lioue last SATURDAY on WndI Is known
as the Gladstone quartz claim near
Whisky diggings, one and a half
miles from Gibsonville. An upraise
was made in the tunnel, being driven
to tap the vein, and the ledge was un-
covered, showing a width of about three
feet, as near as could be determined
at the time, and from which gold values
estimated at $50 per ton were secured
by panning tests. The Gladstone claim
is owned by Sacramento syndicate
of which G. A. Root is manager. Seven
men are now employed on the property.
A rich strike was reported in the
Kelly or Rose quartz mine on Poor
mans creek last year, and it is stated
that later Developments have uncov-
cred ore even richer than was at first
reported. The erection of a two stamp
mill on the Rose quartz, for testing
purposes, is said to be contemplated.
