Rex Creek Operator
In Town
Art Powell, the Rex creek cp
erator accompanied by Iiis wife
arrived in the city from his prop
erty tlie first of the week.
In an interview with a repre ,
sentativeof the News Mr. Powell
stated that the prospects for the
coming season look very favor
able, the ground that was open
e<i up just before the freezeup
being quite rich One man rock
ed out thirty-six dollars and a
few cents in twelve hours. This
gold was taken out at the work
ing face of the cut and no par
ticular attention was paid to any
j one spot. The paystreak at this
place, averages about seven or
j eight feet and carrying from
thirty to thirty-five feet of over
burden, all of which is thawed.
During the past >u miner, Mr.
I Powell and his partners had the
most discourageing season. The
initial cut was made about live
jhundred feet above the present
workings, and to get a sufficient
grade the grou nd sluice had to
be sent through a tunnel to Rex
Rex creek, there being a high
rack dyke between the old chan
nel and the present creek bed.
The tunnel was continually be
ing choked with boulders, neces
| sating continual shutdowns. The
progress made, however would
j have been sufficient to warrant
. the expenditure of time had the
| ground not been pockety and
the bedrock sloping away.
After the cleanup this fall, Mr
j Powell prospectee down stream
i until he found the break. He
| cut through and is nowin shape
to make a good cleanup in 1924.
Mr. and Mrs. Powell intend to
spend the winter in M’Carthy,
and are fixing up their cabin.
Art states that there was a
j quite a lot of game on the head
of Rex during the past summer
