but rather deeper, and showed them to be
full of smaller nuggets. In all there was
about ST. 900 worth OF gold. reckoning il at
its mint value Of $3.50 to SIC an ounce.
The big nugget weighs about IS ounces
and is worth about $3.50, the next largest
is worth $73, and the others range about
$50. There were also q number Of uncon-
sidered trifes worth q. few dollars each,
scarcely worth mentioning among such
big fellows.
All this gold came from one claim on
Williams creek, adjoining c. E. II. Big
ney's mine, and was taken out in the
course Of ten days The Elliott claim was
located In 1887. but has not been system
atlcaiiy worked until last year. Mr.. Hen.
ton began work last January by sinking
a shaft to bedrock on the old channel,
depth Of 1e3 feet. He then drifted along
the bedrock. at first rather slowly and
with only one shift, as water gave a good
deal of trouble. He finally ran drain to
the surface and got rid OF the water, and
since May has worked double shift and
now has about 400 feet of drift.
The pay dirt is the foot OF gravel next to
bedrock. no value worth mention being
found In the upper dirt, and extends
through a width of 20 to 10 feet. In one
place the drift has been breasted out to
width of 10 feet, and here the big nuggets
were taken out. The gold is all coarse and
Of good quality about 500 fine. with only
a small proportion of silver.
Although much expense has been incur
red In opening the mine. it has paid well
from the start. Since January about 5000
has been cleaned up. and during the last
month the product has largely increased
The 81. .G9 worth of nuggets Mr.. Henton
has with him were taken out in the last
ten days. The previous weeks cleanup
