Matters on the Creeks
As reported by S. E Heeter on his return front over the divide Thursday.
RICH EUREKA CLAIM SOLD.
Frank Stevens lias sold No. 4
below. Eureka, and also the adjoin
ing 150-foot fraction, to E. J. Berg
strom. Mr. Bergstrom lias started
to open up the claim by ground
siuiciug it off. He has found as
high as $2 to the pan. His partner
is expected from Seattle shortly.
TO WORK SHIRLEY BAR.
W. J. Oslin, Sam Houkley, Mike
Laboski and O. P. Gossj have takeu
u lay 011 Shirley bar and are doing
big work. If the water holds out
they will take out not less than
$15,000 this fall.
MATTERS ON GLEN.
Walter Buckley, who sustained a
broken leg early in the season, is
getting around again and hopes to
discard his crutches pretty soon.
Dad Foster is at his old post with
his hands in the dough.
Frank Stevens finished up a long
cut July 22 and has commenced an
other. He has completed his third
cut this season—one 100 feet long
and 40 feet wide, one 108 feet long
aud 30 feet wide, and one 300 feet
long and forty feet wide. The large
amount of rain has made it possible
to do five or six times as much work
as has ever been done before in one
season.
As soon as Mr. Stevens has fin
ished on No. i he w ill build a large
automatic dam on the upper end of
No. 4. Then he will extend the
Gill ditch from Rhode island creek
to Seattle creek.
Clarence Still—better known on
Glen as “Sixty”—has ope led up
the first small cut ou the upper end
of No. 4. He has been working all
aloue, and the first day he shoveled
in he washed up $165. This proves
beyond a doubt that more than half
the gold still remains in the ground.
We visited M. S. Gill on the
Eagle Mining Company property,
and by his permission we panned
three pans from different parts of
the rut. We did not weigh them
separately, but altogether there was
£31.60 in the three pans- an aver
age of £10.30 to the pan. The
largest pan had about £14. Mr.
Drake a few days ago in two hours
and a half shoveled in £000. He
also cleaned up £3.30° ou a piece
of ground about 10 by 33 feet The
little hydraulic plant works to per
lection The lift doe* its work ant
isfactordy, but it will not be needed
much longer, as the tailings can be
dumped into an ukl cut. and by do
ing away with the lift it will give
nearly two sluiceheads M water to
shovel is on.
Mike Sullivan, the son of an
Irish lord, is slinging the big shovel
fuls of mud in fixing up the dam
for Mr. Gill. Mike proposes a new
road to be cut from Glen to Thanks
giviug, the road to keep down on
the fiat so as to cut off the big
Rhode Island hill, which will con
siderably reduce the freight rates if
carried through
EUREKA CREEK.
On discovery a dozen pans tested
yielded from 4 to 55 cents. There
is a big body of pay. Johnson &
Spicer, on this claim, are using
plows and scrapers, and a double
shift is employed scraping dirt into
the boxes. There are six scraper
dumps on a long line of boxes, and
at one of these dumps $400 was
cleaned up from two box lengths.
At that rate there was over 52,000
in the boxes. It will take all the
fall to scrape in all the dirt now
ready.
On Aug. 1 Smith and Spicer were
to discontinue the Eureka road
house.
WHAT CHEER BAR.
At Wliat Cheer bar on July 24 a
cleanup of $1,008 was had off about
a quarter of the boxes. They used
a team scraping in for five days.
From the number of places dirt had
been put into the boxes the whole
line was expected to yield about an
equal average. The scraper team
has been laid off, no more ground
suitable for scraping in being now
available. The company is open- j
ing two more long cuts that it ex- I
pects to get shoveled in before hard 1
frost. Nine men are hired, making
fourteen altogether.
SKOOKUM.
Hebb & Gaetz, on Skookum, have
hired three men with the under
standing that they are to be kept
on all next winter. A great deal
of prospecting has l»een done by!
Hebb & Gaetz, and from the prep
aration for extensive work now go
ing on it is believed that thev have
satisfied themselves of the value of
tbeir ground.
