Big STRIKE IN FREMONT.

Rich Field.

A wonderfully rich strike has been
made on the Carisa mine. which is To-
Gated one mile from old South Pass
City. Some local miners took u bond
and lease upon the property last fall
and have spent the winter looking for
a rich vein which they believed existed.
Early in the fall u large body OF high,
grade ore was uncovered and going
down the vein widened out to 90 feet.
numerous tests made during the winter
showed not less han 500 per ton in
any instance. There is now on the
dump somewhere near $50 tons Of this
rich ore. and it is expected by the first
Of the month to have 400 tons, when it
will be milled, the lessees only waiting
for the snow and ice to disappear, which
surrounds the mill. This is the largest
strike of rich ore that has been made in
that country for INC than 20 years.
Experienced miners say hat the ore on
the dump at the present time will net
over $50, 900 in gold. One OF the best
things about it is that the vein appears
to be continuous and the lessees have no
fear Of its giving out. The strike has
caused no little excitement at South

mont county, which is II miles from At
lantic City. This mine has been worked
the past winter ind it is reported that
there is 10 tons Of rich ore upon the
dump. How rich it is does not appear,
but as the Burr has in the past never
yielded any low grade ore it is safe to
say that the ore on the dump will mill
n considerable amount Of gold. Several
other strikes are reported at Lewiston
and at least half u dozen miners are
getting ready to mill their ore as soon
as the weather will permit. There have
been deep SHOWS in the mountains
around these mining camps during the
winter. which have Encouraged a large
number OF placer miners to 60 into the
country this spring. There will be an
effort made to work some OF the dry
gulches by conserving the waters from
the melting snow. For the last two
years placer mining in that country has
been more or less successful and from
$4,000 to $4,000 has been secured this
way during the early summer months,
but the water has always given o u
about midsummer, which put an end to
working placer ground. The deep SHOWS
Of the past winter will insure an abund.
ant supply Of water for several weeks
later than usual. The mines of the
South Pass country, from '6S to '73,
produced $1,000. 900 in gold, and it is
about time that some good producers
were struck in that section. The Carisa
produced in '6S and go $3.50, 900, and nc
one in that country is surprised at the
last strike. The Bullion at Lewiston
opened out 20 years ago and promised to
produce largely: after $1,000 was taken
out water was struck and the mine aban-
doned until last year, when it was re-
opened and a large body OF low grade
ore was uncovered. This mine will be a
regular producer during the season OF
1897.
