vein matter a replica thereof, both in
appearance and value. The presence Of
silver sulphides is markedly noticeable
in the quartz extracted at each lease
hold. The find proves the continuity
of the ledge for a length of 400 feet;
namely from the north line of the Grutt
Mining block to the south line of the
Marigold block. f. II. Scott, Of
the Marigold company, is now in camp
inspecting the find. He believes it
places the leasehold in shape to main
tain regular shipments, an opinion in
which other well known mining men of
the camp coincide. The eompany's gal
lows-frame is now in place, and the
hosting plant is being installed.
Hooligan HILL Coalition
The lease on block No. . on the Sun
beam claim of the Coalition company is
being developed under the supervision
of George Goeppert, Jr, and Peter
Bangier. They recently transferred the
leasehold to the Hooligan Hill Coalition
Mining company. The shaft on the
block is down 90 feet, where is exposed
a 2ta foot body of milling ore. Sinking
is to continue until a depth of 1s5 feet
is gained, and at that level a crosscut
will be run out to contact with the
ledge of blue sulphide quartz exposed
in the Sunbeam eompany's workings,
adjoining. Peter Bangiar is the man
who opened up the ore for the Sunbeam
people. He has traced the several lodges
into the Hooligan Hill Coalition block,
and states his belief that they will
prove as rich in milling and shipping
grade ores thereon as they promise to
be within the confines of the Sunbeam
block. A hosting plant is to be in
stalled at once.
The Consolidated Placer
Plans have been formulated for the
comprehensive development of the 500
acre estate of the Rawhide Consolidated
Placer company, located on the fiat Civ
ing way to the south from the town
site. Since the very early days of the
camp that section has been prospected
as placer in a desultory way, but it is
now the intent of the Consolidated
company to reclaim its riches through
the medium of hydraulic and other mod
ern placer mining equipment. That the
acreage will amply repay such efforts
is evidenced by the fact that the great
er portion of it yields an average of So
drawback to the mining of great wealth
from these auriferous sands is the lack
of water. 1t is the intention of the be-
aforementioned company to obviate that
difficulty by establishing a pumping
plant on that portion of the acreage
lying at the edge of the dry lake. A
water supply is to there be conserved
and pumped to a storage reservoir to be
established on the apex of a nearby hill.
From there it will reach the MOBILES of
the giants by its own gravity.
What the Ground Offers
Your representative made an ex-
animation of that portion of the estate
paralleling. or lying adjacent to the
former river channel the present week,
being piloted over the ground by Super
intendent John X. Friend. Numerous
paintings were made from the near
surface gravel and always with ample
repayment in way of golden colors.
Time after time the pan was scooped
full of the auriferous alluvial deposit
and never did the result in way of gold
indicate a value below $50 the yard.
The old river channel has been proved
up for a length of more than four miles
by means of numerous shafts, and for
the most part on the estate of the Con
solidated Placer company. Twelve OF
the ~company's claims are on the chan
mel, and six others parallel it. The
main shaft is down so feet and from
surface to a depth of IS feet averaged
So in gold to the yard, according to the
statement of Mr.. Friend. Below that
point and to a depth of so feet, he
states the dirt averages So per yard.
He estimates that bedrock will be
reached at a depth of 100 feet, where
he anticipates values will run as high
as $35 per yard. The latter valuation
is based upon the average reclamation
of gold at bedrock at other points on
the e~estate. The very high grade pay
Gravel has a width of from 3S 70 20 feet
and a thickness of from 10 to % feet.
There is no question in the mind of
your representative but what the dirt
can be made to pay, and pay big. if the
