THE PASSING OF THE NEGLECTED
GOLD NINE.

In the office of the county clerk and
recorder this morning deed was filed
transferring all right and title of the
ownership from w. ]. Boyle, James
Dennison. F. Fl. Rivers and j. ]. Cor
man to three-fourths interest in the
Neglected gold mine to u. A. Norton
of Denver. Time this afternoon pre-
vents The Herald from giving as much
space to this transaction as the deal
merits.
1t has been generally known for
some time that Mr.. ]. II. Vandenberg
mining engineer of prominence OF
New York, has been working on this
deal which was closed this morning
by, filing the deed. Mr.. Yandenberg
interested Mr.. Norton, wealthy min
ing operator of Denver, and other mon
led men in this proposition. Knowing
well the real value of the once famous
producer, and after unwaterirg the
mine, thorough examination has been
made by prominent mining engineers
and all came to the one conclusion
that the Neglected was only prospect
ed. though several hundred thousand
dollars have been mined ard shipped
by the men first named.
Every dollar of Indebtedness Ilas
been assumed by the new owners and
in due course of time satisfactory to
the creditors will be paid.
Work has been carried on all sum
mer draining the entire workings, re
timbering and repairing buildings, etc
The county commissioners have
placed the wagon road to the cyanide
mill in splendid shape and from that
point to the mine the road has beer
repaired and rebuilt. The prospectors
and some OF those largely interested
Joined in and helped to the extent they
were able. So that from Durango tc
the Neglected mine an automobile or q
six-horse team can go over the road
with ease and safety.
To Mr.. vandenberg. the orieina
owners and the citizens of Durango
will always be indebted for the man
ner In which he took hold of this
property and got the varied interest,
In working harmony.
All necessary equipment has beer
ordered and will be placed for ar
early resumption and before snow

There is much that can be writer
about this deal-mine and promoters
but when we say that the mine has
changed hands and the new owners
have plenty of money to develop and
place the property in the producing
class 1t is all that the public is inter
