CLAIMS TO MAW MADE
VALUABLE DISCOVERY
In a letter to the editor onlie
Whitehorse Star, Captain II. S.
Mach, of Carmacks, Yukon, but
now at the hot springs, claims to
have discovered the mother lode
of all (he placer gold fields of the
Yukon basin. Iii his letter Capt.
Hach describes his discovery as
follows:
The ledge is over 50 feet in
thickness, lies flat or in blanket
form and is located at from 5,00(1
, to 0,000 feet above sea level. Its
| ,-ulor is mostly brown or yellow—
red in some parts—and is known
as 'Hydrous Jasper.’ Not one
prospector in a thousand would
notice this rock if lie found it, but
it is a quartz. The schists found
in all the. mining camps of Ihe
Yukon basin is mostly from this
rock and none of the camps be
low the 3,000 foot line show this
quartz in place. The hydrogen
in the rock forms moisture and
where the air can penetrate, the
freezing thaws slivers olf the
schist, which finds way to the
lower levels, where it is discov
ered as placer gold. The age of
ibis rock will he determined by
geological tests this summer.
“Most people imagine they can
knock off nuggets of gold from
a mother lode, lull this is a mis
take. For example:
“A creek basin two miles long
by one mile wide covered with
quartz 50 feet thick with gold val
ues of nnc dollar per toil would
give a deposit of gold nuggets
JO feel deep in a creek which is
100 feel wide, while rock which
contained hut, one cent per ton
would make very rich diggings.
“The sediment found in all
mining camps in the Yukon basin
is composed of Ibis rock ground
in a paste or sticky mass, brown,
. yellow or red, the reduction being
due to frost and movement as
well as by chemical action of the
elements contained i nthc rock,
such as sulphur, zinc and other
metals—such as lime, oxygen,
chlorine, etc. Much of the gold
is crystalized after it leaves the
mother lode.”

The following account of the
Teslin strike is taken from the
Jun-au Dispatch:
Everybody knows “Bill” Drury,
of Taylor, Drury, Pedlar & Co.,
and they know that he is not a
man who will either praise or
| “knock” without just cause. Mr.
! Drury returned Wednesday night
' from Silver credk, the scene of
| the reported rich gold discovery
; 30 miles back from the east end
!of Lake Teslin, where he staked
two claims, and to which report
ed rich Held people are now rush
ing from all parts of Ihe Pacific
Northwest. Asked his opinion of
tin- country. Mr. Drury said:
All the excitement concerning
| Silver and adjacent creeks, five or
six in number, have been creat
ed by Indians who claim to have
found coarse gold in that. local
lily last year. I did not see that
gold, nor did I see anyone who
had sden it. This winter the In
dians returned to the district and
staked many claims. They were
[followed by white men to the dis
trict who staked, and when I left
Allin a few days ago upward of
300 claims had been recorded and
applications were coming in ev

dications were as good as they
Could possibly be, but none of
them had sunk any holes or found
Any gold. Skookum Jim, who went
to Seattle three weeks ago, has
circulated lurid stories concern
ing the country, and has, I am
informed, been instrumental in
starting a big stampede to the
country trout tower coast, points.
“From what I could learn of
the country it is not even as
promising as Nansen and sur
rounding creeks and that, as ev
eryone knows who is posted, hits
ndver warranted any stampede.
