BIGLOW TELLS OF
STRIKE IN TRE
i
\V. A. Biglow, one of the original
discoverers of the new strike on Foley ,
creek, in the Shushanna district, ar
rived in Cordova last night to buy *
needed machinery nnd equipment to
prosecute work on the ground.
While Biglow is Inclined to think
he and his partners have found good
ground, he says that at this time he
is unable to say for certain that pay 1
has been discovered.
Alter getting through the frost, into
the gravel, Biglow says they encoun
tered light flaky gold. As they went
deeper the gold became coarser, and
when they were driven out had found
ground that would go about twenty
f
five cents to the wheelbarrow. The
r
gold was heavy enough so that It
would sound when dropped into a pan.
The wash is described by Biglow as
$jpii{ar (T Jhat found in the Dawson *
pud Fairbanks ptmuti)««, Jt is aq 0i(l ■
channel which cuis a porphyry dike, ~
and has all the indications of carry
ing gpod pay. -u
has no Idea as to how far
they were from bedrock when driven
out by water, which, he says, could
have been handled easily if they had
had proper machinery, He and his
partners had brought a puftVp 65 miles
fro mthe Nabesna, hut when they set
,it up it would not work. They used
an ejector to keep down the water. 1
Phis worked all right until that too
iroke.
On the rim below discovery, It Is
lossible to get as high as a grain to
he pan, and Biglow expects that when
ledrock is reached he will have good
iay.
Associated with Biglow are McAl
ister and McCallum, who have ground
itaked on Koley. In all. Biglow says
ibout 150 claims have been recorded.
He already has had several offers
o let lays on the ground, but is de
ermined that he and his partners
hall first find out what they have.
