A Dredging or Hydraulicing
Proposition. Yankee Creek
71 am the principal owner 'ofa block of ground
on Yankee creek, about seven nones long, extend
ing; from No. 1 Below^Discovery^down to the mouth
of the creek.
Pav has beenflocate*: all along for & distance'of
about three miles from the upper end. and pretty
well prospected and cross-cut.
The aventpe.'aepih of the ground is from seven
to twentylfeet. Tbe top is all black muck, that caD
be moved freelv. No rock bigger than one’s Bat.
The width of tbe pay. for1 a distance of about
three mites. from Ilk) to 200 feet. Crosscutfng
work indicates! that the ground will go from 15
cents to $1 per square foot of bedrock. My belief
is that the pay will average 50 cents per fbot.
I have a ditch oo the ground', three miles long,
y together with water rights. The ground is prettv
well cleared.. There is also a drain, three miles
long, with the water right. I also have a water
right on Ready Bullion creek, from which water
can be brought to Yankee creek with a ditch leaa
than a mile long (4.900 feel), which will give four
aluicebeads^of water, I with a pressure or fall of 120
feet, beiog 1600 feet to the work from the ditch.
After doing away with the muck, there will be
from four to Bis feet of dirt to handle. Tbe pay
runs mostly in the bedrock of porphyry and slate.
The ground is virgin, only about 811.000 having
beet, taken out by windlass in prospecting.
Prospecting work during the present winter has
resulted in finding values that run up to 11 per
square foot of bedrock.
The Flume Dredge Company has a dredge above
this ground, which has been in operation for the
last three seasons.
The Government road crosses Yankee creek. 1
also have a road down the creek that connects with
the Government road.
I am also the agent for owners of ground other
than that held bv myself.
The ground can be worked either with dredge,
drag-hoe scraper, or by hydraulicing. ;
I will either sell the ground or give a lease oc
it. It the prospect is satisfactory to the buyer, a
east, payment will be expected. A pood bargain
will be given to the right party.
For .further information, terns, etc., «aU •»
