Negotiations Off
In Mining Deal
It was authoritatively announced
yesterday that the negotiations be
tween S. A. Cutting and A. H.
Monroe are off. It had been known
for several days that they had
been discussing terms whereby Mr.
Monroe's Hoosier creek interests
would be acquired by Mr. Cutting
and associates, and rumor had it
that the deal had been concluded.
It is thought now, however, that
there will be no further overtures
from either side.
Mr. Monroe’s interests are known
to be valuable, and it was expected
in case the transfer was made prep
arations would be begun to work
the ground on a larger scale.
Mi*. Monroe to Go Out.
A. H. Monroe, the Hoosier creek
mining man, lias decided to go out
side tor tlie winter, at least. Mr.
Monroe has worked long and hard
in bringing *o a productive stage
his mining interests in this district;
and now, with his confidence in the
worth of his holdings fully Justified
by the results, he finds his health
impaired and thinks he deserves a
rest.
G. II. Wand is empowered to
look after Mr. Monroe’s affairs
during his absence.
