VKRY RICH QUARTZ
The extraordinary richness of the
quartz found iu this district has
'•oc i proven within the iast few day
in a most vivid manner. Joint Gil

two gold 1 ricks which weighed 1!)
ounces, and wiiitb he rocked out
fiom the rock of his lodge at
Moos? Pass. From the top of this
1' d Mr. Gilpatrirk can rock out b«
tor than $10 a day and the property
'4.- said to Le almost fabulously rich.
James R. Hayd n also brought in
some very rich rock within the last
few days from the Grant Lake pro
perty. An assay made ot this rock
. ■ v s five thousand dollars-to the
ton, ;md from a few samples weigh
ing 5 or 6 ounces, lie took out quite
a chunk of gold which he has now
in his possession. The rock is
beautiful and free gold is visible all
over it. fhey are down 12 or 15
feet now, and the led.?* is looking
exceedingly well. T. W. Mack took
out one pan which contained ?4.—

tlia first In the ciightti Innings, A.
Rapuzzi came to bat with tkrea
men 011 bases and only one out, Ra
puzzl lined one to Frost who was
pitching, who threw him out at
lirst, Sheldon snapping one to

from first. It was anybody's (ptfati
until the ninth tunings, when Wuxz

the hatting and tejje running of
Steve Sheldon, Frost, Jimmy Barry,
Charllo and Andrew Rapuzzl, and
