A big deal has just been closed in the
Seven Devils country by which some lead

the Peacock Farm and White Mountain
claims and other properties, the consid-
Grafton being nearly half a million of dol
lars. Ex-Governor Hauser of Montana
was one of the original owners OF the
property sold, having held them 20 years.
1t is understood that a great amount of
capital will be invested in preparing to
work the properties, including the con-
struction of a railroad in from Weiser,
about 80 miles. The properties in ques-
tion have had little development work
done on them, but there are such extern
sive groupings in sight that preliminary
work to show that great property was
there ready for capital to realize upon has
not been necessary.
