AGold Find

The last issue of the Oak Creek
Herald, reports:
What is generally believed to be a
permanent ore bearing ledge was un-
covered last week by Ed Reary and
George McChesnie while construct
ing the dam Of the Hughes-Chapman
reservoir, about IL miles south of
Oak Creek, on the head waters of
Oak and Hunt creeks. The ledge was
uncovered at n depth of approxi-
mately six feet from the surface
while removing dirt for making big
fill at the reservoir. At this depth a
well defined six foot vein WIS un-
covered from which several assays
have been made showing uniform
values Of $40 per ton in gold. Not
until we're made and a large number
Of claims staked by inside parties
was the news of the discovery given
to the public. Among the local
parties who have staked claims are
Vic Hughes, +. S. Chapman, Hugh
Chapman, Walter Chapman, Ed
Reary and George McChesnie. Be-
sides these, fifteen other claims had
been staked Monday morning, and
despite the busy haying season many
ranchmen have taken time to visit
the locality and stake piece of
ground.
Fifteen years ago DIR. Burlingame
of Colorado Springs, while hunting
deer in the same locality took n
sample from a ledge which assayed
SIS per ton in gold, and the recent
discovery is believed to be part of
the same ledge.
Arrangements are being made to
push development work to ascertain
the extent of the ledge. A local com
pany has been organized and suf-
ficient capital has been subscribed to
insure considerable development
work before the snow flies. If the
discovery proves to be what present
indications seems to indicate, it will
be the fond realization of scores of
prospectors who have searched the
Flattops for years in search of pay
dirt. For years it has been known
that somewhere in that locality WAS
lead of pay ore. Float has been
found in the vicinity of Crosho lake
and on the head of North Hunt
creek, only a few miles from the
reservoir, which showed good values
in gold, but not until last week when
the discovery was made at the
reservoir was there any conclusive
proof Of q we'll defined vein.

Eoad and atrsnath.

Remember that the food you take
orfe day supplies the strength you put
forth the next. 1t is then mistake
to take a heavy meal on the day OF
heavy work. The time to take 1t Is
the day before.
Wise stablemen know this. and
when n horse has a long days drive
before him they give him only what IL
called "check feed" a very light
meal. to be followed at night with
heavy one
So there are two good reasons for
mans not eating much on the day OF
stress. It adds nothing to his strength
on that day. and the process Of diges-
ton calls the blood to work at the
stomach when every ounce Of 1t is
needed at the brain.
