cited over the repotted strike of gold

here, today, no one has seen the mine
from which specimens of ore were
taken where the rich strike is sup-
posed to have been made
It Is rumored that one of the prln-

year ago when on" the strength of
samples taken he secured unite a sum
of money for development purnoses.
The mine never showed any profit. An

the belief that the samples shown here
haw not been taken from the same
locality. He base his opinion on the
dissimilarity of composition " of the
