promising gold producers Of the south

The gentlemen in company with John
Fayel, one of the owners OF the famous

the Golden Summit and spent the day
in looking over the property. A rumor
was current in the city to-day to the ef-
feet that the owners Of the Golden Sum.

purchasers of the Holy Terror, but
nothing authentic was learned with re-
