AUTO HITS PLATFORM.

Saturday evening. after dark, Dun
can Smith, travelling for the Nutty
House, Seattle, and H. Mosier, con-
nected with the prosecutors office, q:
Wenatchee, had miraculous escape
from a very serious accident. They were
travelling in Buick coupe at a pretty
lively clip, and not being familiar
with the lay of the land attempted to
cross the railroad tracks on Main
street Now there is solid embank-
ment heavily timbered in along the
main track and across Main street and
the coupe struck that embankment
head on with a terrific thump.
Strange to say Mr.. Mosief suffered the
only damage sustained by the occu-
pants. His head was somewhat nick
ed when it shot through the wind
shield. DR.. Bevis patched up the sup
erficial hurts and the victim suffered
little Inconvenience from the exper-
ience. The coupe was considerably
disfigured. The machine was put in
running order Monday and the visitors
continued merrily on their way.

new road is connecting link between
the Blue lake and Golden highways
crossing the Marshall ranch south OF

another outlet to Oroville and as Mr.

feet. Six hundred feet lower down on
the hill tunnel 800 feet long will cut
lhe ore, figuring on the slight pitch
of a monstrous ledge or dyke that ap-
pears to be thoroughly mineralized, at
a depth of some 700 feet, which would
give stopping surface from which could
be extracted an incalculable number
of tons.
The merits of this property do not
rest upon what the tunnel mentioned
has exposed. In fact the tunnel was
not started haphazard without prior
prospecting. All over the ground
snlch the six claims cover are crop
ping indications of six well defined
veins, and the mineral presence in
those veins has been proven by open
cuts and shafts, one of which was
sunk 25 feet on the ledge to show the
continuity of the ore body. Mineral
was present in all these prospect
holes and under assay the samples
carried such values as justified fur
ther exploration. 1t was not until after
worth started to drive the upper tun-
mel satisfied that he would cut the
ore lense, or dyke, for the deposit
is too monstrously wide for a ledge,
and the result sustains the correct
ness of his judgment At the time we
were on the ground this week he had
just broken through the country rock
into the mineral body, which from all
indications promises to greatly i'm
prove as the tunnel advances
This deposit lies between black
limestone and porphery and is shot
with mineral The values are chiefly
in gold, although there is silver and
lead in combination. There is much
nrsenicaI iron, which carries the gold.
and the quartz shows large per cent
age of silica. Near the surface this ore
carries-a value of between Sc and $40
but a general average taken from the
tunnel, assayed at Portland. gives four
ounces in gold and $1.40 in silver,
making a total value of $S1.40. In
any mining district under the sun $50
gold ore would be considered high
srade proposition. but the appearance
of the ore is still improving and if the
values increase with the improved
character of the ore, then, if the Iron
Horse is not one of the biggest mines
in the country it will be the peer of
the biggest.
Those who know the ground in
which the Iron Horse is located have
no reason to feel surprised at the
presence of gold in the ore upon those
claims. 1t is in the very midst of a
gold ore zone which is amply estab-
lished in the workings of almost ad
Joining mines. Only a short distance
to the north are the old Triune and
Spokane claims, and from the former
in early days, we have seen some of
the richest gold specimens ever found
in the county. and besides, in it's time
thousands of dollars were milled from
ore taken from the mine. Rich gold
,ore was also found in the Spokane
and while those mines have long been
idle that does not detract from the
fact that the gold is in the hills only
awaiting capable management and
an experienced manager to tap the
hidden treasure. and it looks as
though the Iron Horse was carrying
out system of operation that would
eventually solve the problem.
