TOLOVANA HAS
GOOD OUTLOOK
FORJUTURE
That the Tolovana district has one
of the brightest years ahead of it is
the optimistic view of the people
located there. A late arrival from that
live camp confirms the late reports
concerning the proposed activities for
the coming season and gives a world
of information regarding that section.
Concerning the operations now go
ing on and those planned for the
coming season much is said. On the
Ready Bullion claim in Livengood,
back of the town, Clarence Dorfllnger
has a working shaft down and is at
present blocking out ground for his
summer operations. This is the claim
on which Crook formerly operated.
Next above him Charley Lynn and
Dave Cramer are blocking out and
also will work a large crew when the
water runs; they have 800 cords of
wood already on the ground and a
large plant. It is reported that this
firm, owing to the ground being easy
to work, will use a plow-like contriv
ance in the face of the drift instead of
the usual point method, the gravel
being loaded into the bucket by the
wheelbarrow plan.
Ernest Peterson, on the Love lease,
has been employing about twenty-five
men all winter in taking out a dump.
On the Toney bench a party of seven
Slavonians are taking out a dump.
Next above them Herman Price and
Charlie Clausen, who have been em
ploying ten men all winter, will have
considerable dirt ready for sluicing in
the spring. Iverson & Co. have seven
or eight men taking out a dump. On
the. Moore ground Frank Gilardy and
Jack McMahon are at present putting
down a work shaft and will work a
crew this summer. On the Lietrim
claim Fontas & Co. have two good
sized dumps out. One of these was
taken out la3t year but they were un
able to sluice owing to the scarcity of
water. They now have about twenty
men and ■ are blocking out for the
summer work. Next above them are
Albin Martin & Co., who are working
tep men and have out a good-sized
dump ready for sluicing. On the Mari
etta claim Lou Colbert and Ed. Wash
berger are employing eighteen or
twenty men and have been busy all
winter taking out a dump. This claim
will work a large crew the coming
sluicing season.
Harry Patterson had ten men em
ployed all winter taking out a dump.
Mr. Patterson is using an underground
scraper in his operations and is highly
elated over its success. Mike Kelly
and Jim Samson, who are operating
across from the mouth of Amy creek,
are employing twenty men and have
about the largest dump in the camp.
This is the claim on which the ver^
rich pay was recently found. Next
above them are the Bostrom brothers,
who have a crew of about sixteen men
working and have almost as large a
dump out as have Kelly & Samson.
Up at the head of Livengood, in the
vicinity of twenty-two above discov
ery, several men are engaged in pros
pecting, among whom are Ed. Garner
and McMullen and another man
named Hanson.^
On Amy creek, at its mouth, John
Mathison is putting in a plant for
drifting. He also has an open-cut
proposition there. Erminson & Co.
(the Finns) have fifteen men working
and they also have out a good, big
dump. Charley Holky has a plant on
'j the War association claim and is at
present blocking out ground prepatory
to the summer operation. Kelly &
Co. are prospecting further up the
I creek on the Union claim. Toney Tro
| seth & Co. are also trying to locate
I the paystreak on the Mutual claim,
p At the head of Amy Jack Nelson and
j* 1 Sommerville have an open cut propo
| % sition. Teddy Hudson has a man
1 helping him in prospecting across the
L creek from the Nelson workings.
At the mouth of Lillian creek Dan
I McCarty. Jr., and Joe Moran have a
( dump out waiting for sluicing. Billy
1 Barker, one of the original locators
i on Lillian and who has been ground
sluicing there every summer, has
l built a fine frame residence. Rumor
a/i has it that owing to Billy having spent
■ > last winter Outside back among the
H old folks in Indiana the way he is pre
■ paring his new home has rather a sus
piclous appearance.
■ J Several outfits are at present pros
■ / pecting on Ester creek. Crosby Keene
is working with his drill at the mouth.
I Oh Olive creek George Wheeler in
■ tends operating his ground and Jim
I Hudson and Jim Elwell will resume
I their big open-cut mining as soon as
■ conditions will permit.
I Concerning / the outlook for the
■ West Fork it Is stated that after sev
I*
r .
eral holes had been ‘bedrocked and
much drifting done Without uncover
ing anything in the nature of a pay
streak everybody left that section
with the exception of Napoleon Bona
parte. I,
Brooks merchants are feeling very
optimistic for the coming season. The
social activities of the camp are still
kept up, a dance being held weekly
at Hoffman hall. Other local activi
ties include the building of an addi
tion by Billy Mahan to his store. A
new laundry has been opened at 8
Brooks by Fred Allison and Mrs. n
Gailion. J
It is thought that nothing under the a
sun can prevent 1919 from becoming v
the banner year in gold production for c
the camp but—lack of rain and a ^
shortage of labor. a
MANY MILLIONS i
TO BE SPENT :
ON PROJECTS:
- i
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.—To re
lieve employment caused by the dis- c]
charge of returning soldiers and sail- (
ors the city of San Francisco has ord
ered that these men be given the pref- (
erence in employment on the $14,900,
000 projects that the city has on its pro
gram for this year, and if there is a ^
ready market for bonds 4,000 men will
be given work on one undertaking
alone and 2,000 or more on the
others.
The outstanding improvement will
be the construction of important units
of the Hetch Hetchy water system, 1
which is being built to bring water (
from the High Sierras to the bay re- £
gion. This calls for the employment E
of 4,000 men this year and the ex- ^
penditure of $10,000,000. In addition ,
the building of $3,000,000 worth of t
schools and $1,000,000 in street work f
has been called for. (
The great Hetch Hetchy project i
calls for the construction of a $4,000,- 1
000 dam, a $1,000,000 power house, j
eighty-six miles of tunneling and a j
sixty-eight-mile pipe line. It will re- 1
quire five years and the expenditure : f
of $40,000,000 more to complete the [ ,
enterprise. <
The city is striving hard for a <
market for its bonds in the hope that ^
the 4,000 men will be put to work in
the next few months.
In addition the city is filling all ,
other positions possible with men
who have left the service. Those
who took the places of soldiers on the
city's payroll are ^being dismissed as
the men return.
