STRIKE
Bowen & Cooil have struck rich pay
on the high bar adjoining 20a creek
claim on Little Minook jr. Pans rang*
ing from 30c to $1 hove been washed.
" The pay is two and one-half feet thick,
the bed-rock pitching toward Little
Minook side, and into the hill. The find
was made in a shaft sunk just outside
v * the line of the creek claim, and is ten
feet to bed-rock. A tunnel will be run
into the hill, and the dirt . conveyed to
- . the creek for sluicing.
. .The strike has created considerable
stir among the advocates of the cross*
country old channel theory, who have
long claimed that rich pay would be lo
' cated on the bar between Little Minook
and Junior. The finding of pay on this
bar by Bowen & Cooil certainly gives
. the believers in the old channel the best
of the argument. The pay found is at
least 400 feet from the pay channel in
the creek and over 100 feet above it.
Frank & Graham have ideated the
ground adjoining Bowen & Good's on
the south,, and Nichols & .Hawkins .on
the north. Frank & Graham moved to
their ground from Hoosier Wednesday,
and will immediately begin to sink on
on the bar. Last year the latter sunk
a shaft on the bar between Junior and
Hoosier, but did not get bed-rock at
100 feet. Ail indications point to a rich
paystreak on Little Minook jr. bar..
Old Landmark Gone
i «
The big spruce tree, which stpod at
the head of Boston creek, has blown
down. All that now remains of the
_ venerable landmark is a splintered ano
battered stump barely six feet above
the rground. The lone tree has long
been used as a mark to locate the sum*
mit of the divide separating Boston
‘ from New York creek, and also the
..point where the turn must be made to
strike Big Minook. There is many a
* man in this district that owes his life
to tiie friendly direction of the old tree.
Swanson & Howard are working in
the 3Q’s on 1 m jr.
Nichols & Hawkins are taking out
- pay on 22 1 m jr. Toward spring, they
will sink some shafts on the high bar
adjoining 24a on the tight limit
