Gu s TER COUNTY.

CASINO CREEKS Considerable
prospecting has been done in
this vicinity on quartz veins and
gold bearing porphyry dikes, of
which there are a number of
large size containing important
gold values in many instances.
Some of these porphyry dikes
carry specimen gold in pieces
that weigh as much as rs cents.
One of the most interesting of
these properties is the Iron
Crown, which carries two large
dikes offrhyolite, or quartz por-
phyry. 1t is situated at the
head of Fool Hen Gulch, small
tributary putting into the rich
Joe's Gulch diggings, and has
recently developed a big ore
shoot carrying average values of
$40 to $12 per ton. A crew of
five men are employed on its de-
velopment this winter, and a
large tonnage Of this grade of
mineral is expected to be under
cut by spring.
VALLEY CREEK MINE. The
Valley Creek mine, a short dis
tance above Stanley Basin, was
poorly handled by its operators
a year ago, and got into financial
difficulties with the result that it
was sold at sheriff's sale late last
fall. This is considered a very
valuable property by competent
mining men. 1t has an immense
body of So to $40 gold ore and it
is understood that the new own
ers will undertake it's further
development and operation next
season.
This property is equipped
with good mill, and if intelli-
gently handled should be opera
ted at a good profit.
CLAYTON DISTRICT.
| South Butte. Some important
shipments of high grade silver
lead ore were made the past sea-
son from the South Butte mine
on Squaw creek near Sullivan's
Hot Springs, which was operat-
ed successfully by leasers. This
property is located on the same
zone as the Redbird mine, which
has bullion record of nearly
| 81, 100000. 1t has some great
surface manifestations of min
eral in the way of big lead
bearing iron deposits and is
worthy of extensive develop
ment at depth.
The property of the Clayton
Mining & Smelling company was
idle during the year, and the
smelter at Clayton was not OPP
Grated, although the mines are
reported to be showing up some
fine ore reserves and the pros
poets are that a run will be made
with the smelter this fall. Its
idleness has been due to the
pending sale and consolidation
with some adjacent properties
and not for lack of ore.
Clayton and vicinity have some
fine resources of silver-l lead anC
high grade dry silver ore thai
are worthy of much more exten
sive development than they have
received. The operation is re
tarded a good deal by lack o
railway transportation 1aclllt1eS
The new line recently referred
to would pass right through this
camp and would surely result il
adding new and important life
to its resources.
The mountain slopes in the
l immediate vicinity of the towr
of Clayton have been noted fol

among the farmers on Maple Hill last
Tuesday for the purpose. of raising funds
for the purchase of threshlng machine.
Sufficient funds were guaranteed: and
the machine will be ordered at once: 1t
will arrive here iu ample time TO De put
into service this fall, there being sufi-
Gent crop of wheat, oats, rye and barley
in this vicinity to give the machine a
good test. 49,
The introduction of this, the first
threshing machine, into Cook County is
ansincident of more than passing impor-
tarce in the county's history. Hereto
fore, most of the grain raised in thus
county was used as fodder. The fail
was the only method available for sepa-
rating the grain from the straw, and the
expense and tedioasness OF this mode of
threshlng discouraged farmers from in-
dulging 10 this line Of agriculture. 1t is
felt therefore, that the advent OF q
thresher into the county will turn farm
ers' attention more to the growing of
those small grains in which the soil of
this county has been shown to be abund-
antly productive, thus marking a new
and brighter era in the agricultural de-
ve!opn'ent of the county,
This thresher may prove God send
to Cook county.
Aug. J. johnson has also ordered an
up-to-date mill capable of grinding the
coarser grades of -four, corn meal and
feed and which will be a valuable ad.
junct to the threshing machine.
