A good deal of excitemsnt. has been
created by a recent strike made on the
claim adjoining the Great Eastern, in
the vicinity of Ajax hill. 1t was made
by Mr.. A. G. Smith, who has interested
with him Messrs. White and Cans. 1t
is claimed that the discovery was made
by means of the divining rod, or as
miners call it, the "hoodoo stick"
Certain is it, that at the point at
which Mr.. Smith began sinking, the
surface showed no indication of min
eral, nor in fact a cropping of any
kind. Trusting IN the "hoodoo," how
ever, work was begun, and at the
depth of three feet, the workmen en-
countered a ledge of grey carbonate,
from which assays have been had run
ming as high as $1,000 in silver and
$40 in gold. About thirty tons of ore
have already been taken out, the ore
dump being much larger than the
waste dump. The bottom of the shaft
IS now all in ore, and the indications
point to one of the greatest mineral
discoveries ever made in the camp
Tombstone Epitaph.
