canyon and Seeley bar. The as

concentrates and the official data
sheet shows that a test made by
amalgamation gave 1.81 ozs. gold
per ton, value $63.43 including
some silver, and that another
test made by fire assay gave
226.6s ozs. gold, 1882 ozs. silver.
with q total value of $7,959 per
Ton. Ihese essays were made Feb.

pany which is making preliminary
tests preparatory to doing placer
mining on a large scale, was re-

The claims on which this CON-
pany plans to work cover prac-
tically the entire river area of
the Big Horn canyon in Carbon
county and the Crow reservation
side OF the river in Big Horn
county. The claims on the Car
bon county side of the river were
staked by Oscar Sullivan and as
sociates of Hardin over a year ago
and permission to mine in the
canyon was granted August IA,
1886, by the Federal Power COM
mission of washington, D. c., to
the claim owners. Mr.. Sullivan
and associates were instrumental
in getting the members of the
Big Horn Placer Mining Co. in
terested in the canyons gold pos
sibilities and sold the claims to
them. The placer mining COM
pany also was the successful bid
der for mining the river area on
the Crow reservation by promis-
ing a liberal royalty to the Crow
Indians of the gold values in the
placer beds. Prosnectir" in the
canyon by Mr.. Sullivan necessi-
ated the making of five trips into
the canyon bv boat, one of which
trips nearly ending tragically
when the boat capsized and all
provisions lost. Long hours of
apprehension and hunger was the
result. His determination to make
a thorough examination of the
canyon was due to reports, which
he believed authentic, that other
prospectors had found nuggets at
bedrock in certain areas that
ranged in size from grains of
wheat to as large as peas. His
examination convinced him that
the placer claims were valuable
and forthwith staked them.

agency and the department officials
will also determine the magazines,

ground, the state as an ideal site for
new industries and new business de-

near the Virginia line, which from the
first have adhered very closely to the
prices charged in the Virginia stores.
Chairman Moore declined to COM
ment on the mark-up system to be
used under the new price lists, but
1T is believed that the new lists will
be based on a SO per cent mark-up
and delivery charge of Is cents per
case, with the counties having to alb
serb the state seven per cent sales
tax out of the SO per cent profit they
will be permitted to make 1t is
kOWn that some of the counties want
ed the prices based on so per cent
profit margin with an additional al
lowance OF five per cent to partially
cover the seven per cent state sales
tax, but it is not believed that this
will be done.
It was intimated. however, that the
State board has managed to get most
of the distillers to reduce their whole
sale prices sufficiently to take care
Of the reduction in the retail price
lists so that in almost every case the
counties will continue to get so per
cent profit on all sales, even under
the lowered prices. Indications are
that some of the distillers, when faced
with the alternative of reducing their
prices or being left off the price list
of the state-county stores in North
Carolina, quickly revised their whole
sale prices to the state and county
stores.
Only pints and quarts will be solo
in the stores from now on, except l..
