QUARTZ DISCOVERIES NEAR DIXIE
CANYON.
| The new quartz district of which brief
mention was made in the MINER few days
ago, IL. being discovered by Frank Los.
worth and others, Is likely to attract consid.
cradle attention before long. The district
is situated on the summit, to the right Of
Dixie Canyon, which is the northeasterly
branch Of Yankee Doodle Gulch. Several
parties went out to the new district, accom-
panied by an expert from Colorado. to
make an examination. Messrs. A. f. briggs
Il Co. have purchased one-fOurth interest
in the Elite Lester lode in this district, and
have started tunnel, about seven hundred
feet from the summit and intend to push
the work as rapidly as possible. No water
has been tounb yet within 1000 to 5000
feet from the summit, and surface water
will not b. troublesome in prospecting the
new locations to a considerable depth.
