Poverty gulch, is threatening TO add its
name to the list of shippers. A short
time ago the claim was secured under
bond and lease by Rapp & Spratt Work
was commenced in the old shaft, which
| was down over 100 feet. TWENTY-FIVE
| feet from the surface a cross-cut was
| started and in less than ten feet a vein
was entered, with a twelve-inch pay
streak along the hanging wall, and two
| assays made today showed an average
value of close to $40. a cross-cut was
| started in from the bottom of the shaft
| and If the same streak is found there
| the Petite is a mine. The claim has
| been worked for the past three years
| at odd times, but all the shafts were
| sunk on the old vein, which was very
| spotted. One day the miners would
| find pockets of high grade and the next
| day identically the same quartz would
not run better than trace. The new
vein, If 1t is a new vein, appears 10 run
| parallel with the old one.
