O" *:
I am the principal owner of a block of "ground
on Yankee creek, about seven nines long,‘"extecd
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 and cross-cut.
The average depth of the ground is from seven
to twenty feet. The top is all black muck, that can
be moved freely. 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. Crosscut ing
work indicate' that the ground will go from 1.1
cents to $1 per square foot of bedrock. My belief
is that the pay will average fiO ceuts 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 the water right. I also have a water
right on Beady Bullion creek, from which water
can be brought to Yankee creek with a ditch less
' than a mile long (4.000 feet), '.vhieh will give four
sluiceheads of water, with a pressure or fall of 120
feel, beiDg 1000 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 jnvy
runs mostly in the bedrock of porphyrv and slate.
The ground is virgin, only sib ms -b 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
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. 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 hydraulioing.
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., call on
ground, or write or telegraph me.
