SPRING CREEK PLAvBRS.
SOME EXCELLENT COARSE GOLD
BEING EXHIBITED BY THE
COMPANY.
Water Was Short This Season and
Went OF With a Rush-Lake
Creek to be Operated by the Spring
Creek People-Noues and Person
ais Of Interest TO Mining Men.

Thomas Hale and Henry Storey were
displaying a bottle of course gold yes
terday to some of their friends that
was soothing c the eyes of ever the
rankest and most rabid free silverites.
1t was a portion of the cleanup made
at the Spring Creek placers. Although
the water played out this year long
before the usual time, the Spring creek
company is entirely satisfied with the
development made and will go in next
season with renewed vigOr. Meanwhile
it is the intention to do considerable
ditch work and appropriate the water
necessary for a more p]rotracted sea-
sons work. The water failed this
spring at least two weeks earlier than
il did last year. and most of it went off
very early with a rush. The Keystone
road was never known to be as dry as
at present.
In the cleanup Of this year the
Spring Creek company Melted about the
same amount that it did a year ago, the
ground averaging probably a little
more TO the yard.
Tomorrow morning Messrs. Storey
and Hale will go out to Lake creek in
the interest OF their company, where
they will look the ground over with the
view Of doing some work there next
season. Lake creek ground can be
worked a little longer than that upon
Spring creek under the present condi-
tons, and it is the desire of the COM
pany to operate the two together.
The Albany company is making a
cleanup of the ground which has been
worked thus far this season, but it is
not yet known what the result will be.
Its operations have been confined to
Dawes gulch, a small tributary of the
main Douglas creek.
Gus Hurley has finished a very sue
cessful seasons work and will now rest
till anoUher spring rolls around.
c. b. Richie has also made a good
cleanup on Lake creek.
