any time in the camps brief history.
4 sensational strike has been made four
miles south of the town of Gold Reed on
property which is being worked by
Salt Lake people under bond and lease
frsm Shockey and Nelson. Very rich
float was found on one of the claims and
the surface groupings ran as high as
$50. A shaft was started on the ledge
and after gaining depth of 10 feet the
entered. One assay on a picked sample
went S35,00O in gold per ton. The
greater portion of the country in the
neighborhood of this rich discovery has
been staked.
In drift extended on the vein and
oreshoot at the 100-foot level on the
Gold Reed Co.'s shaft there is now
showing three feet of pay ore and that
which is being sorted and sacked, is
good for from 5000 to 800 for each 1000
pounds and the lessees on block one
have also entered the ore body at
depth of 80 feet.
The work OF sinking new working
shaft to depth of so feet has been
started and there station will be cut
and crosscut run to the ledge, which
outcrops on the surface. Good assays
and paintings have been secured from
surface groupings.
George Lewis, the manager Of the
Kawich Gold Mining company, is feel
ing happy over the showing in that
property. The ledge has been entered
at the 1OO- foot level but no assays have
been made on the quartz. The lessees
on the Crown Point are saving ore in
their shallow shaft and assays on three

without sorting. 1t is splendid show
ing and undoubtedly rich shoot will be
found. Mr.. De La Fontaine said: "At
