A ledge of gold bearing quartz, from
which assays have been made showing
values as high as $500 to the ton, has
been discovered within distance OF less
than three miles OF the limits of Spokane
This is the startling statement made by
T. b. Richards, the well known livery
man. MIR. Richards is jointly interested
in the discovery with Frank Buchanan
who, it is said, located the ledge over a
year ago. They visited the property last
week and secured s,mples OF the rock
Samples, Mr.. Richards says, were assay
ed and the showing made was so sur
prisingly good that, despite the binding
snowstorm OF yesterday, MIR. Buchanan
and friend visited the property and put
in several shots to see how the rock ap-
peared further in on the ledge. Samples
of the rock secured were brought to the
city for assaying, but the assay had not
yet been made.
An Antimony Mine.
H. NJ. Cooper of Goldendale, an old pros
pector, recently returned from Cle-Eium
in Kittitas county, where he had been
prospecting and developing an antimony
mine. MIR. Cooper is very enthusiastic
over the results of work this summer. A
recent assay from Chicago shows the test
to run $3.50 antimony and $40 gold per
ton. The claim is known as the Anti
monial, is 80 miles from Cle-,4l station
on the Northern Pacific railway and 10
miles southwest Of the famous Swauk
mines. 1t is also said to be two miles
south Of the well known Lynch mines,now
bonded for 100000 to Scottish syndi-
cate, which is successfully developing the
property under the bond.
1t is said there are not many mines Of
antimony in America, and the noted mines
of this metal are in Bohemia and Hun
gary. 1t is believed that owing to the
great scarcity of this valuable metal in
this country this is to be OF more value
than an ordinary gold mine.
