northern end line Of the Utica. on
which 60-foot shaft reveals a fine
body of quartz which without doubt is
a continuation or extension of the Gold
Belt ledge, thus proving almost beyond
doubt the permanency of the vein. On
the Gold Belt dump it is estimated that
there are at least from $50 to 300 tons
of ore carrying good milling values.
The Louise, also embraced in the
Drake and Lambert group, lies to the
west of the Gold Belt, with one claim
intervening. The ledge on this claim
is all of four feet wide on the sur
face. or a short distance below the
grass roots. The vein cutting through
the Louise is we'll defined and can be
traced on the surface for over 1900 feet.
The tunnel that has been run in on the
vein is in 1876 feet, the face being in
body of ore which it is estimated will
carry average values of at least S12 a
ton.
On the Security, which is located
between the Gold Belt and the Louise,
there is another parallel ledge which
is two feet wide on the surface that
carries good average values, besides
which, running through the group,
there are several parallel lodges which
assay well at the surface and which
show good strings of colors in the
pan.
This property is owned by Messrs.
Drake and Lambert, two of the pio-
neers of the gold bearing portion, of
the district, and it is believed that cap
ital will soon join in with them in the
development and operation of this
promising and valuable property.
THE CREOLE NINE.
The Creole mine, which is located on
the south and east side of Left. Hand
gulch and very near to its juncture
with the Right Hand gulch, is prob
ably the most extensively developed of
all the gold properties in the district.
This promising property is owned by
W. j. McBurney, j. j. and j. W.
Knight.
This is also a assure in porphyry.
The ore is free milling gold, and the
ledge is strong and regular and can
be traced en- the surface for several
hundred feet, and the float and pieces
of the cropping Will all pan gold.
The main workings on the Creole
consist of a tunnel which was started
near the north center of the claim,
from which a person can almost throw
a stone into the town. This tunnel is
now in a distance of $50 feet and the
face has just encountered the third
chute of quartz, the characteristics of
which have been previously mentioned,
and the face of the workings is in
full breast of ore at a vertical depth
of go feet from the surface.
Three hundred feet up the hill on the
strike of the ledge from the mouth of
the tunnel there is a shaft that has
been sunk to q depth of 40 feet, and
also a short tunnel, the entire work
ings being in a fine body of good mill
ing ore, and it is the intention to
deepen the shaft and extend the lower
tunnel until air connections are being
made between tina two which will eX-
pose the ledge at vertical depth of at
least $50 feet, as the mountain rises
quite sharply at this point.
The ledge, as previously stated, is
large and well. defined. and from work
that has been done on fractions be-
tween it and the Drake and Lambert
group, which is located on the other
side CT the gulch, it has been demon
strated that the Creole vein is fed by
numerous stringers which carry good
values in gold. Several small openings
