Canal News, concerning the Rufus j
mining property:
Acordrng to word received from
an authoritative source in the south,
Gudtav SeMffert has made the pay
ment recently faWng due under the
terms of his bond, on the Rufus |
group, and has also arranged for i
ample finances to carry out the ,nec-1
essary development work. The ad-!
vifcea also state that Mr. Seiffert
wdll arrive in Steurfart early In the
spring wfftji & complete outfit and
proceed at once to operate the pro
perty.
It will be remembered that he
bonded thta property last August
from B. O. Erickson, WHlfSam For

ing to terms agreed upon at that
time, was to commence work this
The .property consisting of seven
olalins, is situated 18 miles from
Stcfwartt. on the north side of the
Bear River, has a large number of
very promising showing and until
taken over by Mr. Soiffent was al
ways rooked upon as a low grade
proposition; but sampling after the
deal was closed, proved conclusively
thajt there are several promising
outcrops of high grade ore; some
sampflps of which ran as high an 444
ounces In silver, and vrS-ta the Mad
and copper content a total value f
The claims extend from the bot
tom of the Befcr River valley to an
elevation of 5000 feet, affording on
the lower levels an abundance of
timber for camp and mining pur
poses. There is a>lso avaltahle a
large supply of waiter powdf, so sit
uated an to be easily made use of.
The site of the tunnel to be drhren
is at an elevation of 2400 feet, and
in close proximity to a good damp
site. About two and one halt mMen
of trail will, however, have to be
constructed .tothils point, before a*t
nail camp construction and other de
velopment can be undertaken.
