ment, as the lowest assay of rock was
$3.50 and the highest $4S0.25, leaving
out the very high assays
AVERAGE ASSAYS.
1.-THE average of the assays was s51.3E
per ton in gold. AT the mill at present
there are about rs tons of ore not
worked up. AT the mine there are
about $50 tons ready for treatment. \
shaft IS feet deep shows ore all the
way to the bottom. Some samples
taken from this shaft assay $3.50
while the others ran away up in value.
About 40 feet from the shaft and 10
the n. G. was the original workings of
/ Cooley & House. This consisted of an
open cut in the side of the mountain
I and crOSS-cut tunnel which was run
/ in about 60 feet. Very rich rock was
/ taken out and is to be seen here. jack
! son began his work just below and
run in another cross-cut tunnel, which
! was put in for AZ feet and out of here
I he took all the ore or nearly so that
he run through the mill. We do not
think they have the ore body as yet.
In places where they drifted to the
east and west, 40 and 81 feet, respect
lively, these drifts have the appear
ance of being run on a vein of at least
four feet wide. Samples of ore from
the roof and face of the west drift run
$3.50 per ton in gold and samples from
the floor, roof and face drift assays
S47.25 per ton in gold. The character
of this ore is a blue lime rock with
white quartz mixed generally through
it. The Gaping on the surface and
country rock is porphyry and this is
the character of the rock throughout
this whole district.
Several other openings have been
made upon this property, all showing
rock that carries gold free. Beyond
the Dream is the Good Hope mine.
Here considerable prospecting has been
done which demonstrates pay ore
existing. The Grand View, next to
the Good Hope, has a fine showing of
pay ore in sight. On the top of the
mountain and to the north of the Gold
Queen is the Viking, and there are a
number of others to which we were
unable to get 10 on account of the
snow at the time we were up in that
vicinity. Samples of ore from all of
these. however, which were shown US
were specked up with the precious
yellow metal. At the Copper Queen. a
prospect that shows some very fine
copper ore which carries gold also. is
to be seen. This is located on the west
range. This part of the district has
scarcely been seen yet by prospectors,
in fact the whole range has not been
looked at hardly. Plenty of as choice
ground beyond any question is open to
the prospector and can be located. The
district is 20 miles square. The regula-
ton size of claims is 600x1 500 feet, Civ
ing over 20 acres to quartz claims, all
the ground one man can properly look
after and thoroughly inspect
THE CLIMATE.
THE snow is gone now There is no
better climate under the sun. so that
the ever restless pTcspector looking for
new fields to search for gold has here
an opportunity to buckle in and find
what he is looking for. to-wit. gold.
This district has the essential fea-
lures of the ideal mining camp. gold
bearing quartz, water in abundance
and its fine timber. and plenty of it,
as any mining section that lays out of
doors. The gold so far as known is in
a free state, scarcely any non-sulphide
is found and those of very fine disSem-
ination in the rock, and very little I
value to it, as yet demonstrating that /
the gold can be recovered by the |
cheapest method krown-that is, |
stamping and amalgamation. The new !
townsite is under control of young. ac- I
tive, energetic business men, and with |
the most liberal dispositions. Almost !
any kind OF reasonable concessions to
intending settlers will be given. The |
place has just been born. Any kind /
Of business enterprise will be afforded |
