FRESHFORD GOLD DREDGING COMPANY
TO THE EDITOR. ' Sib,— -Referring to “ Fair Play’s ” recent letter consequent upon my previous letter relative tb the Freshford Dredging Company, it appears that he is well acquainted with the history of the company’s property, yet both he and the com-, pany have failed to explain or reply to the main issue in my letter —viz., Why a successful dredge like the Muddy Creek dredge made no effort to develop and work the Freshford Company’s present claim which lay adjacent and when (according to the Freshford prospectus) the’ richest leads ran into this property? In reply‘to “Fair Play” this inactivity* on the part of the Muddy Creek dredge was a reason why the prospecting party, whose activities he acknowledges, did not waste much time in boring—that, and’ the yield from the first hole, at the top of the property, bottomed at 16 feet. Why has this immensely rich property (according to the prospectus) lain untouched until 1932? —I am, etc., “Interested (No Further). Dunedin, July 9. ’
