 
 
 JAMES W. LOVERIDGE, 
 
 Secretary.

REPORT OF THE CONSULTING ENGINEER. 
 
 New YoiiK, June 3, 1881. 
 
 To the Boiird of IVuHte^js of the Oannda Consolidated Gold 
 Minbuj Coiiijjuny : 
 
 Gentlemen : At the request of the Executive Committee 
 of your Board, I beg to make the foHowiiig brief report upon 
 the work being done at your mines, and other matters whicli 
 naturally come under my personal knowledge. 
 
 The operations at your mines have been carried on since 
 January last by the Company's resident Superintendent, Mr. 
 E. Gaujot ; and though delays have occurred in getting 
 machinery as soon as it was expected and promised, yet a 
 large amount of work has been done both in the mines and 
 upon the surface. 
 
 Work has been carried on almost continuously in the four 
 levels of the deep shaft ; these have been always in good ore, 
 and at the date of my recent visit (May 17-22), the proportion 
 of sulphurets in each face was above the average in the rock 
 extracted while I was making my tests previous to the pur- 
 chase of the property. Thus far, the developments have fully 
 confirmed our anticipations, and we have to record up to this 
 time the unusual fact that no portion of the shafts or levels 
 has ever been out of pay-ore. The deep shaft has been tim- 
 bered in the most substantial manner with a man-way and 
 pump-way separate from the hoist-way, and provided with 
 ladders arranged in first-rate, workmanlike manner. The 
 timbers for the track were ready for the steel rails then 
 expected daily at the mines. 
 
 A substantial shaft-house was in place and hoisting- 
 engines in position at both the deep shaft and the Tuttle 
 shaft. 
 
 V

 The boilor fi)r th(^ Tnttle saaft online was then on the 
 road to the mines, and has since reached there, as have also 
 the rails for the deep shaft and the tramway fro.n the shafts 
 t«" the mine. 
 
 The large Hand Compressors were in position in the old 
 Gatling mill, the engines for which are used to drive them. The 
 pipes iov carrying air from the compressors to the different shafts 
 were on the ground and being connected. Mr. Gaiijot reports 
 them in position and the rock-drills r operation. The com- 
 pressors w'll have sufficient capacity, with the large air-receiv- 
 ers alreadj^ provided, to run twelve drills. The drills will be 
 used in driving the four levels, sinking two shafts, an^. driv- 
 ing a cross-cut to intersect some of the other veins. In a 
 short time, two more levels Avill be opened in the Tuttle shaft, 
 and stopes will be preparc^d in the several levels, so that the 
 work of supplying the mill will b" easily performed. 
 
 A large store-house, mine captain's office, and other conven- 
 ient buildings have been erected and work commenced upon 
 the foundations of five blocks, giving ten large miners' houses. 
 The plans and specifications were prepared for a brick office 
 building, superintendent's house, and store. A large amount 
 of brick, stone, lumber, and timber of all kinds was accumu- 
 lated on the ground, and the company's brick-yard was in full 
 operation, brick being molded, burnt, and delivered at a cost 
 of about $i per thousand. A large amount of excellent build- 
 ing stone was quarried and delivered for the foundations of 
 the new mill at a cost of from $1.75 to $2 per cord of 128 
 cubic feet. About 1500 cords of excellent hard wood are on 
 the ground at a cost to the company of about $1.20 per cord 
 (average). The greater part of the timber for the nev/ mill 
 buildings is on the ground, and the carpenters were then 
 ready to commence framing. 
 
 The water accumulated by the dam built last summer can 
 be conveyed to the new mill by a flume of four or five hun- 
 dred feet in length, and it will there have a fall of about 21 
 feet. The machinery for the concentrating works is under 
 contract, and the last of it will be shipped at the begiiming of

 August. This machinery will have a capacity of from 125 to 
 150 tons per day, and the engine provided to supplement the 
 water-power in the dry season will be sufficient for double the 
 present works. 
 
 Every thing about the works and mines is being done in 
 a most substantial and economical mai ner, and under the 
 direction of experienced practical men, at the head of whom 
 is your Company's most efficient Superintendent, Mr. Gaujot. 
 
 During my, recent visit to Europe, I examined into the 
 question of the arsenic markets ; and without entering into 
 details, I may say that I find there will be no difficulty what- 
 ever in marketing all the arsenic the Company can produce, 
 and at figures which will render it a much more profitable 
 product than I had estimated. The plans for tlie roasting- 
 furnaces and chlorination-works are now under considf ration, 
 and the work will be ready as early as the completion of 
 the concentrating mill. 
 
 Kespectfully submitted, 
 
 R. P. ROTHWELL, 
 
 Consulting Engim-or.
