vestigation it was "found that Anderson

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 Jown'to the,mouth
ofvthe creek.
Pay has been located all aioDg for a distance'of
about three miles fi om^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. Crosscuting I
work indicates that the ground will go from 15 j
cents to $1 per square foot of bedrock. Nly belief
is that the pay will average 60 cents per foot.
I have a ditch on the ground, three miles long, !
together with water rights. The ground is prettv i
well cleared. There is also a drain, three miles j
long, with the water right. I also have a water j
right on Ready Bullion creek, from which water
can be brought to Yankee creek wijh a ditch less
than a mile long (4.!)00 feet), which will give four
sluiceheads of water.Iwith a pressure or fall of 120
feet, being 1100 feet to the work from the ditch.
After doing away with the muck, there will be
from four to si., feet of dirt to handle. The p-ay
runs mostly in the bedrock of porphyry and slate.
The ground ;g virgin, only about $11,000 having
beon taken out by windlass in prospecting.
Prospecting work during the present winter has
resulted in finding values that rue up to $1 per
square foot cf bedrock.
The Flume Dredge Company has a dredge above
this ground, which has been in operation for the
last three seasons.
The Govern men c road crosses Yanttee 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 bo worked either with dredge,
drag-lioe scraper, or by hydraulicing.
1 will either sell the ground or give a iease oa
it. If the prospect is satisfactory to the buyer, s
cash payment will be expected. A good bargain
will be given to the right party.
t or further information, terms, etc., oa.ll out
ground, or write or telegraph me.
