A Dredging or Hydraulicing
Proposition, Yankee Greek
I am the principal owner of a block of “ground
on Yankee creek, about, seven roues long.ljextend
ing from No. 1 Below Discovery down'to thejmouth
®fl»he creek.
Pay has been located all along for a distance’of
about three miles froro|[the upper end, and pretty
well prospected and^cross-cut.
The average depth of the ground !is fromlseven
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. Orosscuting
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
:oi>gr with the water right. I’ also have a water
right en Keady Bullion creek, from which water
ean be brought to Yankee creek 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 1WK) 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 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
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. 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 scraper, or by hydraulicing.
I will either sell the ground or give a lease on
it. If the prospect is satisfectorv 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 c*
ground, or write or telegraph me.
ED NOLLETTE,
Tokotna, Alaska.
