In search OF the Precious Mesal-N hAtcom-
County, Wash. Said by Returned fros-
pectors to Contain an Unlimited
Amount OF Auriferous Quartz

SEATTLE. Wash, Sept 27.-The first
authentic news concerning Washing
toms new ElDorado, near Mount Baker,
and how to get there IS oroughe 70
Seattle by E. w. Saportas. presiden o1
the information and registry, VINO,
with Frank Crydo and Gus wagner, eN-
perienced miners of Dawson City, went
to the scene of the latest excitement
last Saturday.
According to Mr.. Saportas. the route
is passable and not very difficult until
within five miles of the find. The last
five miles, however, present obstacles
that would forever discourage any one
not an experienced prospector and
mountaineer.
There is in Mount Baker and its
surroundings heights enough gold,
says Mr.. Saportas, to keep prospectors
busy for the next ten years. In sam
pies of ore that were brought back by
the informcnt, Mr.. Bogardus, the as
sayer, by a cursory examination de-
clared that free gold existed in exceed
ingly good quantities
L met many men," continued Mr..
Saportas who came from Mount Tomo-
hoy CTomboy) and they all reiterated
the stories concerning the great strike
of $40, 900 to the ton in Bear mountain
in Tomohoy (Tomboyl, and several
others have found ore equal to the dis
covery in Bear mountain"
A special correspondent OF the Even
ing Times sends word from Summas as
follows:
The gold discoveries in the noun
tains of Whatcom county are beyond
any doubt the richest in the annals OF
thaPacific coast or even in Alaska" so
say the most experienced prospectors
whom have just accompanied to the
scene of the recent finds" The re-
cent find is in Bald mountain, situated
in the northeast portion of Nhatcom
county, northeast of Mount Baker.
The mineral range runs northwest and
southeast, and to-day is located for so
miles. There is no telling how much
further it extends.
The vein in the five claims, Lone
Jack, Bennie, Sidney, Lulu and Whist,
varies from three to five feet in thick
ness. 1t runs under a layer of por-
phyry ledge in q serpentine manner,
and auriferous shale appears in the
ledge. 1t is free milling quartz of
sugar and rose color carrying copper
and silver. The vein can be traced
half a mile. The cropping is under
solid porphyry.
The gold is known as ''wire gold,"
and can be seen with the naked eye
and picked out with the fingers. That.
great quantities of it exist there is no
doubt. The formation of the range
in which the find is located does not
look to be very rich in minerals. If
there is any placer mining it has not
as yet been demonstrated to be a pay
ing proposition.
