SKYKOMISH. June l3.-Con4derahle ac-
tivity u now apparent on Money creek.
Two properties-the Apex and the Grand
Central-haye been worked all winter, but
now others are to Be operated, including
the San Francisco. Damon and Chicago.
Apex.
On the Apex contractors are now enter
ing on 475-foot piece Of work In the lower
tunnel. which will take them to the lead
and along 1t 80 feet. The orc here II arse
80 principally gold. Much work has been
done. and much high-rade ore shipped.
The property presents indications OF .
valuable mine. The owners have stopped
out an ore Shute 60x60 feet, which was
more than usually rich. and In the lower
workings the indications point to this In
creasinG in size. The assure Ii very pro-
nounced and clean. the ore generally on
the hanging wall. the pay streak running
from eight inches TO the size of the work
inss. John F. Stevens. chief engineer OF
the Great Northern. and John Maloney. Of
this place. are the owners.
Grand Central.
This property IL owned by the Gold
Mountain Mining Company. The Groupings
here are antimonial, with also chalcopy-
depth. A crosscut has been run In 800
feet, when the foot wall Of the lead-a true
assure OF large dimensions-was broken
through. Here was found well mineralized
granite gangue. and in drifting to>the right
and left innumerable etringers were cut.
The trend Of these led to the belief that
the pay ore would be on the hanging wall.

new work changes have already occurred.

formation with bodies Of very pretty white
quarts. while the naturalization has also
changed. the chalcopyrite coming in In ex-
cellent quantity and the iron decreasing.
It = the intention OF the company. on
reaching the hanging wall. to begin sink
ing. and thus open up the ore body. The
Grand Central looks well. and Is a prop
erty that might easily be made dividend
payer.
San Ffanclseo.
This IL copper-gold proposition. and .
handsome one. with clean three-foot lead.
containing two pay streais. A tunnel has
been run in on the lead. proving its per-
manence and value. The Gold Mountain
Company, owners. have let 10o-foot con-
tract here. and the indications justify the
statement that when this contract Is nm
ished they will have q mine. and q blg
one.
Damon.
Work has been begun on this prospect.
John Aaloney Is the principal owner. Il
has the same characteristics OF the Apex,
and bids fair to become equally valuable.
Chicago.
Much development work has been done
on thie property and It II understood q
large force Of men will be put on very
shortly. 1t is big iron proposition.
This IL in King county. and the county
commissioners have established a road
eight miles in length, to Camp Rest. just
below the Apex property. The road viii
add value to the mines and cause develop
ment OF others.
There are many good prospects from one
end to the other Of Money creek. and when
they are developed the whole section win
prosper
