couriigliig prospects have been found.
They may be l'illll'll $5 to S2O diggings.
1 But very little can in done there lit-tore
‘April or May. as the men are not prepar
‘ed to work yet. and are onlylfetting read
} and prospecting their groun s.
3 The ledges which made these places are
at the head ol the creek. and cross the
Icreek tuiee in a distance ot about two
:lul.es. There is but one belt of them.
which is about3ooo feet. wide. and in it
‘tlie six main ledges run parallel to each
lollicr. besides a number of smaller veins.
l but Which are. taken in by the main loci
;liOils. as these an: only about 300 to 500
feet :ipait. and are from 6to 30 feet in
1 width. 'l'liese lodes. which show bold
cropping for over 3 inches (so far as l have
been on them). hold wry regular in sizi
and distance apart. and the whole length
show the richest kind ol ore. l have
made upward of a hundred assays both
fire and Wet. and the lowest assay out of
the very poorest vein of quartz. yieldml
$33 per ton. while the average of my a~-
says. which might also he called the aver
age of thc ledges. are $26 per ton. and
run from SIOO to SSOOO per ton; and then
I have net-er yet usxiyed any spi-ciuiens.
'l'lie ledges were rcsmctively called the
Jamestown. 'l‘aholi. Bilz, North Slur.
Montana. California Zodes. and on 'each
theie are claimed already six locatiom ol
1500 feet t'flt‘ll.“’llll plenty of tire on all ot
them. In the creeks lay tiiousands oftonn
oi the richest ore. every piece of which
shows the gold plainly. and a good many
of the placer claimi are valuable for the
quartz which lies on them.
This gentleman has had other pros
peeling parties out. One of them
found a silver Ore district. He has
received samples of chloride and bro~
mine ailvor ore, argentiferous galleria
copper silver glance, autiinonial ail
ver and sulphurets of copper. *‘This
is called Morrisania District. He
promises to visit it in the Spring. If
the results of his search for [rich ores
are '.half as good as he seems to be
liove, Alaska has a future as a mining
country.
