Clinton DuMire, who got back
from the (fieri side last Wednesday,
reports that Osliti & Butler, laymen
on tl.e Eagle Mining Co.'s ground,
were drifting recently and suddenly ,
realized that the bedrock was ab

eight feet without finding it, and
had concluded that possibly they'
had been following a false bedrock.
As they sink they take out pay
running as high as 25 cents to the
pan, and it is interesting to specu
late on what will be found lower
down. _____

EXTENSIVE PAY
ON SEATTLE BAR
Claim Proves to be Good at
Easterly End.
C. I. Jordan came in Sunday
from Seattle bar to remain for a
lew days. He confirmed the report
that excellent pay has been found
in a hitherto unprospected portion
of Jordan & Johnson’s Seattle bar
property.
Mr. Jordan recently sank a hole
on the eastern part of the claim,
which was considered by some the
most unpromising portion of the
ground, and cleaned up from 40
pans of dirt $44.80. The pannings
ranged from top of pay to a foot
and a half in bedrock, with the
bottom of pay not yet reached. It
is estimated that the dirt will aver
age $1 to the pan for a depth of two
feet.
This is a continuation of the pay
streak worked on the western part
of the claim last summer, but is
nearly three times as wide as that
previously uncovered. Although
about 250 feet of ground at each
end of the claim remains untested,
it is now practically certain that
the pay extend* the entire length.
