Show 3681 Hyde- RD 1703 Q Whereabouts is the particular land covered by your permit? A Well, I will tell you; it's a consolidated permit, it is in different sections, you see; if you will allow me to explain, I can explain that to you. Q Yes, sir. A We had this land, took it up under the Placer Act a good many years ago. And after this Act of 1922 -- was it? Q 1920, I think. A Well, whenever it was, they allowed us to consolidate that into one permit; it was scattered around in different places over the field, but it was consolidated into one permit; we organized it, and called it the Bluff Oil Company. Q Are there other stockholders in the company besides you and your brother? A Yes sir, quite a number of them. Q Mr. Hyde, I don't think I asked you what your present occupation is. A My present occupation? Q Yes. A Well, I have been mining more or less in recent years, quartz mining. MR. BLACKMAR: That is all, Mr. Hyde. |
