Grafton" indicated by the annexation
of more than two ciphers to the right
of any one of the digits. The reason
| for this is the fact that most all of the
developed properties are in the hands
: of ''bonders," who are endeavoring to
, transfer them to capitalists of the East
and West. 1t is difficult to learn the |
number of mines which are being
placed before tie eyes of capital this
:: winter by these honders, or, perhaps,
Y the owners themselves, but it is, no
doubt. large, and in all probability the
e records of the county, as far as titles
s are concerned, will present quite
:, different appearance by spring.
