q NUMBER OF ETOp6FIl6S.
Richfeld, Aug. 1.-For the past few
days The Herald correspondent, in
company with Thomas Gillian, a thor
ough and painstaking prospector of this
city, visited the mines on Gold noun
tain.
A considerable amount of newspaper
talk has been going on for the past
month, and to find as near the facts
as possible this trip was made.
Commencing at the base of the noun
tain, the first property reached is the
Bolitho-Hess placer diggings. At pres
ent there is no one at work on the prop
erty, but it is expected that force of
men will soon be put to work. This is
really the first diggings, and from
there to the Holland are several men
at work on mines belonging to H. W.
Ramlore of this city, Charles Scott of
iowa and several others, but nothing
could be learned as to the values re-
ceived or the amount Of work done on
any of the properties.
After the Bolitho-Hess, the next
property that is being worked to any
extent is
THE HOLLAND,
belonging to w. F. Snyder of this city.
Six men are at work on a tunnel below
their last years workings, and at a
distance of 81 feet their ledge was
struck. The richest ore is being sacked
for shipment, while the fine gravel and
ore is being run through a Mitchell
amalgamator, which is proving to be a
successful way Of treating the fine ore.
The Holland is famous for the number
of fine specimens which are taken
from it.
The next property beyond the Hol-
land is the c.. c. and l., belonging to
E. p Lynch of San Francisco. No
work is being done in the mine at pres
ent, but w. F. Mitchell of Salt Lake
City has and is working on a contract
let by the owner of the property to
bring a stream of water from the head
of Fish creek, a distance of over five
miles, TO the property. AS soon as the
ditch is completed, it is thought that a
mill will be erected on the property
and steady work will be continued.
At the Sewer mine there is only one
Waterman and Mr.. and Mrs. hammers
dorf. This is about the Oldest m-ne on
the mountain, and has been worked
every summer before this but litiga-
ton is at present holding General Man
ager Lammersdorf from doing any fur
Their work.
IN THE SURPRISE
there are six men working in the lower
tunnel. The owners, w. T. Snyder and
a.
Cummings of Kanab, feel confident
that they have one of the good mines of
the district, and are doing everything
in their power to develop the property
and have some fine looking rock to
At present James Long. jr., manager
of the Manmoth-BreckenT has a
bond on the Bunker Hill mine, owned
by Lars II. Outzen of this city, for
5000. The property is in a good loca-
ton; has a we'll defined ledge running
through 1t, and it is thought that some
good results will come from vigorous
work which viii commence in the very
near future.
The Congress group, William Johnson
owner is a promising group of four
claims, which joins the Mammoth claim
on the west. Through the claims runs
a well defined three-foot ledge of fine
looking ore. Mr.. Johnson claims that
in this ledge he has q pay streak of
four inches Last May a sample of this
streak was sent to Salt Lake and
tested. The returns Of the assay were
$40 in gold and silver. The average
OF the ledge is about $50
The Fl. Dodge is another group of
claims belonging TO William johnson,

present one man is at work on the
property, and it is thought that the re-

THE GOLD PAN
group, owned by Dwight Meter and F.
r. Shepard of this city, is a promising
prospect. which joins the Blue Bird on
the north. Last winter the owners
worked the property and at the end of
theil, tunnel have q we'll defined vein
of good-looking decomposed quartz.
Work will soon begin on q tunnel from
the head of Deer creek, which will be
about $50 feet in length, but 300 feet
depth will be gained below their present
workings.
The Golden Queen is a fine-looking
prospect, owned by H. w. Ramlose of
this city At present there are three |
men at work on the property, and, as |
