IfEW SHE
ON EAST FORK
Martin Matkovitch and George Bar
net returned last night froui a pros
pecting trip up the East Pork. They
were successful in finding at a
high elevation, & very large ledge of
fine looking ore. From its app ar
, ance the ore would seem to run
heavy in galena and gold.
Mr. Barnet says the ledge is about
twenty feet wide and the hanging
will which is exposed is of a light
gray granite. He could not. say what
the foot wall is because their exam
ination was not extensive enough to
determine that part. They were sat
isfied that they had something very
promising so they staked their claims
and breaking off some samples re
turned to town for more provisions.
It is their intention to go out in a
few days and make a more thorough
investigation of their discovery.

AMONG THE
MINING MEN
Clark and Wilson moved np to
Whistler's Gulch Thursday night d?*
?3pite the fact that the fire Is still
burning up through the East Fork
The energy they are displaying In
their efforts to betfn the developmer.t
work on their properties, the Dolly R
and the Hoosler, has caused com
mendable comment about town.
They took supplies Including tools,
provisions, and powder to last some
time, and will establish their camp
f :r permanent operations. That they
nre earnestly at work, means some
tiling for the town for It is under
stood by those acquainted with the
property that it certainly looks like
winner.
Herman Rirhter is busy over on
his claim just around the corner at
Fortune Ray. He has started a ne*
tunnel and Is drilling hard to get
out ore for the sampling mill to test
for him.
Other people are planning to com
mence active operations as soon as
the forest fires slack dow n a 111 tie
that they may reach their prop
erty in comfort.
The slight rain of this morning will
probably bring some relief to the
prospectors who have been harassed
for the past several days by forest
fires.
