A MERE WOMAN
POTS ONE OVER
Guggenheim* by Buying the Key
to Flat Creek, Where the
Latter Are Dredging
The Guggenheim options «>n
Otter creek are now hanging fire,
not in any way due lo the fact (hat
the big syndicate is unwilling to
option all the ground in sight on
that creek, but that the owners
are all making big money at the
present time, and are not at all
anxious to sell. They are now
asking §800,000 from the Gug
genheims for their ground, and
the latter rocogni/.e* that it is
quite useless to offer less at the
present time. The Guggenheim.-;
do not. conceal their anxiety to
close a deal but the price asked
they stale, while it may be war
ranted by the success which is at
tending the work which the pres
ent owners arc doing. is nut of the
question ;«s far as they aro eon
corned.
