The Wilkinson property, the NE z
OF SE 4 of section SO 4S-3S, has

entire interest in tire property is now
in the -Mather people.
The price is not mentioned i'm the

thereto indicate that price OF $780,
900 was paid the Wilkinson people for
their half OF the property. II has been
claimed right along that the divided
ownership made II impossible to do
anything with this property and now
that the Pickands- -Mather people have
acquired the entire interest It Is
thought that some action will be taken

That a mine exists on the property
is shown up in the Carpenter. The
property line between the Carpenter

breast of ore for a distance OF over
