Col, charges that the Enterprise Mining
Company, in which good deal of Pittsburg
money is invested, is paying dividends out
of the mines OF its neighbors. notably the
Rico-Aspen Company. "It has been an open
secret" says the Neacs, "that from the mo-

field they met with the antagonism of the
Enterprise, but no one believed that
anything more would take place than q
business rivalry. 1t was like thunderbolt

Posey outfit were mining on the Rico Aspen

begins to look as if the Enterprise have
