It ran $6J to the ton in gold and all-
by Assayer Faasett' from samples sub
mitted to him by Mr. Lindsay. Later

tinued lils investigations with" the re
sult that he declares that the ore sub
mitted to him had been "salted" with
flllnjrs from a coin or other gold metal.
Mr. Lindsay denies having any knowl
