interest of mica and asbestos. He
has been to the placesof Thos. Hole,
Samuel Rierson, B. E. Mabe, Mr.
Bondurant, Bam Simmons, Bill
and Guss Martin, Richard Forest
and Mr. Stedman. He made any
kind of contracts he could with
them, and said that if the parties
would let him in that the company
would start to work inside of 90
days, and if they found enough to
justify them they would run a rail-1
road from Madision up through
this country. From what the writer
can learn they are going to Itegin
work at Mr. B. E. Mate's first.
Steadman offered Mr. Mabe SI,OOO
for the mien, or $1,500 for the
land and all. It looks like there
are some of the parties that he
