THE sNoWDRIFT DUMP.

This dump, now owned by your
company, is an accumulation Oh ore
discarded from the picking tables OF
the Snowdrift mine at the time when
ore of less value than $50 per ton
could aot proftably be shipped for
treatment.
The assays of many samples from
this dump run from 20 ounces to 40
ounces silver per ton, with umcient
values in lead and gold to pay treat
ment charges. Carload lots shipped
to the smelter to sample the dump in
bulk, show over % ounces silver per
toa.
During the numerous tests | have
made to determine the most economi-
cal process for recovering the values
in your ore, had taken from this
dump various bulk samples, averag-
ing 300 pounds each, for experimental
purposes. The loves. value l OBJ
tanned from these samples was $36
per ton the highest, Sill per toa, in
silver, lead and gold. have no DOUBT
that higher average values than those
SO far obtained will be secured when
the interior OF this dump is treated.
estimate the tonnage in this
dump to be approximately leo,ooo

 Prospecting is pretty hard over here: everything is wet and hard to get down.
 Now about the good" creek over here which is Willow creek. This year will be the banner year here if nothing is found more. The creek will produce about $50O,O0O this coming summer ($270,000 last two hundred men and no more than 250 under most favorable condi- tions at mining. The claims to De worked are One below, Discovery One Above, Two Above, Three Above, Four Above.
 There is also known pay upon five above and two below: neither of them will be worked this sum- mer By the way, Five Above was worked before the freeze-up last fall and some money taken out about $1.50 to the square foot but it's owners forgot to record 1 the assessment work so party staked it on April 1.
 No. above is the last claim or the creek and pretty well up the l hill so you can figure out the water 1 problem (no watershed).
 No. 3 below is deep ground and hard to work. It takes a very Ions drain and then they have no tafi ing room while it is a little toe light to stope,
 From Two Below there is EC known pay, few holes to bed rock and a whole lot not to bed rock or account of water which may make a good dredging proposition.
 The paystreak is hard to work the picking and shovelling is very hard: muck or clay and rocks witt a rough uneven bed rock. The pay runs from a dollar to five dollars square foot and is from fifteen to
