VERY VALUABLE PROPERTIES.
Milling Facilities are Very Badly Needed
The Touch Of the Capitalist Can
Unlock Untold Treasures

supplied with timber and water-Oueen's
river supplying at least three hundred
inches of water the year round-that any
sort of mining or milling machinery could
be run at very light expense.
There are at present: 1.-The Alvina
lode, easily traced upon the surface dis
lance of 700 feet showing width of from
seven to ten feet, the groupings at any
place giving assay returns of from SIS to
$50 per ton; and in tunnel 245 feet to
where it taps the lode and about one hun
dred and fifty feet from the surface, the
quartz returns $45; at another point on the
ledge, in an open cut, where the ledge is
eight feet from wall to wall, there is a
twenty-inch pay streak that runs from S12O
to Sl66 per ton-the balance of the eight
feet going on an average of about thirty
four dollars.
THE PAY is IN THE sULPHURETs
principally, and the ore of this ledge, as
we'll as all others of this district. will con
centrate easily, and up to high per cent
Next in size is the CraigmoOr lode, which
is very uniform in width, being on an aver
age about six feet, and traceable upon the
surface OF 500 feet On this property there
has been something like 700 feet of tunnel
ing done, the ore giving ASSAYS of 81. 50 20
SIG, S31, and in one place, a pay streak from
three to four inches wide on the foot wall,
going $3.50, while the ledge from said paw
streak to the hanging wall "a distance of
about three and a half feet-ayerages S35
per ton.
On the opposite side of the hill from the
Cralgmoor Is the Craig location, and be-
yond doubt this is nothing less than the
lower margin Of the Craigmoor, as the
incline of the Craig is in exact line with
the dip OF the Craigmoor, the groupings of
the two Being at least two hundred feet
apart, and showing about the same width
from wall to wall. The assays from the
Craig, however, do not go higher than
from $3.50 to $50. but as the ledge is only
opened at two points-one tunnel 26O feet
to the face. from where there is raise
that cuts through the ledge, and the other
an open cut-thereis every probability that
it will show up far more valuable in other
places along the deposit.
THESE THREE LOCATIONS
are on the west while on the east side of
the river and within about four hundred
yards, on an air line, there are two others.
Wis: The Hayward has tunnel, running
3OO feet to the face, from which there is a
tapped as yet, although a very few feet
further would open up the same, as there
is an incline shaft sunk forty odd feet i'm
mediately over the tunnel which sho US
plenty OF quartz. This lode is about four
and half feet in width from wall to wall,
and runs S35 to the ton, although there was
pay streak of some three or four inches
taken out in sinking the shaft that milled
over three hundred dollars per ton
the same vein. south, having a tunnel 100
feet in length, but not yet far enough to
strike the ledge.
South OF these mines and adjoining the
Carothers' claim, is the Letitia lode, having
tunnel driven nearly hundred and fiftV
feet, from which there has been very rich
ore extracted, going as high as $500 per
ton.
Immediately south of the Letitia is the
Fins lode claim. This ledge is rather DIFF
ticult to decipher from the fact that
THERE ARE SEVEN TUNNELS
driven into the hill within its boundary
lines, embracing an altitude, as one ascends
the hill from No. l to No. tunnel, of per
haps $50 feet, and in six of the seven tun-
nels there are well defined quartz Lodges
carrying pay ore frsm $40. so to 800 per ton,
chiefly in gold and free milling mostly, al
yields very rich sulphurets. That two of
the tunnels tap one ledge with about
seventy feet altitude between them, is a
fact; that two others have each separate
ledge of its own to show for the work done
is also fact; but as to whethe- the other
two that show lodges are on one and the
same or on separate lodes, is guess
Where exposed these lodges show up well
defined width of from twenty inches to
four and half feet respectively.
The last named mine is the only one that
has milled ore to any extent. 1t being
mostly free-milling rock, there was a
chance to make money out of it even in the
early days, when these properties were
worked
THE PLANT ERECTED
for the reduction of this gold ore was an
early day Huntington two stamp rocker
mill, copper plate process, capable of crush
ing not over two hundred tons per day.
There was not to exceed hundred tons of
ore worked, aud rock that did not go $50 or
more was never taken ont.
There has been at least 1900 feet of tuu-
neling, drifting, raising and sinking done
upon this property, into, alcrg and by
quartz that goes from Sl4 to $50 per ton
and it to day remains exposed to sight, no
attempt having been made to work it for
years. Whys Because they, in those DAYS,
thought it would not pay.
If fifty-stamp mill, with concentrating
machinery to handle the ore crushed, was
erected on Little Queens river, where
there is abundance of water to run it the
year round, twenty miners could keep the
ore chute for such a mill running over ten
years to come upon ore now in sight that
would concentrate from Sc to SIS per ton.
THESE MINES.
have not been worked for the past ten or
twelve years, and until recently were
owned by different parties located all over
the country, but now the entire property is
owned by Mr.. G. W. Joy, of Atlanta, Idaho
We are in hopes, for the good of the coun-
try at large and Mr.. Joy in particular, that
he may be able, in the near future, to place
these excellent mining properties in the
hands of some enterprising company or
capitalist that will push the work to the
advantage of all concerned.
1t needs only the touch of the capitalist
to make Gilmore one of the most productive
gold bearing sections of the Pacific. slope,
and it would not surprise US next spring to
not only hear the cry: ION to Atlanta !"
but also "Ou to Queens river, and let Joy
be unconfned"
The fact of the business of the Troy
Steam Laundry constantly increasing is
sufficient evidence that its work is superior
to all others in its line.
