IDAHO ASSOCIATION SECURED
BY TOM AITKIN YESTERDAY
Yesterday a deal was consummated whereby Thomas P. Ait
ken became the owner of an 11-12 interest in the Idaho association,
a lay on the same association which has still a year to run, and a
1-3 interest in the Flat Iron fraction- All the ground is located at
the head of Flat creek.
Aitken took an option on the Idaho from Tommy Forrest and
E. H. Slenter about six weeks ago, since which time active pros
pecting has been in progress. While the results of the latter are
not known for a certainty, it is understood that some of the ground
has turned out phenomenally rich and far above expectations.
The 13 interest in the Flat Iron fraction was purchased from
E H. Slenter. The lay on the Idaho was purchased from E. II. (
Slenter and Frank Stanley, who bought in last fall.
The purchase consideration is not known, but is believed to
approach $20,000. The owner of the 1 12 not sold is Luther Hess, j
phe Fairbanks banker. |
Tt is reported that negotiations are proceeding between John
Holmgren and Michie & Ingels for the purchase of the latter’s
interest in the Upgrade association, at the head of flat.
Just prior to leaving Iditarod Duncan Michie secured a 7-8 in
terest in the Upgrade on very favorable terms,—$a,000 cash, and
the balance to be taken out of the ground until a total of $28,000 j
had been paid fur the property. It is now reported that Holmgren
will take over the deal for a total consideration of $J2,000.
Michie & Ingels secured the ground from Mitchell, Wiig &
Olson, and it included all of the Upgrade except an 1-8 owned by
G. jr Kilroy- Kilroy sold all his interests in this district to Holrn
gren early this week._________

By Cyril P. Wood, Agent.
EATH claimeth its victims here, there and every
where—
Spares not the statesman, philanthropist, pious
nor saint
In its lust, some unmatured, barely abloom, suddenly
cut down unaware,
Upon the old and invalid, greedily it shows no mercy
or restraint.
’Way at the Holy Land, to our philosopher and studious
father
Death beckoned to cease perturbing Talmudical mystery
Which close on four scores’ penetration ended then and
there,
And the master mind succumbed, as all mortals of his
tory.
To the memory of our beloved parent departed,
We dedicate at the shrine our stunned, aching hearts
Which, during Life’s breath, shall beat sacredly
The virtues of our revered father and angel mother—
both departed.
