HUNTER CREEK KEWS
A Busy Creek Just Now—Gold There
The Stoel & Swanson party, who
have taken a lay for several years
an 18, 19, 20, and 21a on Hunter
creek, have just completed a big
darn on 25a. This dam will sup
pi) the flames that will carrv toe
water on the benches below. The
dam is 100 feet wide and is firmly
anchored so that it will be almost
impossible for the heavy spring
freshets to carry it away. The on
ly danger to be apprehended is the
ac cumulation of drift wood, but a
system of booms above is expected
to reduce this danger to a mini
mum.
The Bevere Bros. & Hammond,
aid Myers, Johnson, & Cowan are
working lays on the lower end of
17a. They are openi ng up a large
face and wheeling the dirt directly
into the boxes. Rim rock is about
15 feet above the creek at this point
and the waste is easily handled.
Wages is being taken out now the
pay being in five feet of wash and
a broken up bedrock. The writer
picked up a $2 and a $7 piece there
saw pans picked at random off the
face that washed from 2c to 20c.
Johuson has run in a tunnel about
30 feet and is now on the edge of
what may be the old channel, as
bedrock takes a sudden pitch at an
acute angle toward the hill.
Considerable work will be done
below discovery by Hall & Stub
blefield. They will gronnd slnice
the benches, which work on this
creek will be the first in the min
ing history of tL is district.
Collinette, Tuenberger, and Cap
Johnson also contemplate working
their ground this winter, so taking
everything into consideration this
creek will turn out many thousands
in the yellow7 metal the coming sea
son.
Sporting Now* Not««.
The ten round go between Sam
Barber and Kid Gallagher at J. C.
Hall on Sept. 4i:h promises to be a'
good one. Tee purse is $p>o and
gate receipts; winner to take all.
The contest is on its merits, will be
on the square and both sides are
coufident of victory.
i The ten round contest between
j Joe Martin and Jack Fitzpatrick
| last Saturday night at J. C. Hall
| was well attended by the local
j sports. Harvey Morse acted as
| referee and declared the contest a
1 draw at the conclusion of the tenth
i round. Martin was in poor condit
ion and Fitz had all the best of it
for the first four rounds. If Fitz
had done more leading instead of
acting on the defensive throughout
his superior condition would have
entitled him to the decision, as it
was it belonged to Martin.
The wife of J. Stanley presented
j him yesterday with a daughter.
| Both mother and daughter are
progressing nicely.
