Dirt That Runs $500 in Gold
to the Ton.
BESIDES 90 OUNCES SILVER
James r. O'Brien Finds the Quarts
Lead at the Head of EldOrado
Creek ON the Ridge Between That
Stream and Indian Rivcr-OMcial
Report Of Assayers at the Tread
we'll Mine Gives Rich Promise.

Early in December James T. o'Brien
discovered groupings Of a quartz lead
while crossing the ridge between the head
OF Eldcrado creek and Quartz creek. a
branch of the Indian river. He traced the
ledge on the bare top OF the ridge for
some $500 feet and sunk a small prospect
shaft where the groupings appeared best.
He brought out samples of ore from the
bottom Of the shaft and left them at Ju-
neau 10 be assayed. Yesterday Mr..
O'Brien received letter from John Odds.
proprietor of the Occidental hotel at Ju-
neau. which stated that the report of the
assayers at the Treadwell mine gave the
value OF the ore s., 500 in gold and nine
~ ounces in silver. The ledge from which
this remarkably rich ore taken is
three feet wide and gives every evidence
of being true lead. This tells the story
OF the richest discovery that has yet been
made on the Yukon.
When James OBr!en arrived in Seattle
on the last trip OF the Corona no one
knew that he was the real discoverer Of
klondike quartz. O'Brien said nothing
about H. for he did not know how the
ore he had left at Juneau would assay.
But then he did not tell any one that he
had s25o0 in drafts. for he Is one OF the
most reserved individuals that has YET
come Obt or the hio.uihe. NOW thdt ne
has received news which leads him to be-
lieve that he has located the best claim
in the klondike country. he does not care
to talk about it. but finally told the story
Of the discovery TO a Post-Intelliseacer
reporter last night. He said:

A Business Trouble.

G. Schultz, the clothier, is in trouble
financially and. at present his store is
in charge of Deputy U. s. Marshal
Hurst, who represents Chicago credi-
tors who have brought suit for about
$1,000 against Mr.. Schultz. Several
chattel mortgages against the prop
erty were filed last week and in ad-
dition It is stated that the insurance
money which was to have been paid to
him on account of the late fire has
been attached by local creditors. It is
generally believed that the value of
Mr.. Schultz stock OF goods is much
more than his Indebtedness and that
in course of time all these matters
will be Strengthened out. MI. Schultz
has always carried a very large stock
of goods, perhaps larger than the de-
mand warranted, and this is no doubt
the cause of his present trouble.

There is a marked difference between

cents, and the local selling price,
which Is from 80 to IS cents. Even at
the latter figure there are practically
none to be had. The elevator price is
based on the value of oats for shipping
purposes, while the local price is fixed

The house on ID. w. Ensign's farm, a
mile and q half east of the city, was
burned Monday night about II o'clock.
The fire is supposed to have started in
the kitchen and when discovered by
Charley Hobjer, Mr.. Ensign's tenant,
it had gained such Roadway that moth
ing could be done to stop it. Mr..
Hobyer and his men had just about
time enough to get out of the building
before the roof fell in. The former
lost $40 in cash and all his household
goods and cooking utensils, about 500
worth. The building was insured for
s4OO. This is the second fire that has
occurred IN the Ensign farm within
the year, his barn having burned last
fall.
