At the expense of four years of inces
sant prospect ip, involving the labor and
thought <>t hundreds <d mtiins ami the
establishing ami demolishing <»t almost
as man.\ t)if;ot *es, as 1° t .hf s<*uree ot the
souices of thr gold found m the cieeks <*i
this distinct, it appears now to be the
generally accepted theory that the bars
are beyond question the fountain head.
That instead of the gold ha^ mg been de
posited in tile creeks as thev now exist
by the wearing away ol the mineral for
mation, it is fed from tile ancient chan
nels running, in a groat many instances,
at angles to tile streams. This has been
substantially proyen m> far as the work
oil the creeks is concerned, and the limit
ed work on the bars.
To instance one case we will begin with
Hunter on the north and cover the coun
try south as tar as Florida creek, where
one defined ancient channel running al
most parallel to big Minook furnishes
tile gold lor Idaho b.tr that is no.v b dug
extensively worked by John f». f um ln ,
m truer loi Brainard ot Seattle.
The famous No. «S above, kittle Minook
appears to be above tile center of the de
posit along with 23 k.M..jr. ami 20 IIoos
ier, which seem to mark the crossing of
the channel on these creaks l>elow which
all of them have g.ven goo l returns, and
prospects this winter are sufficient to
warrant the opinion that all these creeks
cut another pay streak nearer their
source.
A Welcome Ilcs^oncp,

You have doubtless learned ere
this of the alleged “strike” made
oil Washington creek, just above
Circle, ten days ago. I hope it
will prove good for there is certain
ly need ot a discovery of good plac
er ground or available quartz, if
the lower river is to keep pace, in
point of development, with the
country hereabout. Very truly
