AURIFEROUS DEPOSITS AWAIT MACHINERY
TO COMPELL THEM DISGORS£
THEIR WEALTH.
That the halt has aever been told will
be confirmed by next years clean-up
and that the half has not been found even
where we have had good returns, is being
proven to the greatest satisfaction of the
camp. Some s ru u o’ s a 1 s that have
been heretofore unsiiimountable have
been successfully ovev come. Water on
some of our best creeks has rendered suc
cessful work impossible w thout employ
ing machinery. Peck and IHirfey, on
and 14 Hoosicr. have taken the initiative
in the use of steam pumps and s plums
tor clearing the bedrock of water with
til? result that they are now sinking
shafts and otherwise opening up their ex*
tens.vc works first to putting on a large
fore.:* ol workmen: That tills enterprise
shall meet with just compensation is as
sured by the quantity of gold that has
1 n'tvvo years past been taken from the
v moils propos.t ous on the creek by
working only such parts of bedrock as
were dry, thereby forcing the miner to
work reefs and rims.
Kven lose fragments and less valuable
parts of the ground have shown some of
the finest gold that Alaska can boast.
It cxcells not only in large nuggets but
c irrics an assay value of $ip,66 and large
pick ups are a thing so eo.11.110*1 the min
er whose p ck-ups for a shift does not
amount to his day \s wage is not coniment
e 1 upon and 110 surprise is attendant
upon a pickui]) of$200 a shift or nuggets
fro n $20 to £250.
Hoosier offers farther advantages in its
depth to bedrock and nature of the de
posits. The total absence of slide matter
which is such a detriment to most of our
cheeks, is very beneficial to the miner,
allowing at least twice the head wav to
bi made in sinking and drifting. The
upper creek pay being overlaid by 10 to
12 feet of cleas mack vv.iile the lower bars
an l benches are almost solely gravel near*
lv all of which thaw during the summer
months and lies well under water for
ground sluicing.
