TEXAS ROAD BIDS
 TO OPEN ON 16TH

Recent advices from Juneau announce that bids for the pro- jected Texas Creek wagon road will be opened in the capital city on June 16. The opening of the tenders was originally scheduled to occur on May 26th, but was post poned to the later date for some undetermined reason.
 As reported earlier, the pro- ject embraces construction of 3.4 miles of road extending from the Salmon River high way to a point on the West Fork of Texas Creek near the switchbacks on the present pack trail.
 The proposed highway will be of vast benefit to the min- ing interests of that section, hitherto greatly handicapped by the absence of wagon transportation, and permit the opening up of a large and highly mineralized district.
 It is understood that tenders for the work have been made by the Carlson and Johnson- Gardner companies, in addit- ion to other prospective bid ders.

A total of 65 persons responded to the cleanup call and fifty men worked throughout the day at leveling, grading and cleaning up the plot, which was also considerably enlarged through the removal of a number of trees. All the low spots were filled and the high spots were graded off. The construction of a number of terraces added considerably to the appear ance of the ground.
 The "big mulligan," which forms a feature of the annual cleanup days of the Associat- ion, was prepared by Mrs. I. N. Hoguewood, assisted by a num- Der of the ladies of the camp, and Alex Frazer. Cake, lemon ade and other refreshments were also Ion tap" to the workers and were much appre- ciated.

An ore body 12 feet wide has been cut in the main tunnel on the Washington group on the south fork of Marmot Riv- CT, according to reports re- ceived during the week by R. E. Lundvall, general manager of the Washington company, who arrived from the south q few days ago.
 News of the strike was prot to MT. Lundvall by members of the mine crew who came down Friday.
 MT. Lundvall had not visited the property since his arrival and news of the find came as a pleasant surprise. According to the reports of his men the vein lies between clearly defin- ed walls and is we'll mineral ized. As the men had overlook ed bringing down samples of the ore he was unable to ac- curately judge it's character or mineral possibilities. The vein ic ono nf O caTioc Of XuoIl dafin ed leads found on the proper ty and on which considerable development has been done in earlier periods.
 MT. Lundvall left for the property this (Monday) morn ing to see the new lead, which appears from the reports to be a most important development.

As the greater part of the film releases are mediocre at best-and a large percentage even worse the exhibitor must possess fine discriminat- ion if he wishes to avoid the "lemons" and secure pictures of the class displayed by MT.

The work of placing the ma- chinery and supplies of the Premier Company on the loft. fly situated Prosperity group is proceeding at a good pace de spite unusual difficulties due to trail conditions and the ac clivitous character of the coun- try.
 Packer Jack Rennie, who has the contract, has advanced the outfit as far as the Green Point cabin, about half way up the mountain and about 4 miles from tide water. The cabin is at nearly 5000 feet elevation and about the same distance below the Prosperity, hence much additional labor will be required to land the outfit at it's destination.

RICH ORE LOCATED
 ON BIG MISSOURI

High grade ore showing as- say values close of $2,000 per to has been encountered in what is known as the calcite cut on the Big Missouri. A fragment of the ore picked up at random following a blast gave assay returns of 80 ounces in gold and 761 ounces in silver, according to MT. s. A. Knowles, superintendent, who informed the Herald that the chunk from which the big assay was obtained was picked up by him at random from ore broken out by shot during the recent visit of Jas. l.. Freeburn, former operator of the Chichagoff.
 The cut in which the ore was found is located on the west side of Silver Creek and some distance west of the old Mann tunnel.
 Specimens of the ore brought to town by MT .Freeburn show ed both free gold and native silver, the latter in great pro. fusion.
 MT. Knowles stated that the ore body in the cut is four feet wide at the point where the rich ore was located but averages about two feet as far as stripped and is part of the same body from which they have been getting assays show ing from 4 to IA ounces in gold since February.
 In reply to a query regard ing the extent of winter devel- opment, MT. Knowles said the work done has been largely exploratory and aimed at in- vestigating the ore occurances. A number of valuable deposits have been located. Ore of ship ping grade resulting from de- velopment operations has been sacked but shipments are not contemplated at this time.
 Having taken charge of the property in December, when deep snow prevented inspect ion of surface conditions and development MT. Knowles has been laboring under diff culties but nevertheless ap- pears we'll pleased with the results achieved and describes the present development situ- ation as very encouraging.
