Mail: About two month ago when the
Gold Coin syndicate discontinued its work
inRs it was surmised that the reason there
for was lack of confidence in the property,
but such was not the reason, and the true
facts are as follows: When Charles Clark
first thought of buying the property he en-
gagged ]. II. Maokey to transact the bust
ness with owners of the various claims,
which he did in good faith, and with the
understanding that he should retain one
eighth interest in all the property belong
ing to the syndicate. which consists OF
eight full claims. Later on some misun-
MIR. Mackey and since no agreement could
be made satisfactorily to both parties. Mr..
Clark closed down the works. and has since
that time been figuring on a settlement
with Mr.. Mackey, and within the past week
final settlement was made, Mr.. Mackey
accepting the snug little sum of SIC, 900
cash for his one-eighth interest. and Mr..
Clark will now, in all probability, 70 ahead
with the Developments.
The development done thus far consists
of a double compartment shaft sunk nearly
200 feet, and the next advancement made
