DR.. Dowdey returned this morning
from Maggie Gulch, near Eureka,
where he has mining property. He
'xpresses himself well pleased with
existing conditions. which are espec-
tally propitious Just now. The DR..
says he is working FIVE men on nine
claims. which we understand are the
real thing. There are few gulches re.
ceiving more attention than the Mag
gle this season. The Eureka Explor.
alton company visited their property
the Ridgway, just a day or two ago
and were well satisfied with the ap-
pearance of things. Dr. Dowdy also
stated that several good sales are now
pending, none of which are below $50.
900 He would not say whether he
had any intention of selling or not,
but volunteered the information that
anything in the gulch. well located.
was worth developing. The leads
are large and of buish and whitish
quartz. with more or less lime. One
wall is usually porphyry, with iron
for the menstruum and trachyte for
the country rock. From a geologic
nj point of view, no one could ask for
finer formation in which to mine.
The large number of shipping prop
critics in the gulch is also an induce.
ment to those owning claims to hold
on and develop When 1t is remem-
bered that these properties hav all
hen opnd up during the past five years
1t shows plainly the rapid progress
made. No camp of its size ever ex-
hibited a better showing In so short
a tine.
