There are AZ least twenty other claims ON

several claims. Burr Clark has some fine
prospects that run high in gold and silver.
The Peerless has thirty-foot shaft. from
which some high grade ore has been
shipped. Some free gold and native silver
specimens have been found here that were
good for sore eyes.
The Jocko is owned by D. M. Crowley
and others and is developed by forty-foot
shaft in ore all the way. The ore carries
$40 gold and silver per ton and high per-
centago Of lead. Charles Stevens owns

Stem Hanson has the best developed mine
in Gone Butte. It is contact vein be-

hundred feet of levels and shafts on it.
The vein IL very regular and in places

better advantage by the cyanide process, as

For ths benefit Of those who may come
