Good Report From Big Creek

Very interesting reports have
been received by w. A. Edwards
respecting developments on the
Tellurium ledge of the Apex group
on Government creek west of Big
creek. While he was at the camp
the ore was opened up on the sur
face and showed very satisfactory
values. At a depth of few feet
samples showed values twice as
high. Now he has received news
from his men working the property
that the values have further in
creased in a remarkable manner
with additional depth. Specimens
of fine quartz taken from the bot
tom of the incline shaft being sunk
have been sent him. These show
gold to the naked eye in consider
able quantity. -Statesman.
