that territory to public prospecting within the
next few days.
When on January H. it was made known that
the Greene concession had lapsed. hundreds Of
miners from all parts of the country rushed to
Chihuahua. where many claims imme-
diately staked out. To the discontinue of the
prospectors the local officers refused to file
claims on that part of the state included in the
expired Greene concession. This action is due
to the fact that an investigation is under way
to determine if Colonel Greene fulfilled the terms
of his contract with the government.
