The eonsummation of the deal hing
ed ON the report of the engineers sent

new mining propositions. and while he
has every confidence in the Judgment
of his representative, he wanted to sec
for himsei.. That is why he made the
trip to the camp, that is why he lost
no time in seeing that Foley got the
money when ne returned home yester-
day Foley bought the ground early

about its value. He stands in with
the purchasing crown for an interest,
