1T IS A VIRGIN DEPOSIT

Bert Ford, a placer mining operator OF
Madison county who visited Butte TINS
week, contributed the following article
to the Alder Gulch Times of last week:
For the past twenty-five years the et-
forts of the prospeotor has been confined
entirely to an u~nceasing search for gold
on the Gravel range proper and the va
rious creeks having their origin, where
once had this famous auriferous streak
laid unmolested. That they have been
in error l will endeavor to show, after
three years Of prospecting in this dis
trict, and the spending of many thousands
of dollars, in finding what in my judg-
ment is the real condition of things.
That the Gravel range was at II time
an immense river channel has more than
Cnce been verified. Though glacial ac-
ton is in evidences in places, there is
too much sedimentary matter, and the
gold wash grit that naturally collects in
a channel Of this magnitude, to attri-
butte the deposits to any other agency,
as their evidences are beyond the manu-
featuring possibilities of a glacier.
That this channel was the scene Of an
upheavel is also quite evident as the
