Mr.. Nye represented he had a mill built there with
the machinery ready to go into operation! Tue
only reason he alleges for It's not being at work was
the scarcity OF water And yet there Is no question
that no mil has been built there, no machinery put
there, nothing done there but 4 dltcn uus WRONG
end up, laughter a few logs cut; and all this Is sO
well Known that proof on the subject might DC
deemed supertiuOuS.
