Paystreak Showing Up
On Timber Ck^ Win
ter's Operations.
Poorman, April 8.—The Poorman
section laagain coming lo ihe front. A
vast amount of winter work has been
done in this vicinity duriDg the past
winter, and with a new paystreak
showing pp on. Timber creek, one of
the largest creaks in the district, there
is much pfomisa o' a long-lifed camp.
The following shows some of the op
erations during the past winter:
On Flat creek, Morton, Gallagher
and Augusta hare been prospecting,
and are new getting ready for summer
workr
Charles Johnson, with two men, has
been hoisting pay all winter, some of
which h&3 gone as high as $5 and $0 to
the pan.
Eddie IvlcKelvie, Jot Matson and Joe
Ward have probablv the largest dump
fn the camp. They aro now getting
ready for summer work.
Oo Poorman creek, H. Willeby,
William C’erry and Barney Cannon are
just through hoisting out their winter
dump and, are now getting ready for
•summer work
Jack Shropsnire and Truman Man
ual, with swo men, have been hoisting
nay all win tor on the Buggy*, and have
% large dump out They expect to
work 4 crew aU summer, as they have
* large body of pay.
Done 3 0oyie is spending the winter
in the States, but will be in this com
ing summer and commence operations
again*
George Voder has just discovered a
narrow, but good, paystreak at ihe
mouth of Tenderfoot, right back of
Haarvei’s store building, which he will
be working on this summer.
On Solomon creek, Martin Weboris
snd Mickey Dugan have taken out a
large dumy, and are still hoisting what
is said to be good pay.
Below them, John Fahey and Tony
Cannon, with two men, are taking out
* dump, and stillihoisting
Then comes R. Fulkerson; with two
men. Th^y have only a small dump,
but will be*all ready- to hoist into the
boxes when the first drop of water
comes.
William Wicklund and Harry Jen
sea. at the mouth of Solomon, are all
ready to put on a crew as soon as the
wator comes.
On Timber creek, Dick Stevenson
and Omar Quinn have .been hoisting
pay all wiater. Stanley Cofiio is work
ing for them, and has helped in swell -
ling the dutap immensely.
One thousand feet below; William
Bailey and .Shorty Powers have just
completed a hole to bedrdek, which
shows a three-foot body*-of pay dirt
•averaging five cents to the pan.
One and a half {mips balow William
Ferry and Barney Cannon have very
pood pay awaiting: development.
Timber creek is a large creek, and
an Immense lot of prospecting has been
done there in the past by different par
ties without any success, but these re
cent Iind9, which aro largely due to
Jack Wolf’s persistence tn prospecting,
will put i» in the rank of the leading
producers of the .Camp, as the develop
ments to date show that there is a
large body of pay.
It i3 regrettable that our leading
merchant and postmaster, A. Haarvei,
and Mrs. Haarvei, who have so
3bly in the past looked after the needs
of the hungry travelers, have to leave
this summer. However,. two of their
children are of school age, one of them
two years past, aDd it is imperative
that they locate themselves somewhere
where the children can attend a proper
school, although the children are al
ready well advanced, duo ta the able
tuition of Mrs. Haarvei, herself a high
ly qualified instructor, who formerly
taught in the Ruby school.
