| DerlO ROCCO, on tne Mustang EX-
tension has dirt averaging $40 to $12
a yard. He is drifting under the
south side Of the gulch, beneath the
wagon road, some of his best pay
being there.
7 Dakovich brothers and Maudich
have had about the same grade of
gravel for several weeks. Their
operations have grown in proportion
recently until they have found it
necessary to install a gasoline hoist
to replace their hand outfit,
Ben Zinin continues to make a fine
profit on his own labors as well as
that of the two men in his employ.
His is a suitcase from DRY Wash"
Wilson who last spring removed from
there to the lower gulch.
A new suitcase from Wilson, also
on the Mustang Extension, is that of
! Joe Magnetic, Nick Magnetic and
Louis Emedevo They have barely
started work on bedrock but are find
ling pay.
The hosting plant of Nouebaumor
on the Rainbow has been removed
across the gulch to the north where
new shaft has been put down as
a drift through the tunnel southwark
toward the old workings. AS soon
as this is working satisfactorily the
plant on the Wolftone lease will re-
sumo and both will be operated at
once. Recently in this lease consid-
/ cradle rose quartz has been picked
up in the pay gravel sand some of
the gold is distinctly reddish hue
The rose quartz has long been a mys-
| terry locally as to its source, nothing
like it being found in any of the
Manhattan mines. Placer men agree
that the Manhattan hills yet contain
"a secret in the form of a great
mine or several of them, from
whence this abundance of rose quartz
has come. Suspicion points strongly
to the Bald mountain watershed as
the probable source.
Tilton, Wilcox, Willetts and Rich
ardson, ON the Wolftone Extension,
have been engaged for several days
opening new ground and storing the
waste in old drifts that were driven
during the Wilson regime. They
have fine pay.
In the Butler lease the whole
width of the wet channel is being
crosscut at the upper line of the
claim and with a deep stump the wa
ter will be handled successfully. This
! promises to be one of the richest
spots in the gulch, excellent grave
having been developed some time
since The water problem there il
difficult and has caused lot of de
1 lay, but it is not impossible prob
I lem and in fact is being solved per
, manently now.
J. c. Stephenson and Thomas Car
{ roll, Round Mountain men, hav'
taken over the lease of John Valy,
I on bench claim adjoining Butler OF
the north Water is obtained from
Buffers place and the dirt is washed
without further handling than t
wheel it cut Of tunnel on the rim
Foster brothers and ]. NJ Dreno
: have lease on the Bissell propert,
at Central. At present they arr
washing up the old waste dumps ant
state that they are extracting there
from an average of $3.50 yard
Considering that they only have L
shovel the dirt into the sluice boxe
this is exceedingly attractive The.
also have considerable virgin grount
to be stopped
Dry Wash" Wilson is working oil
gradually increasing scale on hi
ground is opened and room mad,
for more men. His drifts are prett,
well along now and stopping has be
gun. He is by far the largest place
:. outfit in the gulcb, with eapacit!
equal TO 4 dozen others and it add
: extensively TO the general outpu
r OF the camp.
