thousand feet and at the several places
where it has been opened up the
showing is immense. The ore gives
spIeAuld SHOW u gold III the pan. Al
the extreme top of the mountain, COW
cred by the Gold Belt location, an eigh-
teen inch vein has been opened UP by
an open cut and values of $3.50 for the
average of the vein obtained. To the
north of the Drake and Lambert prop
critics are those of the Rice Brothers,
who are pushing development work in
very vigorous manner and have an
excellent showing. The Rice Brothers
have six claims, the main work now be-
ing done being that on the Rocky
Mountain and Valentine claims. The
Valentine is the extension of the Gold
Belt, and a tunnel is being run for the
purpose of cutting the vein of the la ter
On the Rocky Mountain the tunnel S
in 100 feet and the four-foot vein shown
up by it averages so in gold, although
some very
RICH DEPOSITS OF GOLD QUARTZ
are encountered Float going as high
as $4,000 in gold has been repeatedly
picked uD on the Rice claims, Which
cover the mountain side tor nearly a
mile. East of the Gold Belt, Kelly and
Emerson own and are developing the
Warrior group, on which they have
three feet of $50 gold ore
South of the Ophir the Teller, owned
by VIII Clark. Jagers and Ohwiler- is
being developed by means of a. shaft
now down twelve feet. In the bot ON
OF the shaft four feet of er-gold ore
have been shown up, the average val
ues thus far being twenty-five ounces in
silver and So in gold.
On all sides of the State Line district
important developments are occurring
almost daily, and these discoveries only
add to the worth and extent OF the
section. To the north of Line City, about
ten miles, Ward Christian and Doctor
Fennemore of Beaver are reported to
have
UNCOVERED A TWO-FOOT VEIN
of phenomenally rich gold quartz They
certainly brought into Line City last
week samples of quartz that were fairly
alive with gold. The average values
of the vein are reported to have been
$40. These reports have started quite
a movement toward the north end OF the
district and some interesting develop
ments may occur. In the Deer Lodge
district, eight or nine miles south and
west of Line City, a number of rich
strikes are reported. An Arizona and
Salt Lake syndicate is doing some eX-
teen locations. On the group a vein,
from which
ASSAYS OF 1000 OUNCES IN SILVER
have been obtained is showing, the
vein being four feet in width and con-
tanning very rich streak Of silver
gold ore. Allen &. Campbell has also
made a number of locations in the vi
entity and the showing is highly graft
tying. Ben Johnson, an old-time miner,
has done the prospecting for Mr.. Camp
bell, and also located Robert c. Lund
in on a number of the properties. Mr..
Campbell is greatly impressed with the
wort: of the new mining section and
intends returning there in the very near
future. He is also interesting himself
in more inside properties. Charles Ly-
tie is opening up number of promising
claims on the west side of Government
Peak which is almost on the Utah
Nevada line, and experts no have Wis
tied his portion Of the district predict
great things for il. Mr.. Lyle is also
working force of men on a silver-lead
mine across Hamblin valley from Line
C ty on the east range, and in seventy
foot shaft has five-foot vein Of very
high grade ore. E. G. WOOLLEY.
