CASA SECTION SCENE OF
CONSIDERABLE SUMMER
MINING ACTIVITIES
The following notes from the Casa
depaga section disclose considerable
activity in that locality during ihe
open season and indicate a considera
ble increased over the past few years.
On the properties of the Moody
Mining Syndicate on Canyon Creek,
Earl Glistenberger and associates
were engaged in hydraulic mining.
They were able to begin operations
early In the season and worked out a
number of large cuts, two giants be
ing utilized. Work continued to
close of the season.
Harvey Grant carried on hydraulic
operations on upper Sunshine Creek
during the entire season. Shortage
of water at times interfered, but on
the whole the season was a very
favorable one. He expects to re
main there during the winter, and
will endeavor to show the existence
of an old pay channel in the hill be
tween Sunshine and Goose Creeks.
Sam Gaylord and partners opened
up new works on benches on the
right limit of Casadepaga River
above Rowe Creek, but owing to
inadequacy of water supply their op
orations wore closed down early in
Prospecting work was done on
properties on the upper Casa by Win.
Withier and associates.
1 On (loose, Dixon. Spruce, and othe*
tributaries, property holders were
I merely representing their claims and
'doing prospecting and preparatory
work for future operations.
Owing to had trails and the genera!
increase in prices prevailing during
the past few years, the problem of
freighting into the Casa has been a
serious one. Encouragement for
improved conditions in the near fu
ture were offered, however, by re
sumption of work on the Hubv Hill
by the Road Commission. All the
material on hand for corduroyiM
was laid, the result being a consid
erable extension of the completed
road. Could a mile and a half mon
corduroy been laid it would greatly
facilitate freighting into the Casa
valley and stimulate mining activity
