FROM a party who recently visited |
Comet District we CLEAN the following:
The mines look very well for the amount
of work done on them. Clark & Willett's
claim shows some good ore in the drift
running south, and there is ore in the
bottom of the shaft, which is about 90
feet deep. The ledge is narrow but rich.
Prudential & Co.'S claim is on the same
ledge, but is further down the hill. They
have shaft about 65 feet deep and
drifts both ways on the ledge about 80
feet from the top. The ledge carries ore
as far as prospected, of fair grade, but
pay ore is only found in spots. The
bottom of the shaft is all in low grade
ore, averaging about SIS per ton, with
narrow but very rich seams of soft ore
running through it. Our informant Wis.,
tied all the mines on which any work
had been done, except the old Comet
mine, and thinks the that they will
all get better with depth. While there
| he experienced the novel sensation of
coasting down hill with no snow on the
| ground, and going almost fast enough to
take his breath away. All the mine
owners are preparing for the winter
getting in supplies Of food, tools, ETC., as
it is almost impossible to get to town
after snow flies.
CGUR D'ALESE.-John Simpson, who
has been up in the Caur d'Alene country
the past summer, returned last Saturday
night. He stated that when he left there
that there was being taken out consider
able gold. The miners there were paid
four dollars a day, but Just before he
started on his return to Pioche the men
working on the Widows claim were re-
duced to three dollars per day. There
are number of good paying claims in
the country, while there are also very
many that it will cost two dollars for
every dollars worth of gold taken out.
The Mother Lode" on Pritchard Creek,
had been bonded to Denver, Colorado,
parties, for $4,000 or 800, 900; he was
not positive which. The day that he
left they started in to make test of the
ore. Simpson brought small phial o.
gold with him. 1t is very coarse. just
the kind fellow likes to wash out o.
dirt.
