Lower Lynx Greek, July 15, 1902 Editor Journal-Miner: Thinking that a few lines from this bust ling little placer camp might be of interest, will give you an outline of what is doing in this section at present. Placer dirt seems to be all the go here, not much being done in quartz in the immediate vicinity. At the White Horse camp, couple of miles south of us, things are boom ing. New machinery is being put in and lot of water tanks erected for storing water.
 Dunn x Murray, at the head of Jack Rabbit Flat, are doing some work on their fine property. The vein is now the full width of the shaft, about four feet of solid quartz, which will average better than S15 in gold for the full width.
 The placer claim at the Lynx creek crossing, recently owned by Messrs. Linderman & Norton, has been sold to McLellen Bros., who have put a force of men at work pros- pecting the ground. The prospects thus far are very encouraging.
 The next claim above is the pro- perty of John R. Davis, who has cross cut the creek from rim to rim by tunnel at water level and Is now preparing to work the main chan nel, where he hopes to be remuner- ated for the large amount of work he has done in prospecting.
 Uncle John Fisher, who owns the next claim up the creek, has given an option to a party of Colorado people, who intend developing the claim in the near future.
 On the mesa immediately north west from the crossing on Lynx creek is an immense deposit of auriferous gravel, which was discovered last fall by A. B. Wilkins. Four claims on the deposit are owned by Messrs. Goldsworthy & Wilkins, who are de- veloping the same by a cross cut tun- nel on bedrock. At the face of the tunnel the gravel is about fifteen feet in depth and getting deeper as the work advances into the mesa. The extent of the deposit can only be conjectured as yet, but that it is wonderfully rich gravel has been de- termined by rocker process, by pack ing water up the hill on burros and working the dirt" as it is taken from the tunnel. Every shovel full taken out contains gold and, as far as pros pected, will average somewhere be- tween S2 and 8 to the cubic yard.
 On the east side of the creek, just above Fishers claim, on top of high mesa, NJ. H. Ensign is working bed of gravel similar to the Wilkins dis covery. He is working it by rocker process and packing water from the creek. He reports making good wages.
 $. Nj. Boblett and Charles Tyler are rocking up some good bedrock on the claim of the first named gentle man.
 NJ. D. Latin is doing the title work for the Printers Syndicate on some very promising gold-copper claims on the east side of the creek, above the Seven-mile house. They are showing up very well.
 G. W. Murray is the only orchard man who will have any fruit tbis sea son in this vicinity, late frosts having the fruit in the other orchards.
 The range about here is very dry, the stock is looking good. If it don't rain soon, scarcity of water in the valley will cause considerable loss to stockmen. L. A. W.
