Good Hydraulic Property
8uoh suggestive names as Hid
den Treasure, Gold Creek. Kldora
do, etc. applied to placer ground in
this section have come to be re
garded by prospectors at a sure
sign'of the barrenness of the ground
so named, but this summer has de
veloped one exception to the gen
eral rule. This is tlie Hidden
Treasure group of claims on Chis
tuchina, located by John Xoke6.
The claims are on the btnch of ti e
river about a mile above the Chis
na. The rim crops at this place
with about twelve feet of wash on
top, all of which carries gold. A
short flume 'was - put in this sum
mer to test tlie gtoilnd, * and the
results were so gratifying that sev
eral parties are figuring on leasing
the ground next season. The gold
is coarse, 25 to 50 cent pieces being
common. The rim breaks off into
the Chistuchina, giving an unlim
ited dump, and the creek crossing
the -ground carries several sluice
heads of water, makidg it very
easy to work. Tt is an ideal hy
draulic proposition.

sented except Alaska.
