E. W. Robinson, of Necedah, is here
on business connected with developing
the Kolter property in the town of
Texas, in hopes of striking a paying
vein of iron ore. In addition to the
old Kolter property he has secured
options on surrounding lands owned by
the following parties f. M. Genrich,
r. w. Jawort, E. Fitzpatrick, L. E.
Powers, Julia Priebe, Jos. Susor and
Caroline Wendorf He claims to have
sufficient financial backing to develope
the property and will incorporate a
company within short time. He also
says that diamond drill will be used
shortly in determining the lead of ore
veins, if any there are. The Kolter
property has been explored on numer-
Gus occasions and yet ore in paying
quantities has never been found and to
those who are familiar with conditions

is like locating will-o' the-wisp.

will probably later attempt to organize
a company for the manufacture of paper
