miner, so current rumor says, had
i, ecu offered a combination purso of

him plonty. Ho Ih accused by both
sides in that coiitovorsy of being the
ciiiiho of tho trouble.
Tho Free CoIuiiko was sold five
years ago to Vic SchlllliiR, then city
passoiiKer ngeut of tho O. It. & X.
at Portland, by Bert Husk. He
organized a company, put on a hoist
and did consldorblo work, hut uevor
showed up any ore of much value.
Tho claims are said to be on ono spur
of the Cracker Creek Mother lode.
Homothlug over two years ago Mr.
Schilllug disappeared very suddenly
and mysteriously, and, so far as the
public knows, has never been heard
from since. Ho spent considerable
time tu aud around Sumpter tbreo
or foui years ago and was popular
with every oue.
Ed Cannon, who was nt oue time
interested with Seymour II. Dell in
the electric light plant here, is in
charge of Freo Coluago Mining com
pany affairs at present. The Miner
is Informed reliably that ho paid for
the assessment work last year, aud
Hurt Husk stated today that a notice
is posted on the pioporty, stating
that thu work had been completed.
