great values in gold ore and the mill
is being put in repair to get greater
values in working the ore.
Some mining men will come this week
to examine the gold mines belonging to
Will Watson. Mr.. Watson has
valuable property and gold ore on the
dump waiting reduction that makes
the eyes of some people green with
envy. Good for VIII. He is a rustler
The great want of the district is an
matchmaking mill by the pan process.
Some miners recently examined some
of our mines and they say there are
thousands OF tons of ore in sight of
good values in gold and silver that
would pay well to work but the mine
owners are not in circumstances to
build mill.
Very rich ore is being extracted from
the New Century mine in Exchequer
Canyon. This mine is the north extern
sion of the Exchequer mine producer
of millions above water level and now
awaiting capital to pump out the water

tunity for capital.
1t transpires that there was no no.
nance in the mining deal with Messrs.
Simon Davis and Willie Burke. Mr..

experience since 1850 on this coast, had
secured an option from Willie Burke
on the mining claim paying down $3.50
and had begun operations when Mr..
Davis discovered it was In part on his
ground and informed them, when Mr..
! MCGEE ceased operation and Mr.. Burke
refunded the deposit paid. Mr.. Davis |
seeing it was a valuable property
secured the portion of the claim belong
ing to Willie on the same terms as Mr..
MCGEE had his option. 1t was cold
business proposition. This in connec-
ton with the mines owned by Messrs.
Seigal Bros of Salt Lake City and Mr.
Davis is very valuable property and
ere long will be heard from.
