proved to be no strike at all, but
after some work was done, the ledges

man who owns the Clark ledge now,
II can be stated that the big strike
is il "a cropping twelve feet wide and
twenty feet high at the summit OF
the outcrop. The strike was made n
this outcrop, that is worn down to-
ward the south and disappears some
400 ieet away under the volcanic cap
that over lies the country.
Across the canyon in which the
strike was made, the ledge crops
again. and is almost as high as on
the discovery spot. 1t dips into the
ground agah and reappears on the
other side of the second gully, or
canyon to the south, in all a distance
OF about 1000 feet. The north end
aik4 into the cap at deep angle.
Parallel to this big ledge are five
other ledges almost as large, one
wider that carries lower values, bu
all carrying good values and some
with shipping ore at the surface
These lodges, like the main Glars
ledge dip in and out OF the volcanic
cap that covers the country.
Tae values are in free gold, sui
phides. and in silver and copper
though the latter Is very scarce in thu
rock. making ii fine free millin:
ore. Many small ledges run through
the district, all dipping to the soutl
west, and the formation is almoS
exactly that of Virgj- City, tra lcl!2

ha been done on them.
The Clark ledge has been called
bonanza with assays running as hi.I
az $500 -on. AS matter of fac
there. are stringers in it the thicknes
OF 2 deck OF cards that go as high a
S-on.o0o a ton. but these, as in a.
leG2es, are only stringers. and do no
enter largely into the net value g
the ore across the face. The Clar
ledge, on mill samples, goes betwee
$50 and 800 a ton, Though as stated
a portion OF it runs much higher an
another portion very much lower. bot
