ative of the local contributors to By
ron who made the trip north states
that previous to the war Byron was
offered 100000 for the copper hold
ings in question and that he will soon
accept an offer of 100000 from an
unnamed mining firm for the prop
erty.
Shows Delay Deal
The investigator further reports
that in conversations with officials
of the mining firm which he says has
made the offer of purchase, he was
told that the company would close
the deal as soon as possible and that
final action had been delayed because
of the fact that the snow was so
deep in the vicinity OF Byron's hold
ings that representatives Of the COM
pany had been unable to reach it for
the purpose of making a thorough In
vestigation of the property.
Referring to the Byron case In gem
erai. the local investigator declares
that he (Byron) is the victim Of per-
secution by members Of the Benson
Hyde ring. because he is locating peo
pie upon claims with which they OPP
Grated previous to the famous land
fraud exposure which checked their
activities.
Every Salem person who contract
ed with Byron for location on claim
and paid him money on the contract
will get the money back" says the To-
cal investigator. Byron told me that
the money he got in Salem is still in
tact and will be paid back as soon as
he gets his liberty and can get at the
money
