LAY IS TAKEN
 ON STEEL CREEK
 MINING GROUND

The late developments on Steele creek have caused many of the min ing men to consider that creek as one of the possibilities of the camp. The recent location of pay by the Key stone drill brings Steele creeh to the front once more For the past several years nothing '.as been done toward the development of ground located there. but renewed activity is looked for this season.
 One of the latest transactions in that vicinity is the taking of d lay by Mike Rakich from John Pcuno- vich and his associates. The condi- tions of the lay agreement are that the laymen will install a plant on the claim within the next thirty days. The lay was taken on the ground that was prospected by drlli- ing. It is stated that pay was found in four of the twelve holes put down and the owners and laymen are sat isfed that a good-sized paystreak exists. Rakich was engaged in min ing in the Tolovana country for some time and recently disposed of his interests there.
