 The numerous affidavits of assess ment work on mining claims which are being filed for record is evidence of the faith that prospectors have in their properties, and is a good omen of the mining business.

 Jack Lyle and W. J. Roberts vii leave in a day or two for the Klon- dike. The particulor Klondike they intend going to is not located in the far away frozen northwest territory, but in Copper Basin, and IS the name of a claim owned by Griffin & Roberts. It adjoins the McNary property, and they have just given a contract to the above parties to sink 90 feet on the claim. Surface pros poets are said to be very fattering.
 In doing the assessment work on the "U. F." mine, owned by H. D. Aitken and G. H. LaBerteu, strike of very rich ore was made. The vein is nearly four feet wide, and in sinking sixteen feet they took out seven tons of ore, which will run Sl0O in gold. This property was located away back in the sixties and was formerly owned by a pioneer of this section named Banning, and was known as the Banning property for long time. The ore on the surface was very rich in free gold, and was worked with an arastra. After the ore became base, Banning abandoned 1t, and of later years it l has not been worked except to keep up the title work. The property is located not far from the Senator, and gives promise of becoming very valuable.
