place in that section of NJ ontana.

been sending thousands of dollars to

DREAM MINE AGAIN

A little east or Salem. and III the hills.

erabe amount Of notcricty during the
seventeen gears ii has been under de-
velopment by virtue Of the alleged
dreams OF its discoverer. Bishop John
Koyle was the man who discovered the
property and it lis stated that the various
developments during the seventeen years
OF the propcrtys life have been fore
told by him. always 10 he borne out as
predicted. through the agency OF dream.
Some time ago there was a considerable
amount OF water In the property, and an
other dream was had in which IL was
foretold that sinking to a certain depth
would disclose a 4-inch fissure which
would drain off this water. The latest
development at the property. say those
who know, was the encounteripS Of this
4-lnch fissure and the unwaterinS OF the
deep levels as predicted
SO far tho dream mine has no ore, but
II has been foretold that ore Will be
had before the treasury stock Is ex-
hausted- The company has never levied
an assessment. securing funds by way OF

employed at the present time. Reports
from the way OF Salem say that there
has been quite q scramble for some OF
the treasury stock since the 4-inch lls-
sure was hit.
So far, therefore, it is q dream mine,
but not q dream OF mine.
