IN NEWTON MINING DISTRICT.
Splendid Showing in the Indian
Creek Company's Ground.

SACCEN OSAAA ReNAy -
c. W. Miles. the general manager Of
the Indian Creek company's property.
which is located in Newton mining dis
trict. a few miles east of Beaver. in
Beaver county. is ir the city for the
purpose Of appearing as witness in
the Omaha mining litigation, which
comes up for trial today.
Air Miles is highly pleased with the
progress that has been made in the
development of the Indian Cree: prop
ertv. and is confident as to the ultimate
outcome Of the enterprise, as with
every foot of work that i done the i'm
provement in quality and ralues is
decidedly marked.
At the original discovery on the
group a working shaft was started
some time ago within few feet of the
ledge, and for the first So feet was sunk
in The country rock but at this point
good live quartz appeared in the shaft
and for eight feet now the hole has
been sunk in good body of mineral,
carrying free gold and sulphides, and
the indications are that the ledge IS
much wider than the surface showing
would indicate. as a the grass roots
the vein is 30 feet in width; while in
sinking the quartz is carrying in
creased values with every foot of depth
obtained
Work is also being pushed in the de-
velopmeni Of the parallel ledge dis
covered since operations began on the
property.
The shaft on this vein is now down
81 feet on the ledge, all the way on
good mineral bearing quartz. which is
improving in values as work progresses.
The company is also doing assess
ment work on the Vigilance, embraced
l.
also doing assessment work on the
Golden Fleece claim. claimed by the
company. but over the title of which
there is a conflict with the Imperial
Mining company.
J. z Farr. an old timer in the dis
tIict and a thorough and competent
mining man. who IS the foreman for
the Indian Creek company, feels very
confident that TIE property viii develop
into one Of the biggest gold PROPOSE
tons in the southern portion Of the
state. and predicts that within 100 feet
from the surface good shipping ore will
be encountered.
In order % make a test of its ores
on the ground the company has en-
gagged the services Of Jimmie Paxton.
The well-known aSsaycr of KanOsh.
,s.i,o ,gilI establish himself at the mine
today or tomorrow. when the ompany
AviU make fire assays Of everything
that comes from the property. as well
as Of ores from adjoining mines and
claims.
Al present the company has in its
e!nplay a force Of L men. and il Is ex-
pectad that a great showing viii be
made within the next few months.
Outside of the Imperial hut little is
DOING in the district It is expected
any dav. however. that the supreme
court will hand down its decision in the
Sheer Rock litigation. and If il favors
the Indian Creek ompany. which is
heavily interested in this property. it
is the intention 10 begin active work
in the DEVELOPMENT of this valuable
ground.
In speaking 0f the affairs of the dis .
trict Mr.. Miles stated that Newt-n Hill, (
the veteran miner after whom the dis
trict was named. had just made an i'm
portant discover on the Fawn Track (
group Of claims. of which he is the 1
