a ances, and under favorable conditions

from $40 to $50 per day. But this is
n the only claim in the district in which
II very valuable discoveries have yet been
o made The gulch in which the discov
cry claim is located has been staked
from the summit of the mountain tt
Il the point where it empties into Cana!
! Cove creek, there being six claims II

ID trable brush have prevented close in
If vestigation. There is, therefore, virgil
