Find Good Values.
The Phoebe Double Dixie Mining COM
pany's holdings, embracing the Whisky
Barrel, Western Chief and Stockton
groups OF claims, have been so christ
ened owing 10 the participation Of both
the Yuba and Prince dixie systems, ira
Versing the greater portion OF the do
main and forming junction on the
property where considerable ore car
rying commercial values in gold, sill
yer and lead is in evidence in fact,
specimens can be selected which Will
yield assays carrying more than 500
per ton in gold and 1900 ounces in
silver.
The mineral dispositions bear a close
resemblance to the Demijohn, which is
partly surrounded by the Double Dixie
property as one Of the leading mines in
the Phoebe district. The DemiJohn
workings are near the boundary line
of the Double Dixie and they bear con-
elusive evidence that its ore bodies
trend with unerring precision into the
recently acquired territory assuring
with development, the equally valu-
able mineral assets of its neighbor.
Many efforts have been made in the
past by we'll posted mining men TO Sc
cure the property, but the owner
knowledge of it's value made its acqui-
sition difficult, as an almost prohibit
tive price was demanded
Give High Average.
There are a number OF openings on
the claims and in them some high
grade ore has been found. One shaft
which has a depth of 100 feet shows
a streak OF ore six inches wide with
an average assay OF S104, mostly in sill
yer and gold.
II has long been the theory OF Mr..
Coke that the Yuba dixie, which has
been the great Undertaking zone in
Phoebe, and the high grade vein that
is mineralized on the Prince Console
dated side OF the range, converge In
the Whisky Barrel property. This he
contends win make an enormous body
of rich ore.
