1t is understood negotiations are under way for
a mining deal. which will give F. Augustus Heinze
Senator Thomas Kearns. j. B. Keith and other
associates complete control OF the Silver King

Thomas F. Cole and John d. Ryan went over the
Silver King properties and took an option at
figure something in of S3.5G000O. This option
was not exercised. because no understanding could
be reached at that time for the settlement of the
litigation between the Silver King and the Nc
Gregor interests. There is to believe that
the proposed Heinze combination has effected a
complete settlement of these differences. and that
the McGregor interests will all be included In the
deal.
