A Dredging or Hydraulicing
Proposition, Yankee Creek
I am the principal owner of a block of ground
on Yankee creek, about seven nines long, extend
ing' from No. 1 Below Discovery down to the mouth
of the creek.
Pay has been located all along for a distance of
about three miles from the upper end, and pretty
well prospected ami cross-cut.
The average depth 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 of 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 SI per square foot of bedrock. My belief
is that the pay will average fiO cents per foot
1 have a ditch on the ground, three miles long,
together with water rights. The ground is pretty
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 less
than a mile long (4.1)00 feet), which will give lt>«r
sluicebeads of water, with a pressure or fall ef ItO
feet, being 1600 feet to the work froM the ditch. 1
After doing away with the ataeki there trill be
from four to six feet of dirt to handle. The pay
rune mostly in the bedrock of porphyry and slate.
The ground is virgin, only about $11,000 having
been taken out by windlass in prospecting.
Prospecting work during the present winter has
resulted in finding values that run up to $1 per
aquare 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. T
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 scraper, or by hydraulieing.
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. A good bargain
will be given to the right party.
For further information, terms, etc., tail cm
ground, or write or telegraph me.
t'F,D NOLLETTE,
Tokotna, Alaska.
