Outcrop at Head of Fourth
Of July Creek.
The copper belt in ihe range east of
the bay has been picked up again in a ,
new place by Roggs. Redman and ! let
tie. this time running northward from
tlie Likes claims at the head of the
gulch rising from Porcupine bay. to
the bead of Fourth of July creek,
where Burchoy. Simons and Rudolph j
located two years ago and have done i
considerable work. J heir property j
lies farther down the slope but cjn-j
tains similar ore.
The latest discovery brings the line
of location with few gaps to within two
miles of the ground located by Wil
liam Redman several weeks ago, which
started the stampede which has been
in progress ever since. All through
this belt the ore is of the same gener
al character and the mineralized zone
is often several hundred feet in width.
In this belt veins of varying width
are found, alternating with country
rock.
“Idaho Bill’’ Lietzke had two as
says made of the ore be picked up near
the surface of bis locations near Cape
Resurrection and got returns of •> and
:> per cent copper.
