covered what they consider the solution
 of the problem, in an immense sulphide
 dyke, running in northerly and
 southerly direction. This dyke varies
 in width from 100 to 300 feet. One wall | is granite and the other porphyry and
 the capping is of iron, burned in many i places, by a Combina ton of chemicals | CT from some other agency. The dyke contains no prominent outcroppings | and at such places as these do occur i there is nothing to indicate the exist
 ence of mineral bearing rock to an in experience ed eye, and even an ordinary | experienced prospector would pass it by ! unnoticed. MT. Munds has had twenty five years practical experience in min ! ing and prospecting and has also made
 a study of the subject theoretically | through extensive reading on geological formations, SO far as it pertains to mining, and as stated, after weeks of | thorough investigation was able to To- cate the boundaries of this dyke, a very | difficult task. as will be seen by any one looking over the ground. on account of
 it's being covered in most places, both l by thick layer of earth as well as by
 q dense growth of brush. A guIch in one place cuts across it and exposes ] both walls very plainly, as well as ex-
 posing the contents lying between it's | walls.
 | At every point in this gulch between | the well defined walls of the dyke, cop per and iron sulphides exist which give | a fair value in copper and gold, and at
 different points along the banks of the ! gulch small openings have been made.
 from which remarkably rich ore has
 beer taken.
 In prospecting the country on either side of this dyke Messrs. Munds. Kyle and Beach discovered a number of | ledges. ell of which pointed not only into the dyke. but to a certain central point in it. the lodges so far discovered forming sort of spolles to immense mineral bearing wheel The celebrated
 old U. s. ledge. which has become his- torical and which has been yielding
 such rich ore recently. has been traced clear to this dyke, and Messrs. Munds Kyle and Beach have located three claims on it between the U. s. claim and the apparent center of gravity of the dyke. Other lodges running into the dyke have also been located by them, as well as number Of claims on the dyke Itself, the number of their To-
 cations being sixteen claims in all. A company has been incorporated to work the claims. capitalized for S1.OO0.-
 900, of which S400, 900 has been placed Tn ' The officers of the company are com posed of the following well known citi-
 zens: W. w. Munds. president: Thomas
 w. Kyle, vice president: C. F.. Snider. secretary; George A. Beach. treasurer. The directors are the above officers of
 the company and J. L. Munds. who is
 now serving his second term as sheriff
 of this county and who is noted for conservatism in business.
 A prominent burn in the dyke has
 been selected as the point for commence
 ing development work. A tunnel has
 been run under the mountain to dis
 tance of flfty-five feet and at the end of
 this tunnel q winze fifteen feet has
 been sunk. Good sulphide ore has been
 encountered il this opening, running
 well in both copper and gold, the low
 est assay being & per ton and from that up to Si1. A sample was broken
 off the surface of the dyke at another
 point and brought to town and assayed
