Box 17304 <br />Boulder, Colorado 80308-0304 <br />Re: Gold Hill Mill, File No. M-83-141 - Partial Transcript from <br />the January 25, 1995 Mined Land Reclamation Board Hearing <br />Dear Mr. Hartley: <br />On January 25, 1995 the Mined Land Reclamation Board issued Notice <br />of Violation and Board Order No. M-95-001 to COM, Inc. and Mi Vida <br />Enterprises, Inc.
