having been secured by that
well known promoter, Mr. An
gus McDougall, representing
New York capitalists.
The consideration is seventy
five thouaand dollars.
Associated with Neil Finneson
is Oacar Breedman. Notwith
standing the hardships that
has confronted Mr. Finneson in
developing this property, in a
region lacking in trails and
