COL. MILLARD BONDS
BALD MOUNTAIN CLAIMS
WILL PLACE MEN AT WORK A T ONCE TO PU8H DEVELOP
MENT WITH VIEW OF PUTTING MILL ON PROPERTY
IF THE LEDQE8 QO DOWN
Col. H. 1'. Millard has re-bond
oil th<> Uuld Mountain group of
claims from O. Roberts and IIorb
Johnson and will immediately
place 11 mil at work to open and
develop I be property.
The property is best known lo
cally as the Oleson property and
was bonded last summer by Rob
erts and Johnson from the orig
inal discoverer.
Considerable development work
has been done on the ground and
the ledges have shown up,strong.
An open cut was made for 20
feet and a tunnel run in iO feet.
It is believed the tunnel will tap
the ledge when another 20 feet
has been driven. The tunnel will
give a depth of about 50 feet be
low the outcrop above.
Some phenomenal assays have
been received from this property.
Before closing the deal last sum
mer Messrs. Roberts and Johnson
made a careful sampling of the
ledge. Samples taken on the sur
face, where the ledge is from l i
to IK inches wide for a distance
of 1,100 feel, gave returns of
$198.1(1. A sample of on* brought,
down by a workman weighing 27
pounds, gave $0.10 when ground
up.
Mr. Hoberls conservatively
places the average value of the
ore ut $25 per ton, but is con
vinced it will be nearer $50. There
is a rich ore shoot showing on
the surface where the values are
high grade. When tin; ledge has
been tapped in the tunnel by
drifting on the ore for 75 feet, it
is believed a big body of high
grade ore will be exposed.
Hoi. Millard will push develop
ment work and if it is proven the
ledges go down and carry their
values a mill will be installed
this summer. The property lies
about live miles from Shoup bay
and is near the Cameron-Johnson
property.
