boys are still sinking. Odd minutes
prospecting makes the boys think the
vein is about 80 feet wide, they are not
sure yet but in time a crosscut will tell
them. However they are finding a few
tons there that sparkle with gold and
the ore as a matter OF course runs well
into the hundreds, extent of this very
rich ore not known. We are absolutely
afraid TO say how rich the ore is. Cling
house will as,onish the world and don't
forget it.
Up again and over the hills to the
Ora we went but found Proctor q Norris
were away from home. They are busy
hauling and putting up a 2-stamp mill
which they will run by horse power for
the present to prospect with. Theyex-
pert to have the mill in running order
this week. Everybody in town and in
and in camp rejoice in the ~''goahead-
tiveness" OF these boys and wish them
ne luck their spirit deserves.
just over the hill is the Crown Point
"a which Jack Sheehan uses pick and
shovel ~ get out ore. The ledge is
strong, the ore is piling up on the dump
and Jack is working hard. He will be
rewarded for his toll when the stamps
crash out the gold.
And pclow the Crown Point Governor
Lem Allen has made a location and
leris liue over it because the float is rich
shaving Tree gold, and he thinks he has
ioin,i where it comes from. He will
stay there and dig away for awhile. He
is making it his hot weather vacation
and looKs the picture Of rugged health.
He has great faith in the district and
SAYS it is Il wonderfully rich discovery.
Fred Plane, Gus Dorsey, Fred VANS
lev and w. f. Brown have made a loca-
ton paralleling the Orc and the location
shaft has been sunk. 1t will be a sur
prise to us if they do not strike it rich.
they are in lively looking rock carrying
gold.
Over ia the Black Joe they have ore
ami work will IN in earnest very
soon. All they have to do is TO dig it
out, it has been found all right and
SHOWS free gold.
There is ore in the tlnnel on the South
Butte, the tunnel is in some 20 feet and
the owners are letting it rest while they
are out looking for n few more OF those
good things.
Littlejohn, McInnis and the scribe
have made some promising discoveries
to the south. The object of the work,
beyond that OF seeking gold, is to prove
the extensiveness of the district. The
said in, his articles that there are a few
miles of virgin ground surrounding the
district, and has encouraged prospecting
in that way. His faith has been re-
warded. Plenty OF territory open yet
to the prospector.
Richardson and Avery are prospecting
daily on the limits and Richardson says
he is greatly encouraged and feels the
extent Of the gold field is not yet dream
ed of.
There is ore on the various dumps
now from the Honlestake, the V and the
Jumper on the extreme east to the
Crown Point OF the west; from the
Hutchinson No. 2 and the Robert Fitz-
simmons on the north to the Littlejohn
discoveries on the south, an area of
about four square miles, and they have
hardly commenced yet in our opinion.
Day after day the boys find rock with
free gold in it, and night after night
when they get into McClanesburg and
thorn her out" they go wild with ex-
element. We hope every earnest work
or there will reap n rich reward for his
toll and we verify believe every one Of
them will.
Claims that have been prospected a
little sell very readily when offered for
sale and some very handsome offers have
been made and refused for various
promising properties. Every day adds to
the value OF the claims because every
new find and every foot of work shows
more and more gold.
Among yesterdays visitors to the
mines were Allen G. Bragg of the Ga
zette, G. T. Bender, and Il. X. Stewart
