Vein Of Rkh Gold Bearing Ore
Stru(k Whi(h Is Said to GO
Over $1,000 per Ton In Gold.

Newton Hlbbs who came In from
the Leesburg district last Monday re-
ports very Important strike in the
old ltaliap mine, There has been a
sort OF tradition In that camp that a
pioneer placer miner discovered a
rich lead in the bottom OF bedrock
Dune on Arnstt creek, aud that he
cribbed up and logged over the shaft
which was sunk some ten feet to ex-
plore the ore deposit. After long
years of persistent search this lead
was discovered last Monday morning.
Pieces OF the ore, which were pre-
served by the old placer miners, weie
assayed from time to time In the
past and values that ran into the
Thousand mark were reported. Hun
dreds Of feet uf tunnel have been
driven into the hillsides in each side
of the creek in the yaia hope OF lind

at the point indicated as the discov.
cry by old Jimbers. The traditional
bonanza vas found in the place and
condition 10 exactly correspond with
the detail OF the old story, except
that the trend was with the course
OF the creek and not into the noun
tain-side where all the Efforts OF past
years have been directed at discovery.
That discovery is very important
TO the whole camp The ore body is
granitic quartz that trayerses the
camp in succession OF anticlines
and siuclines, reaching the surface
only at points OF excessive erosion.
This uiineralixed formation forms q
very extensive reef the occurrence OF
which is made manifest by this dis.
coyery. Mr.. Hibbs had formulated
this theory of reef occurrence during
the past three years of study OF the
formations OF the old placer camp
and the explored vein system. The
pursuit OF this theory solved the /
mystery OF the lost lead. and makes /
logical dip and trend of the low.grade !
reef formation of the camp.
This re-discUyered lead fed the /

that the strong arm of Law and order
will simply continue to be represented
by the American army and navy, in
stead of proposed strengthened native
forces. The United States has as
sumed the obligation of protecting

for this purpose that It reluctantly in
tervened and IL win not and cannot
rightfully leave the island until the
continuance of such protection under
native auspices is thoroughly assured.
II is not hopeful sign that revolu-
tionary influences are strong enough to
compel the abandonment oAso impor-

fers the withdrawal of the United
