Mulatto Mine Saga and Political Nominations
The Aguayas brothers claim control of the Mulatto mine after a void title and have thrived since. Hearst offered 2 million for it years ago, but the sale to an English syndicate for £660,000 has occurred. Ivis says the property could yield 2 million annually. Republicans aim to cast doubt on Cleveland’s renomination, but insiders say he would accept if offered. The Dougherty county bond election for a Flint bridge is upheld by the Supreme Court and a quick construction is anticipated.

He argued that a man who has journeyed fifteen miles may have a drink on the Sabbath, while a 7000 mile traveler should be allowed as many as he wishes. The barmaid and landlord disputed the logic but admitted the sailor’s long voyage.
