GOLD FOUND
HEAD VALDEZ
Pob Coles and Harry Brown located
a gold quartz ledge on the south side
of the bay between Fort Liscum and
the Narrows this week. The ledge
is three feet wide and the locators
traced it 800 feet. Samples of the
rock were brought to Valdez and an !
assay will be made. There is no !
doubt as to its being genuine gold j
quartz, the only question being, how j
much gold? The ledge Is clearly dc
fined all the way and of almost uni
form width.
The discovery is only a few miles j
from the Red Ellis property on the
other side of the bay, which a local
syndicate is now developing with
better prospects every day, and min
ing men are of the belief that exten
sive gold deposits may be found
around Valdez bay. Quartz gold wan 1
found in Solomon gulch and claims j
were located several years a?o. ? Val- 1
