From the Nichols paper:
He (Paul Holder) was eventually convicted of felony grand theft in June 1978 for raising money for a mine that did not exist.
He was able to get away from this because Western Ore never really owned the property the mine was on. In fact, no one owned the property the mine was on. Holder had never really filed a claim on the land – just a 90 day "notice of intent to certify a claim" under sundry names (since it can only be done once under each name). In other words, the mine never existed to begin with. It was a big con job. Stevens was now out of luck, having only his prophetic living word to stand on.
Tmason you say tomato and I say potato. We agree to disagree.
