same size as the other vein and to pros
pect equally we'll. On last Monday,
however, the tunnel cut into remark
ably rich deposit, richer than has been
exposed in that part of the country for
many years past. Mr.. Mcintyre cut
down two pans of ore and dirt from
the face of the tunnel, washed it, and
without crushing the quartz, secured a
prospect, admittedly very rich-fully 81
in value. The extent of this rich ore is
not yet known, but is evidence of a
rich chimney in this lode. The backs
are now 200 feet high and will be large
ly increased as the drift advances into
the mountain. The outlook for this
property is very fattering. Work on
it will continue, and it is probable. that
the Arcadia mill will soon be moved to
a position below the mouth Of the tun-
mel.
NORTH FORK COPPER.
Plumas National Bulletin: From A.
D. Mcmillan of Crescent we learn that
there is very promising copper devei-
opment on the North Fork about three
miles below Meadow View. We had
occasion to refer to it something like
two years ago, when that on the east
bank of the river was located by MIR.
Littlefeld. The ore deposit is repre-
sented to be nearly 100 feet across and
to be of very promising nature. But
little development work has yet been
done, but the property has been bond
ed to a Mr.. Carlisle who expects soon
to open up and test the ore. On the
opposite side Of the river a. continuation
of the ore body has been located.
WASHINGTON MINES.
Spokane letter in Oregonian: Patrick
Clark, principal stockholder in the Re-
public mine, and his associates, are de-
veloping another very promising prop
erty ON the south half OF the Colvilie
reservation, and have Incorporated the
Harvest Silver-Lead Mining Company
James Harvey is President of the new
company, Patrick Clark is Vice Presi-
dent, and Charles S. Eltinge is Secre-
tary- Treasurer. Mr. Clark took 100000
shares Of the treasury stock at 10 cents
share, giving the company a fund of
$4,000 for development purposes
The claims included in the incorpcra-
ton are the Long Joe and the Harvest.
They are situated in Davis camp, on
Twenty Mile Creek This creek is
q tributary of the San Poll, running
down from the west. The claims can
be easily reached by wagon road from
the State wagon road, now under con-
struction through the San Poll Valley
to Republic. Development work has
been in progress on the Harvest for
several weeks, and very fine showing
has been made. The ore is galena, with
some gold. surface cross-cut, now
being run, shows vein Of immense
width, with punches of gaIena all
through it. Recent assays made from
samples taken clear across the vein give
good values in silver and lead. Samples
taken at other points on the surface
gave as much as $40 in gold
Mr.. Harvey is now in Davis camp ar
ranging to begin systematic and thor
ough development of the property Of the
new company. The capital put in by
Mr.. Clark will be sufficient, it is
thought, to put the Harvest on a pro-
ducing basis. If development should
yield favorable results, a wagon road
will be built to connect the mine with
the new San Poll wagon road, ais we'll
as with the railroad, which is certain to
go UP the San Poll to Republic this fall.
This move is one Of the most important
that has occurred in the south half, and
will give an increased impetus to things
in that district, as 1T shows that some
of our best mining men have faith in
the country.
