“DIME WILL PRODUCE QUARTER
OF A MILLION DOLLARS
IS TEAR” SALS JONES
_ I
"Dime creek will produce more
gold than Marshall and gives prom
ise of being the bigger camp” is the
opinion of Koad Commissioner Dan
A. Jones who returned to the city
from that section yesterday.
“1 have visited both of these camps
this winter and stayed there long
enough to get a line of what was
doing in the mining game. Dime is
sure a winner and will produce a
quarter of a million dollars this year.
There are about one hundred men
in the ramp, all working taking out
dumps Right hoists are chug-chug
ging hoisting the pay. Curley Lovell,
Gawerler and Gloor, Lars Gunder
son are in the money ns well as sev
eral others.
The extent of the pay has not yet
bene defined on the benches. Gunder
son has cross-cut 130 feet and is
getting yinto Jietrter Jnoncy all the
time. Ilia last thaw showed three
feet of pay which would go $2.75 Vo
the square foot of bedrock. And as
she is still pitching into the hill there
is a possibility of its being more ex
tensive with better values.
Mr. Jones consders the output of
the winter’s dumps will exceed ono
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
and that a further amount will bo
taken out during the summer which
will bring the total up to over a
quarter of million.
The bench ground is all frozen, and,
after a time, wood for thawing pur
poses will be hard to get. That con
dition will be off-set by using oil as
fuel for it is but a short haul of
seven miles from a point where scows
can get up from the coast landing.
Marshall, with but one or two ex
ceptions. is a summer mining camp
where the old time methods of ground
sluicing and shoveling in are resorted
to, where as Dime is a hoist and sluice
drift-mining camp good the year
round.
Itegarding the labor situation Mr.
Jones states there are enough men
for what work is being done, but that
there is not an Idle man in the camp.
