O. A. Turner, and the article was
written by Charles Turner, who was
on the geological survey. and whom
knew quite well, he having his
headquarters at one time in Denver,
Colo said 10 o. A. Turner before
leaving that the Coe mining property
was a failure and | should recon-
mend the closing of it, and requested
him to go down to Tonopah and Sc
cure an option on the property long
enough for me to go out and examine
the same, and if it was satisfactory
there would be no trouble in pur-
chasing it. then left for Denver
and forwarded my report to Phila-

In the meantime Turner had
written a letter to John Woodsides

property was satisfactory to me, and

went to Sodaville, New and came ou
to the camp on one of the old over
land stages. and after remaining II
the camp six days | said to Mr. But
Ter. on Wednesday evening, that
