The above item has been going the
rounds Of the press Of the coast for
some time. II does not fairly represent
what the Nrws said On the subject Of
expected Developments on the Comstosk.
Some three weeks siacs there was
made in these columns mention Of the
general plan Of development which has
been marked out for the mines. from

Al to the time required for all this
work, the Nxws said
"Ths work above outlined. and 20

The. following alss appeared in the

II will be seen from the foregoing that
the Nrws expects the development OF an
