carrying Of the rivers waters into the

of the bottom of the stream for gold.
A new mining camp has been dis

mont's Peak district, thirty miles north

gold ore and there is water four miles
distant.
An Idaho miner has struck lead
thirty-five miles southeast of Caruboi
Utah. The vein is reported between 50
and 40 feet wide. and assays we'll

strike in the Tombigbee. The lowest
assay is 500, and every inch Of the five
foot vein is pay. Average assays run
$40 to the ton. This is the most import
ant discovery ever made on SquaW
mountain
According to dispatch in the Den
yer News mill runs Of ore taken from
the BetSey B. mine on chesapeake
mountain returned respectively S75, $l2O
and $50 per ton in gold. The ore was
taken from a streak in the bottom OF the
shaft which averages from three feet
to forty inches in width.
An agent has gone to Europe to
raise $1,OO0,OO0 with which to open up
and develop a practically unknown Sec
county and is known as the -Four Mile
district. There are $4,000 acres Of loose
sand from which tie crude hydraulic
plants have saved 20 cents to the cubic
yard.
Much excitement is afoat il and
around Dubois. Col. occasioned by the
owners of the East Denver lode uncover
ing a six-foot vein of crystallized quartz,
intermixed with hornblende. lead and
galena. This lode gives promise of be-
coming one of the richest properties in
Goose creek district.
The recent discovery of free gold
near Hill City is claimed to be of great
er Importance than the Holy Terror,
which has attracted so much attention,
and as this comes directly from gentle
men who are interested in Doth proper
ties, it may be considered pretty reliable,
says the DeadWood Pioneer.
Two residents of Haywards, near
Oakland, Cal. have caused excitement
by exhibiting several specimens of gold
quartz which they stated they found IN
the hills near town. They refused to tell
the exact location Of their find but as
sured everybody that they had obtained
the quartz while prospecting for a ledge
that they had been told was in the
neighborhood.
-Geyser people are in condition of
jubilation bordering on ecstacy over a
rich strike made couple of weeks since
on their property on Geyser hill, in the
Camp Floyd mining district. When in
sixty feet an immense body of ore, forty
to sixty feet thick, was reached. Neither
foot nor hanging wall has yet been found
and the extent of the strike cannot yet
be more than guessed at. The ore is the
richest taken from the hill, assaying $50
ton in gold, so says the Salt Lake
Tribune
Chatham f. Bedell, Augustus S. Be
dell and Oscar Reuter- of Denver and
Charles X. Phillips of Red Cliff. Col.
have purchased the great Belden proper
ty, which comprises the Belden, Mamie,
r. L. r. and the northwesterly fifty
seven feet of the Cora lode, and the deed
calls for the snug sum of $5,OOO,OO
Prof. Linderman estimates that there is
over $7,0OO,0O0 worth of sulphide ore,
not to bring into consideration the vast
amount of carbonates that have been
proven up and still remain in open view
ready for hosting and shipment at com
mand Of the owners.
