RICH GOLD FIELDS.
Gold Bearing Quartz Found Near Tete

Gold Bearing Quartz Found Near Tete
jaime Cache.
Great Falls, June 2.-The latest news
from the Yellowhead Pass-Tete jaime
Cache-and it's gold fields, is brought
by party composed of Fred Holiday,
+. NORM and j. Longtin, which arrived
in Golden this week.
The party left Golden with their pack
train on September %, and were "a days
in reaching the Cache, having had to
double-track in order to take Price and
Evans outfit along as well as their
own. They reached Swift Current Oc-
tober 10, and set to work to prospect
the creek, which work was continued
till December 10, when the freezing up
Of the creek prevented further work.
Excellent prospects were obtained,
showing from to 80 cents to the pan.
No bedrock work was done, but the
depth to bedrock where the party To-
Gated at the foot of the falls is not very
great-not more than IL feet, and in
some places the bedrock can be seen
sticking up through the bed of the
creek. The party located for themselves
and friends about a mile from where
the creek joins the Fraser. The best
prospects were got below the canyon,
the wash running Is to 20 cents to the
pan. The gold taken from the rim rock
was very coarse and there is every pros
neet of rich ground being got at bed
rock. The party located 600 feet of
ground, and toward the mouth of the
creek gold was also found, but
it was fine. The creek Is rough.
with big boulders, and some Of
it will be hard to handle, but
a good deal of it can be worked at any
time. High water is experienced in July
and August from the thawing of gla-
ciers The party put up a cabin and
built dam to divert the water for
washing, ran a cut to drain the ground
whipsawed lumber for sluice boxes and
rifles and got all in readiness for work
when they had to come out for provis-
ions.
There is abundance of gold-bearing
quartz in the vicinity of Tete jaime,
the gold being visible to the naked eve,
and this quartz covers an are of six or
seven miles. The formation changes 40
miles this side of Tete jaime Cache,
and the party reckon this country has a
great future before it as a quartz min
ing field.
There are other creeks which show
prospects, and on which no ground has
yet been located. These are Baptiste
creek. IA miles below Swift Current.
and Quartz creek, seven miles further
on. On both of these creeks colors
worth 10 to Is cents to the pan can be
got right along.
