A rel rcsentatiyc of the DISPATCH took
Il day this week and spent it travelling
over the White Horse district in scarci, of
news. Striking ont with one OF Crosbv's
livery TENS towards the ianse q! noun
tains about five or Fix miles north-w est
OF WadaWorlh, after a pleasant drive OF
an honr he am 10 the foot of White
Horse canl on where is located tlle
''Addie G." claim at which he found a
shaft. 1t is being worked by three Mex
leans sent FROM San Jose by interested
capitalists. The shaft was thirtv-ive
feet deep and drifts were run east and
westIn search of II prospect. The result
was the finding Of a three foot ledge OF
gold rock over whirh the miners were
very jnbilant judging by their smiles.
They are close mouthed. Numerous SAM
piles have been sent TO San Jose and the
returns must have been satisfactory
enough to keep the three men delving.
The next prominent claim was the East
Jim Blaine upon which some prospecting
has been done. However as this claim
joins the Jim Blaine it was considered
valuable enough by its owners to lie
offered under a bond of a years time for
$4,000. These figures were given in
compliance to a request made by an ex-
pert who visited the district in the inter-
ests of San Francisco capitalists. The
Pay Car claim was under the same con-
ditions placed at $4,000. These claims
are not developed and the groupings
only p~rospected and assayed.
The Jim Blaine mine owned by Ned
Gregory and being worked under bond
by sacramento people is the father of
claims in the district and the cause of
the excitement at White Horse. A
dozen assays taken from this mine
ranged from $40 to 81 800 per ton in gold
and attracted attention to the district.
The Jim Blaine shaft was down 90 feet
and when it is 100 feet deep, by the
terms OF the bond, prosecuting will com
mence and the width of the ledge will be
determined. Regardless OF the width of
the ledge there is ore enough in sight
to pay double the amount for which the
mine is bonded. But upon the result of
the development Of the Jim Blaine the
future of White Horse in a measure de-
ponds, and for every inch of ledge there
will be a consequent increase In the val
lie OF the mine and corresponding results
over the entire district.
At While Horse City We found a typ
ical young mining camp OF four houses
and lumber for more. 1t is known as
the Coal Camp from the fact that a small
seam OF first-class coal was found at The
point some sevt nteen years ago but after
sinking some $4,000 the finders abandoned
the coal mine.
Touching White Horse City is the
emma l." mine owned by the Wash
elm brothers. Here is a two foot ledge
with some very rich gold rock in it.
This claim promises to pay big from the
surface and some of the specimens tax.
EN- from this ledge would ornament any
cabinet. This claim is held at $50, 900
the owners offering to bond for that
amount. The claim is covered with rich
streaks as indicated by the groupings
and il they come together look out for a
famous mine. Just over the hill are the
Tigers, Black Point and Bi-Metallic
which are held in pool for bond at
$50, 900.
The Washoe Company is running a
tunnel and hope to realize sanguine
expectations in about six weeks. They
have very rich groupings and will strike
the ledge 2O) feet from the surface when
the tunnel is $50 feet. Miners at the
ROYAL are tunneling for the main ledge
which they expect to reach very soon,
in the mean time they are encountering
pay rock right along but are anxious 10
see what it looks like "in there"
The North Broncho is accounted a
"sure thing" with a good ledge crop
