MONTH OF PROSPECTING
 REWARDED BN LEDGE

A ledge of gold-bearing ore one foot in width, samples of which contain gold that can be seen with the naked eye, constitutes the dis covery made on the Empire quartz claim few days ago by Foster and Hungerlord, quartz prospectors, says a recent issue of the Fair banks Times. Arrivals from the creeks brought in reports yesterday concerning the latest find on old Chatham creek. The discovery has gladdened the hearts of the two prospectors, who have been tracing the float oi the ledge for the last few months,
 The find is on the right limit of Chatham creek, immediately east of the spot where E. C. Willis is working on the Jupiter-Mars prop, erty. The Empire claim is about a quarter-mile from the creek, and is about half way between the workings of the Chatham Mining company, hear the head of the creek, and the property of. the Pioneer Mining company, on A. Chatham.
 The men have started to trace the find, and are reported Co be having considerable success in their work. They plan to start sinking on it shordy, and intend to de- velop it as rapidly as possible.
 Tanning tests made of the rock show that it is very rich, so much so that the prospectors are jubilant and are seeing visions of stamp mills and Cleauups

COMET QUARTZ CLAIMS

The Lynn Canal Mining Co is abandoning further development work on the ore bodies Of the Hor- rible group of claims at Comet and according to a statement made to- day by General Manager l. R. Ball. the operation of the twenty-stamp min, which was leased eight weeks ago from the Ivanho people, has ceased NIr. Ball had a force of men at Comet au summer.
 We found it physically impos- sibIe to extract the values from the ore encountered, said Mir Ball to- day. "by reason ot the heavy ,oss in the sluires. Our mill ran eight weeks this summer, but only about 90 per cent Of the assay values were saved after milling"
 The Ball interest constructed a tram to convey the ore from .he mine Co the mill, one span being .373O feet long, carrying three bOO- pound buckets, of SO tons capacity, in ten hours. This is said to be a record in aerial tram construction The tram will not be dismantled.
 The Horrible group is owned by Portland capital and has for a num- ber of years been a puzzle to the mining profession, by reason of the failure to economically extract a paying per cent. Of the gold iu- Heated by assay test
