A 40 acre and a 60 acre lot, from DL361 was sold to Lazelle & Little (Lazelle was married to Helen Little - George's sister) but it seems $190.90 came from Little for ties, and $803.38 from Lazelle for the land. (Frank Lazelle Bio) $88.45 was paid for taxes.
The $905.83 was divided between Albert D. Durham- $ 542.00, Truman Smith Baxter- $ 113.23 and the same $113.23, to Charles Durham, (Usk) James Darius Wells (James Darius Wells Bio)and Roger S. Greene Jr. for a total of $905.83.
There were some dealings like this on Lot 362 also, Only James Darius Wells was not included. (He was a mining partner of C. Durham at Kitselas at the Golden Crown)So now we are looking for A. D. Durham.
more mysteries to research.
