the Seven Troughs and the kindergarten,
took me down into the Kindergarten
workings. The investigation showed that
there is ore throughout the mine. Lit
orally thousands of paintings from sam
pies taken from various parts OF the
property have been made, and there has
not been one instance in which. as u .
gangue was swirled out Of the pan, the
gold did not CLEAN at the bottom. And.
best of all, in this property, as in all
others that have been opened 20 any
depth, the values increase materially as
depth is attained and the ore bodies are
bigger
The Seven Troughs is worth detailed
description. The most remarkable pan

Of the foremost men in the district and
an expert miner whose experience covers
a long period of years, started the work

Treasures of Seven Troughs.
Sounds sensational enough. doesn't it2
But any man who has been into the Sew
en- TrOughS district knows dozens Of more
sensational stories. OF course all the ore
in the Seven Troughs mine isn't that val
liable If it were, and If the mine held
it in any quantity, it wouldn't be long bel
fore they would be making cooking Uten-
sis and telephone and telegraph wire out
of gold. The Seven Troughs mine has a
shaft down 500 feet, making ii the deep
est mine in the district. Six stations have
been cut and the workings from all OF
them are in ore, ranging in value from
few dollars up to thousands per ton.
The Seven Troughs has the phenomenal
record Of having paid a large proportion
of its development campaign BY high
grade ore reduced IN a crude retOrt. There
are $500 tons of $50 ore on one dump
awaiting the erection of the mill and by

amount throughout. Then there is
waste dump that contains thousands OF
tons Of ore Of lower grade. but its val
ues will be extracted one of these DAYS.
/ The Seven Troughs mine is a potential
! bonanza. Make no mistake on that point
The Seven TrouShs district is at this
| time passing from the prospective to the
productive period on its history Here is
district twelve miles long with min
eral zone two miles wide II is nor
claimed that the zone bears ore contIn-
uously from end to end, but ii has been
demonstrated that work along the vein
