flow Tli« I»o(vh An* Finding (iol«l In An
Ancifiit Channel— Much Work
Ik Proposed.
That the ancient channel theory is in
favor with the miners, is evidenced by
the ainou it o wurk being laid out by the
bar cia m owners in the various districts
and the exhaustive and systematic man
ner in which it is to be done. Not un
like the Klondike creeks, it is character
istic of ours to yield abundantly say,from
the mouth to a certain point, all the
while tile gold getting coarser until the
prospector rinds his pannings getting fin
er or possibly finds no gold at all.
That such should be the case quite not
ably resolves itself into a puzzle to tue
people given t > t :e c a e of the lickle nug
get, ana as a solution, they resolved that
trie ex stence of til is undeniable fact
with the other explanation at hand, was
convincing proof that at these particular
pouits where crossed the gold the crock s
must cut an older deposit thereby getting
its supply of wealth and now that the
tide ha* turned in favor of this work we
predict the richest strikes in the camp to
be the result.
During the past summer McDonald
and Thomson located two claims on the
McDonald bar which is cut by Florida
creek and so far as prospecting in sum
mer would permit found encouraging re
sults. So satisfied were they that they
intend placing nnicaiuery o.i the ground
and opening it up after tne close of their
winter’s work on Florida.
Trenipe and Young have a large thaw
ing plant which they intend working on
th dr claim on the same bar facing 1 loos
er creek on the north and Miss Parke,
whose property is only one claim to the
south intends doing extensive work dur
ing the coming season.
Early in the season Tliumm and Booth
by moved their thawing plant from L.M.
jr./o California bar between L. M. jr.,
and Hoosier and have one shaft 45 feet:
deep and another well on the way being |
the first of a number of holes intended to ;
cross cut the entire ancient deposit
if necessary, to locate the pay strjak.
Idaho bar w ill have additional macliin- ;
ery to that in operation on discovery and j
uie Hunter benches wfill receive their j
quota of miners during the summer. j

The Bishop's Requests i
To the people of Rampart: What
will thi people of Rampart do this
win ter on behalf of the poor in need
of hospital care? It is most like'.y
that before cold weather p isses there
will be persons in your midst, to
whom you will have to afford some
measure of relief. Last winter St.
Andrews Hospital cared for such
patients under an agreement with
the City Council, for the people,
but of the sum of $150. earned by
the Hospital for such service, it has
been paid by the City Council only
$24. a balance of $126. remaining
unpaid. St.Andrews Hospital is
I ready to eo operate with the people
in this work; but being without any
| appropriation fiom the Board of
Missions and without any outfit tor
the use of patients, it cannot affbrd
to stand practically alone in the
breach again this winter. It will
be obliged to decline to receive -
and this verv much to its regret
