He directed his attentions especial | ly to the entries that have been made | by a number of corporations during I the past few years. It is said the in yestigation will not end here. but that MT. Corson win visit the lands in | question. gathering data of the char acter of the soil to determine | whether !t is mineral bearing ground or more suitable for agriculture.
