In mentioning the Mineral Hill mining
property owned by Messrs. Barker, Plum
mer and Spencer we referred to 1t as be-
longing to the Christie Company. The
fact is this company went out of existence
more than six months ago, and the mines
since that time have been, and are now,
the property Of the gentlemen named
above. We believe that they appreciate the
worth OF their Mineral Hill mines and will
work them. Mr.. Barker. who is here at
present on business connected with the
property, expects to remain in these parts
fore some time.

rather than let it go to enrich certain in
