\ few days ago William J. Berrie
found a. large piece of float near Lynx
creek which was rich in free gold. run
ming into nearly a thousand dollars per
ton. l have known of others finding
rich free gold Specimens in the same
neighborhood and have found some
myself. There must be a very rich
vein or lode in that neighborhood. but
it seems to be what is known as ii
blind lead. There are several veins
here showing free gold but they are
only partly developed. the surface indi-
cations showing that in the near future
there will likely be big camp here.
Preparations are going on now for con-
siderable development work on these
free gold prospects. Work is now GO
ing on in the mine owned by the terri
torial secretary. commonly known as
Happy Jack mine. All the development
work done here that have seen shows
fair sized veins but principally low
grade in value.-Corresponde of the
Prescott Prospect.
