about two weeks investigation I
necane convinced that the pr-p-
erty was worthless. I obtained
from the so-called vein, which the
committee had examined, a num-
Der OF specimens. and had them
asSayed with the following result.

subsequently secured the

fully satisfied that our people had
been sold out, quickly began to
investigate into the mOduS Oper-

some of the wOrkmen who
lahored at the mine, and | iave in
my possession written statements
from two of them that the mine
was salted with mineral trans
planted from silver-ore producing
mines few miles distant. l have

Jones and TichnOr were parties
to and directed the fraud. This
evidence will he forthcoming be-

time.
These parasites, who endeavor
to live upon the enterprise of
honest communities, are at the

scheme of plunder. l'hey are
now offering properties, similar
