The plant wal be of twenty-five

on ore from his Joe and Jennie mine
at Rociada through Mr.. Standish' test
plant and the results were SO fiatter-
ing hat he Immediately made a
proposition to Mr.. Standish to erect a
mill in I , city which would be OF
commercial benef+ to themselves as
well as to the town.
By the terms of the contract, Mr.
Matt furnishes the money Tor the ma
chinery and becomes a partner in the
patent. They propose to S the city
for a location, either by deed of gift
or long term lease, rent free, but
further than that nothing will be call
ed for.
