liamsbure. has returned from the
scenes Of the new gold discovery at
Ilse and is much impressed with the
showings made BY the several pros
poets. He has staked claim. an OK.

drive 500 feet and ut the same time
make 500 feet depth.

on the Andracich farm that is more
than Ave feet deep and all the pay
stuff has been taken ont in less than

one and the values run clear across 1t.
Mr. Morgan heard that the FIVE. ton

test the right Of Andracich holding
the land. According to . decision OF
the supreme court the original owner
can have the land revert to'him.
Morgan says that the present scene
Of operations ia not far from Junkins
park, the scene Of q wild excitement
last year. There IL only . ridge
Of mountains that divide 1t from
Ilse. The ground is. we'll staked by
persons residing In that locality and
me outside men are going in.
The best strikes have SO far been
made on decided ranch land. but
there Ia yet some government land
that can be located but In these Ger.
tain place, the mineral seems to be
silver and lead chiefly The main
draw back to the country will be the
limited amount Of governments land
available for mineral purposes. But
the land that can be secured 10 good.
Nothing defpits can be said about
the permauency Of the camp % yet -
there has been no deep prospecting.
The deepest mine there is the Frank.

people. and this Is About 600 or probas

in :he bottom but when the new

At present 1t appears to be . Loor

values are fond on surface In most

Mr.. Morgan saw free gold on the
dumps Of prospects that were work.
ed thirty and thirty Ave years ago.
Az that time though gold was not
sought after ~ much A. silver and
the gold was not noticed by the
prospectors There are many such
prospects. Morgan says. but they
have all been relied In the last few
days by people who we're fortunate
enough to be on the ground.
The mineraiizsd zone ~ far as the
Williamsburg man could determine
embrso about two quarter sections
but may be . great deal larger. or
even smaller. He traced the Terrible
lead over the hills distance Of twelve
miles. This 10 the famous lead that
produced so much capitalized lead
many years ago and would have been
producing yet but the mill that treat.

places the lead IL from fifty to sixty
