A Section Of Jefferson County hat Con-
tains Many Good Mines.
A correspondent of the Boulde. Age, in
She last issue Of that paper, touches OF q
rich section of jefferson county, one about
which little is heard, bus that contains

About one mile south of the East Pacific
Ia the Great Western, owned by Joseph
Sentence. 1t is developed by q tunnel 100
feet long, run in on the vein. The vein is
six feet between the walls and about two
feet of ore which runs SIS per ton in gold.
MIR. Sentence intends to develop the mine
this summer SO it will be ready to put upon
years experience in quartz mining and is
believed and trusted as q judge Of quartz.
He developed and sold the East Pacific to
Winston Bros. X Kendrick and has made
other sales which rank him as q successful
prospector.
The Freiburg ~ located about a fourth of
. mile from the East Pacific. is owned by
Lewis Zickler, and is developed by tunnels,
he having run over 1000 feet in all. At
present he is working in q tunnel about 300
feet, with two feet of mixed ore in the
face. He has taken out considerable ore in
RAINING these tunnels, which has brought
him good returns and has enabled him to
continue development work, and success
will soon crown his efforts, or signs and in
dicRtions are no marks by which to judge.
Mr.. Zickler has four claims, two on the
east extension OF the East Pacific. Both
have q fine showing. He has done $3.50

has q shaft tifty-ive feet deep. Surely
