Like to clarify something, I did not promtp Rick to bring this thing up. we kicked this thing around a couple of years ago for something for downtownj that1s how come he happened to know about it. Coming back to the paper, when Jack talked to me about that as to whether or not we would participate on the set-up, he later came in and told me that they did not plan to publish the paper there, but to be published in Virginia City and then just sent up there. If it isn?╟╓t going to be published there where people can see the old press working, we lost interest in it ourselves. GENE MURPHYi Well, as I understand that aspect of it, to begin with, tlitt'. press doesn?╟╓t even work, and in order to produce the number of papers they hope to sell, you have to have a highspeed press.
