A number of mines in Taylor District
were virtually sold last week for $50, 900,
but it was busted out slick and clean y

to bring it to head. Everything was
perfectly satisfactory until after the
papers were made out and then he con-
cluded he didn't want to sell, and this
after inducing the purchaser to come all
the way from Ohio. Child's play of this
character is well calculated to damage
any district no matter how bright its
prospects may be.

been indefinitely postponed.
