A FOUR FOOT VEIN.
suiphurets Giittering with Cold
Mineral Of Extraordinary Richness.


One of the best "strikcs" that has
perhaps ever been made ON tho North
Side, or what l. termed tho gold belt
of the CUur ~ Alencs was made last
week in Frank Reeds lIucEcyo hoy
lode at the head of Dream gulcl. About
a month ago the Buckeye group of mine,
were honded by II. G. Mcdowell, Major
II. /" Hopkins and Others, and active
exploitation was commenced under the
direction Of Major Hopkins. What is
termed the lower tunnel was pushed
ahead with Il day and night shin, and
ran for 900 feet through hard slate, A
portion OF this had been rtin by Frank
Reed himself. A cross drift west for 80
feet had also been run by Mr.. Reed
through hard slate, In the face OF
the main tunnel, however, an upraise
of ~ feet was made, and this led into
some former workings OF Mr.. Reed,
where splendid fiat vein of ribbon
quartz, four feet In kneSs, exists,
which can now be drained and worked
through this tunnel. This ledge pitches
at tcw degrees incline into the hill, and
is of itself large body OF good quartz.
But all hope OF finding the mother ledge
from this tunnel wUs almost abandoned,
and Major Hopkins directed some work
200 feet higher up the gulch. \ tunnel
was started and short distance IN u
vein was encountered, standing about
- degrees, which at the time uf
our visit, Wednesday afternoon. showed
a gangue four feet in width, with
perfect hanging wall This ganguc
is composed OF strcakS Of white
quartz and clay, both quartz and clay
being charged with an cxtraordinary
amount Of rich sulphuret-. We say
rich sulphurcts, because We picked "A
handful of the gnnguC across the ledge,
punned IL and secured about two ounces
OF Sulphurcts. These sulphurcts showed
spccks OF free gold, aud on being burned
"A mass of gold was visible 10 the naked
eye. How wide the ledge Is has not bccn
determined, Its course Is northwest and
southeast, which takes II directly acres,
the gulCh, Tho nature aud gdnguc Of
the vein makes IL almost accrtuinty that
the mother ledge of Reeds locations
has been found. MIR Reed has been
searching for this ledge for four years,
and his work on tho Buckeye Boy
lode alone will aggregate about Hr
feet in shafts and tunnels lie
has uncovered great deal of quartz,
some OF It of extraordinary richness, hut
the main ledge, which was to give per.
manency to the property, seemed 10 be
undi-coyerlblc. We believe II has ~
last been found, and that its discovery j.
one of the best strikes ever made here,
for II insures In the near future work, of
an extensive character and the employ.
ment of large force of men. MIR Reed
is aboutto be rewarded for his faith and
extremely hard work, and we doubt II
any other minor In the history of the
camp has struck more hard blows to
wrcst fortune from the hand rock. His
shafts and tunnels are monuments Of his
industry, and they show what man
with will can accomplish Further dc.
velopments on the Buckeye will be
watched with interest.

FOR the past week the owners of tho

been In town, The management Of this
mine have been handicapped in all
directions, from foul air and imperfect
transportation facilities TO iniunctions
and the opposition Of railroads.
Still Mr.. Ryan has never for a moment
lost faith hi this property. He be-
lieyes that the Hunter Is great minc,
and that beneath the rim Of yonder hill
lies abnormal wealth. He further is de-
termincd that If money can bring 1t to
the light of day 1t shall be done, II
has never been doubted by experts in
this vicinity shat this Is an enormous
property; and at this stage It + a tritlc
refreshing to hear Mr.. Ryan say that
within six weeks we will see the lnger-
soil power drills In active operation In
the mine and the conccntrator running
night and day, II is impossible to get
the ore out fast enough by hand to
satisfy the cravings of the mill, hence
the power drills,

deserves great credit for the able manner
In which he looks after the affairs of the
company; and with his licutenants,

tsfEcIAL TELEGRAM TO TIRE REVIEW.
OLYMpIA, Wash, July i5.-The tide
land question absorbed most of the two
hours session of the convention to-day,
or rather the question as to whether the
Judiciary committee should give some
Information relative thereto TO the com.
mittee on state, county and granted
lands, which has charge of the subject.
Appropos to this question, Lieutenant J.
Il. kencie of the United States army ar
rived in the city this evening from San
Francisco with instructions from the
secretary Of war, through General Miles,
commanding this department, to see the
members Of the convention relative to
tide lands, and prevent private parties
from squattinc on said lands in front of
military reservations OF where tortitca-
tions are being built, as there has been
considerable trouble In this respect in
California and other states. The various
committees of the convention are hard
at work and the reports from them will
begin to pour into the convention in q
day or two.
