The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1897-06-23

widen from half an inch to four inches
In about seven feet OF depth. He saw
gold and gold in wire and SAID il he had
it he would 90 down on it quick. The
dirt next to the streak is full OF gold and
Mr.. MeClanc would scoop up handfnlls,
blow away the dirt and the scribe pick
ed piece after piece Of gold out of Nc
Clanes palm.
Joe Effricks an indefatigable pros
pector has made another find and he
says it is good but OF low grade and a
milling proposition.
The Hutchinson on last Saturday
night was down 40 feet in spite of two
stormy days so windy the men could not
stay at the windlass, The shaft con-
tinucs in all ore which is being piled
on the dump and every other bucket
that comes up is sampled. The bottom
is now a dark green mixed with quartz
and still no signs or indications OF a wall.
The vein is wide and a wall is not look
ed for yet. A pan prospect Saturday
night showed between So and $40 on one
side OF the shaft, from $40 to $25 on the
other side and from $25 to $50 in the
middle. The boys say they are averag-
ing about $l5 per ton with about 10 tons
Of ore on the dump. Markinson Jones,
botanist and minerologist, says the
Hutchinson ore canno carry gold and
there is no gold in it but as he forgot
his ten pound sample in the hills he did
not have the chance to be convinced
against his will. Mr.. Girard sampled
and horned it and went down the shaft
and examined it csrefully. He was very
much pleased and says there is a
possibility, just a possibility of it being
lao feet at that point but he does not
think it il. 1t narrows to the north.
Any mining MAJ who goes there has
the privilege OF taking a shovel, going
any place or all places on the dump,
digging into it and carrying away "a 10
pound sample.
We do not know a claim owner in the
hills who has anything to conceal and the
open and above board manner of the
bows has gained the commentator oil
the expert visitors. They are not badger
ed toabuy, but treated with all courtesy
and shown everything they want to see
and they appreciate it all.
W. r. Judson, Il mining expert, sent
by the Hon. VIM. II. Mills, OF the Land
Department of the Southern Pacific,
spent Sunday in the district with the
writer. He made Acquaintance OF all
the boys, and looked over the claims.
He saw so much that he became con-
WINGED of the merit OF the camp and
concluded to spend most of the week
there. His visit will result in great
benefit to the camp, and courtesies ex-
tended to him will be appreciated by the
DISPATCH because we want to see the
ann go ahead and We know 1t will
bear inspection.
There are anywhere between 400 and
800 tons OF milling rock on the dumps.
P~rospector Williams is working on the
Silver Star and We failed to get Il report
from him because We did not see him
and the Silver Star is to the south.
We note the progress being made and
the situation gets brighter and brighter.
Williamsburg will yet astonish the
world. All it wants is half a show.
Surveyor Sewart has been busy for
five or six days. The boys show the
prope. spirit by desiring to ~untangle
everything where the rough work cause
ed minor clashes. We hope this will ali
be done before official maps are made.
We asked Mr.. Girard's permission to
say something about his visit and his
opinion. He is a nice gentleman and
broad in his views. He told us we could
say he was very favorably impressed,
that the mineral belt is very wide, that
fNrmati on is large and will require n
great deal OF work to open it up properly
in places, that he believed the evidence
Of his senses and saw gold, that only the
gold was wanted and they didn't care
what it was in, that the ore is peculiar
and would teach mining men something
new, and that the camp has Il promising
future.
1t Is generally the case when a man
has n really good mine ior sale that he
