of men doing assessment and develop
ment work for himself and Lieut. Gov.
Poujade.

upon prospects near the Point of the
mountain, and the outlook for this Sec

ing there, Clark has been representing
some prospects there and bids us to keep
an eye on that district for awhile.

between the Yuba and the old Mazeppa.
The ground belongs to the p C. M. &
K. Co., and Is being worked on lease by
Brown and Berto.h.
Jim McFadden has couple of men
! working on the Challenge, over the hill
from Jackrabbit. They are driving
tunnel to strike the ledge at depth of
about l40 feet, and are now nearly to
where the ledge is expected to be struck.
A shaft sunk to depth of 80 feet reveals
ore going 80 to 40 ounces in silver and
carrying about the same per cent of lead.
w. R. McFadden & Co. have q nice
looking prospect on the Point about four
miles from town in the direction of High.
land. They are down about eight feet,
and the bottom Of the shaft is all in ore
of high grade. No assays have yet been
made, and competent judges estimate its
value to be about 200 ounces per tor,
There is great ledge in the Point some-
where. An adjoining claim yielded
some hundreds OF tons of valuable ore
few years ago. The iron of this section
is the best in the country for fuxing pur.
poses.
James G. Nicol has taken lease from
Tom Gillian on the old Michigan mine
near Bristol. and will proceed at once to
work on the property, Mr. Nicol thinks
there is good showing for some pay ore,
and was in town this week getting sup
plies to begin work. No work has been
done on this property for number Of
years, it, like good many others, being
relocated every year, instead of being
represented by labor. When a railroad
comes here and our resources are known
to others, that kind of representing won
do. 1t will have to be done with pick
and shovel and not with a lead pencil.
