The big mining sale of Colonel
Jas. A. McFadden's Yankee Fork
mine. situated on Estes noun
tain, near Custer and Bonanza,
took place in Challis last Friday,
and a large amount of money
was paid over by Mr.. Walker, of
Boston, who has been here foI
the past three weeks examining
the county records. The prop
erty was purchased by a wealthy
! Boston syndicate, and the price
paid, we are reliably informed,
was 800, 900. This is one of the
most important mining sales thai
has been transacted in Custer
county for a number of years
and it is snug little sum OF
money for the Colonel in his old
age, but he has labored untiring-
ly developing the Yankee Forl
for many years, battling agains
the ups and downs of life, anC
is truly deserving the reward o
his labor. This sale means mucl
to Custer county, as the new
company will commence active
work on the property next spring
on large scale. The Yankee
Fork has developed into one o
Custer county's best paying
! mines, and now, with plenty OF
capital TO operate the property,
the future of this mine is very
bright indeed.
