A Dredging or Hydrauiicing
Proposition, Yankee Creek
About 7 miles longs extending from No. 1 below discovery to

Pay located all along for a distance of about three miles from
upper end, and pretty -well prospected and cross-cut.
Average depth of ground is from 7 to 20 feet. Top is all black
muck,that can be scraped freely. No rock bigger than one’s fist.
Ground will go from 15 cents to $1 per square foot of bedrock.
Ditch on the ground, 3 miles long, together with water rights.
Ground i* pretty well cleared. There is also a drain, 3 miles long.
Also a water right on Ready Bullion creek, from which water can
be brought to Yankee creek with a, ditch less than a mile long
(4,900 feet), with a pressure of 120 feet, being 1600 feet to the
work from the ditch.
After doing away with muck there will be from 4 to 6 feet of
dirt to handle.
Only about $11,000 has been taken out.
Prospecting work during the past winter has resulted in finding
values that run up to $1 per ftque-e foot of bedrock.
I will either sell the ground or give a lease on it. If the prospect
is satisfactory to the buyer, a cash payment will be expected.
For further information, terms, etc., call on
