late of New York, writes US from
Yellville concerning the sale of the
Tar Kiln mineral property; 81 made
the neurological examination of
these lands in the presence OF repre-
sentatives of the purchasers and our
examinations demonstrated exceed

Donates and sulphides. To stop the
guessing concerning the price paid [
beg to state to you that the Tar
Kiln property sold for 100000 to
Providence and Boston parties AL

deal located in Southwest Missouri
they would readily command ST.

ined and explored mineral properties
in three counties of your district and

amount of mineral upon the surface,
extent of acreage, and excellent wa
