W. L. COCHRANE MAKES
A RICK QUARTZ STRIKE
What is said to tie the discovery of
the greatest importance Lo Nome lias
been made on Boulder creek by W. i.
I'ochrane of the Boulder Mining Com
pany through the unearthing of a gold
quartz deposit containing almost fab
ulous values on the properties of that
company. Samples of the ore which
have been seen by various Nome peo
ple are of exceeding richness and the
gold content has been variously esti
mated at from $10,000 to $15,000. Gold
can be seen scattered freely through
the rock and choice specimens are esti
mated to contain values as high as
$25,000 to the ton. Five hundred
pounds of the rock so far extracted is
literally shot with gold and from the
statements of those who have visited
the strike there is an unlimited
amount in sight. According to the
statements of Mr. Cochrane himself,
he has panned as high as $6.15 from a
panful of the partly decomposed sec
tions of the ledges which were dis
covered below the bedrock, surface.
The find was made at the bottom of a
pit some two hundred feet in length
which was being mined for placer gold
and which formerly bore an overbur
den of alluvial gravels about ten feet
in depth. The uncovering of the bed
rock revealed a multitude of stringers
frotn three inches up to a foot and
more in thickness all of which are
thickly permeated with the precious
metal. In addition to the values con
tained in the quartz tile schist country
rock in the vicinity of the veins also
curried values equal to the quartz. The
bedrock is literally streaked witli num
erous veins crossing in every direction
but the larger bodies all follow prac
tically one general trend. In a gen
eral sense the veins run at right angles
to the trend of the country rock which
Is designated as chloride schists.
The belt in w hich the find is located
in about six hundred feet ill Width and
has now been traced for uver a mile J
! running along a limestone dike which j
j appears to cross tile country lo the |
west of Snake river, along the eastern
slopes of the hills. Several quartz ex
perts who have inspected the veins
uncovered on the Cochrane properties
state that the rock is clearly in place
and the vein can be called true fissures
in every sense. A hole about three j
feet in depth has been sunk on the
largest ledge so far uncovered and,
although the development is slight, an
appreciable increase in values is read
ill perceptible. In the opinion of those
who know whereof they speak the
strike is the most important that has
occurred in this region since the orig
inal gold discovery and nil are of the
opinion that it means nothing less
than the beginning of a new period of
industrial prosperity, in this section.
Mr. Cochrane states that the discovery
wtts made several weeks ago but for
obvious reasons has been kept quiet
until the present, although value ru
‘Tirs have been circulated during the
past week. At the present time there I
is no open ground as everything has ;
been located for a mile or more around
the strike by those who were on the
inside. All who have seen the locality
agree that there is an abundance of
the ore in sight and it is apparently
of great richness. Tt is also stated
that the location is such that it can
lie very easily mined by open cut
methods. From every testimony it
would appear that the development is
one of the greatest moment and if the
prophecies are an indication Nome can
confidently expect a speedy rejuvena
tion with the opening of the ground
along commercial lines.
