hauled in for a 40-ton smelter,
and the owners hope to have the
property shaped up as a pro-
ducer at an early date.
In Stanley Basin the Womacks
dredge was in operation during
a part of the summer and pro-
duced some important gold ship
ments. The Valley Creek mine
and 20-stamp mill made short
run during the early part of the
year, but the treatment of the
ore was not successfully accom-
plished. This property carries
a large vein with big average
values in a simple combination
of quartz and granite gangue
with pyrites and little further
experimenting ought to solve the
metalurgical question of its
profitable extraction
Some important progress was
made in the development of the
many interesting gold bearing
porphyry dikes and quartz veins
in the neighbOrhood of Joe's
gulch, Big and Little Casino
creeks at the east side CT the
Stanley Basin district, and it is
eminently probable that very
rich strikes may be recorded
from this locality In the near
future, for pieces of float ore
have been found among its veins
occasionally that have run up
into the thousands of dollars in
gold and silver values.
A prospector, accompanied by
a young boy, packed into HALEY
last summer two horse back
loads of ore amounting to 475
pounds weight, that contained
substantial values in gold and
silver. The assay results on the
lot yielded at the rate of 1,O2O
ounces of gold rnd 456 ounces of
silver per ton, and he received a
check on the Haley bank for
81, ,54S. Is in settlement for his
475 pounds OF ore.
1t would be very interesting
to know what district this ore
came from. The fact that it
was partly oxidized and full of
native gold indicates that It was
mined at no great depth. and
weakens the probability of its
being stolen ore from some 9th
er state. The man said it was
from a prospect he had discover
ed on Salmon river, but he re-
fused TO divulge that particular
part of Salmon river he had got
ten it from. Heated under the
I blow pipe, and touched with nit
ric acid small chip of the min
eral that looked like fine iron
sulphurets in blueish quartz
gave a very pronounced reaction
of tellurium, but the grain of the
quartz resembled the ores of
Stanley Basin.
