Shortly after the Chandlar strike was J
made Marsh was on the ground, and re
ceived the appointment of commission
er of the new district. Concerning
this go'd strike, Marsh is very conser
vative in his opinion. He says, how
ever that for the real prospector who
gets in and digs acd has the grit to stay
with it, the country offers an inviting
field. Last season 128,000 was taken
out on discovery. Just a few days be
fore Marsh left there some prospectors
had reached the bedrock at a depth of
140 feet, thirty miles below the original
discovery, and uncovered exceedingly
xood prospects with indications that
they were un the verge of an old chan
oel.
Important quartz prospects havo
been found along the the oontant of In
