IN THE CLEAR LAKE DISTRICT

There has been more activity in this district during the past two months than for years, numerous strikes, be- ing reported. Among the most i'm portant strikes was one made by James Fraser, original locator and part owner of the Twin Peaks Mines. While prospecting in the Black Will low vicinity and doing assessment work, MT. Fraser, uncovered a big ledge of fine looking quartz, which pans readily. The dike is about 30 feet in width, and crops for dis tance of about 75 feet. The ore from this dike closely resembles the Clear rich in values to make big milling proposition.
 Work at Clear Lake is being pushed rapidly with force of about 35 or 40 men and the American Exploration Company has it's mill installed. They have considerable ore blocked out and this with the custom work which will be coming in from the immediate vi cinity, will tax the capacity of their mill.
 A road is being surveyed from the Apache Box to Clear Lake, where they expect to mill part of their ore. This property promises to be one of the big things of the world, consisting of a mountains of low grade ore with high grade chutes.
 There is also much activity at he Twin Peaks, and they have started to stope in earnest, and are getting out lots of ore. They are shipping their oxidized ore and three four-horse team are hauling to the railroad. This ore, shows free gold all the way through, and their vein is from three to five feet in width. This vein crops on the surface for over a mile, and shafts sunk all along show this same high grade oxidized ore. It is the opin- ion of some of the best experts in the country that the Twin Peaks have enough surface ore alone, down to 90 feet, to say nothing of their large bodies of sulphide ore to run a big mill for an indefinite period Paso Mining Journal.
