Rich Quartz Strike
 On Greek Boy Mine

What is considered by reputable mining men to be one of the most i'm portant strike in the history of min ing development in the Berner's Bay section has just been made on the Greek Boy group of claims just a short distance southeast of the fla nous Jualin mines. According to re port it is the richest strike made since the palmy days of the Comet mine, now known as the Kensington. It con sists of a rich pocket in the ore body encountered at a depth of 450 feet where they have been drifting on the ore for a distance of 900 feet. This ore body is 15 feet wide on an average and is low grade mostly. The rich spot has a width of $ feet.
 A. l.. Nadeau, superintendent of the Jualin mines who is now in Juneau has seen some of the rock and pro- nOunces it the richest he has ever seen from that section of the country. T feel confident" said MT. Nadeau, that this mine will develop into great property. t is easy of access and has all the advantages of cheap transportation which will be of great benefit in the matter of development"
 The Greek Boy has been under de- ,eiopment in a small way for nearly twenty years and is now apparently nearing the stage where it will be classified as produced. It is the property of Joe Dumas, Stewart Woods and George KaragiO.
