TWENTY.FOUR
 CLAIMS SOLD SWauk District Placer Land Transfer.
BRINGS A LARGE PRICE.
MILWAUKEE MEN INVEST IN
 WASHINGTON.
Small Holdings to Be Consolidated Into One Large Mine to Be Worked by Improved
 Machinery.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, May 21.-The Cascade Min ing Company of Milwaukee has pur- chased for quarter of a million dollars twentyfour picked placer claims in Swauk district Kittitas County. The sale was made through l.. H. Jansen, one of the claim owners, who has been working for two years to consolidate these claims into one big placer mine. Once San Francisco and Boston men had an option on the property, but did not close the deal. The claims are now worked on a large scale with the latest hydraulic machinery. using the water of Swauk and Williams creeks. It is known they will prove immensely profitable, because their owners have been taking from $5O00 to s20,000 sea- son out of the best of them, working Tn the most primitive way.
 For years the Swauk district has been known as the greatest nugget pro- ducing section in the State, numerous nuggets exceeding $500 in value having been found John Black, pioneer of the district, found one nugget worth S565. Gus Nilsson last year took out the camps champion nugget, valued at s1004. Other nuggets ran from $222 to $745. The miners have heretofore paid little attention to saving gold dust, but have instead sunk to bedrock and searched there for nuggets. All their tailings will now be worked over.
 The gold is found chiefly in bars. which cover the old creek channels along the banks of the Williams, Swauk Boulder and Baker creeks.
