Shareholders of the Duthie Alines were advised today that funds for development were being supplied by the Atlas Exploration Company and the Mines Issues Corporation of Toronto. To provide for the necessary financing the directors will at once -increase the capital to 32,000,000 by the creation of a million new shares of $1 each' which will be issued to the two eastern companies. J. D. Duthie retains his full interest in the property and remains president. C. A. Banks has been appointed man aging director. A wide development program is planned to start immediately and during the work the mill operations will stop for probably three months and dividend payments cease temporarily. Senator George P. Graham is president of the Atlas Exploration Company. Major C. B. North, superintendent of the B. C. Silver, is at present at the Diithie mine on behalf of C. A. Banks making arrangements for operations under the new company. There has been great excitement at Smithers over the deal and there is considerable gratification there over the fact that the Duthie interests, who have already made the mine one of the outstanding properties in the north, are to continue to be identified with it.
