A Dredging or Hydraulicing
Proposition. Yankee Creek
. . .- ---. -. «
I am the principal owner of a block'of ground
on Yankee creek, about seven tnties long, extend
ing from No. 1 Below Discovery down to tbe mouth j
of the creek. j
Pay has been located all along for a distance of j
about three miles from the upper ead. and pretty ]
well prospected and crosa-cut.
Tbe average ueptb of the ground is from seven
to twenty feet. The top is all black muck, that can
be moved freelv. No rock bigger than one’s fist.
The width el the pay. for a distance of about
three miles, ;is from 100 to 200 feet. Crosscuting
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 foot.
I have a'ditch on the ground, three miles long,
together with water rights. The ground is prettv
well cleared. There is also a drain, three miles
long, with tho water right. I also have a water
right on Ready Bullion creek, from which water
can be brought to Yankee ereek with a ditch less
than a mile long (4,900 feet), which will give four
sluiceheads of water, with a pressure or fall of 120
feet, being 1600 feet to the work from the ditch.
After doing away with the muck, there will be
from four to six feet of dirt to handle. The pay
runs raoetiy in the bedrock of porphyry and -data.
ThegrouDd is virgin, only about $11,000 havlsg
been taken out by windlass io prospecting.
Prospecting work during the present winter has
resulted in finding values that run up to $1 »«r
square foot of bedrock.
The Flume Dredge Company has a dredge above
this ground, which has been in operation for tbs
last three seasons.
The Government road crosses Yankee creek. I
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-line aeraper, or by hydraulicing.
I will either sell the ground or give a lease oa
it. If the prospect is satisfactory to the buyer, a
cash payment will be expected. A good bargain
will be given to the right party.
For further information, term*, ew , oall on
ground, or write or telegraph me.
