Yesterday, Scott Lewis of the <br />Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Company, told me that any future contact with <br />your office should be made to you. <br />I do not know if my last 2 letters to Mr. Dillie have been forwarded to you or not. So, I <br />am sending this to you, to bring you up to date on our situation. <br />Since February of last year we have been trying to deal with the Cripple Creek and <br />Victor Mining Company on the blasting they do.

And ask, with shock on <br />their faces, "What was that!!!!" <br />We agree, as we always have, that the blasts have not exceeded the levels in their <br />permit. We are concerned, however, that our property and others, here in Victor are <br />outside their permit area. We are concerned that the blasts, may, in time, damage <br />some of the wonderful hundred year old properties in Victor. And believe me, having <br />
