UP THE CANYON.
What a "NeVvs" Reporter Saw at
the chairman and Los Angeles.

O-e~S------N--- A@O"
Last Wednesday, at the invitation
d. H. Jackson, we took a spin up the
canyon, our first objective point being
the chairman mine. It has been sever
al years since we had been in the mine
before and we were much surprised at
the great amount of development
work that has been done in the past
two years. Mr.. jackson took us
through long drift from which he
had run crosscuts 30 feet north and
south during his short administration
in the mine. The entire distance
was in ore that runs runs from So to
$40 per ton gold. A sample taken at
random from one of the crosscuts and
washed in small pan left rich streak
of the yellow metal in the bottom that
was beauty to look at At this level
all work done is for development only,
no ore being extracted except what
was necessary in running the drift
and crosscuts. The result is that an
immense body of good grade ore has
been exposed, which has added much
to the ore supplies in other parts of
the mine.
Mr.. Jackson thinks that if the Mon
tana parties had permitted him to
continue the work of exploration out
lined before their departure from
here, the result would have been as
tonishing to the intending purchasers.
His confidence in the chairman be-
ing big mine is steadfast, and he
says that if like showing were made
in Alaska or South Africa purchases
would be plenty at from half million
to million dollars. Mr.. Jackson is
an experienced miner, and has handled
many mining properties in different
sections of the country, SO his opinion
of the chairman is high tribute
added to that of many others who have
examined the property.
The company are now making an
upraise to the surface which will con-
meet with all the lower workings. A
within has been ordered from Salt Lake
and when it arrives will be put in
place, which will save much manual
labor and considerable expense in
working the mine.
It is not known to us whether the
deal with the Montana parties is off
or not Probably the present strin-
gency in the money market has called
a hault that may be only temporary.
In any case the mine with its present
fine showing of ore will ere long find
a willing purchaser, and perhaps at a
much higher figure than now asked.
THE LOS ANGELES.
From the Chairman Mr.. Jackson
drove us up to this mine. It adjoins
the Rob Roy on the north and was
bonded by Mr.. Jackson from Willie
Watson and A. L. Tyler for $40, 900.
He has four men at work and has
sunk an incline shaft sixty feet deep.
A whim and horse power does the
hosting. Samples washed from sew
eral places showed good prospects in
free gold and the indications are IA
vorable for the Los Angeles to change
from mere prospect hole : which
was all it was when Mr.. jackson took
hold-to third in rank of the mines
in the district.
There is one think about Mr.. Jack
sons work which our miners would do
well to pattern by. He does clean
work, no "goughing" or "coyoting,"
and when the work is done if the ore
is there it can be seen to good advan-
tage. Such work cannot help but
greatly facilitate the sale of a mine.
