A Dredging or Hydraulicing
Proposition, Yankee Creek
I am the principal owner of a block* of ground
on Yankee creek, about, seven antes long, extend
ing from No. 1 Below Discovery^down'to the mouth
of the creek.
Pay has been located all along fop a distance of
about three miles from the upper end. and pretty
well prospected and cross-out.
The average tiepin 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 £30.
The width of the pay. fori a distaoce of about
three miles, 'is from 100 to 200 feet; Cross.uting
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 SOoents per foot,
I 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 Beady Bullion creek, from which water
can be brought to Yankee creek with a ditch less
than a mile long (4,900 feet), which will give four
sluioeheads of water, with a pressure or fall of 120
feet, being 1000 feet to the work from the ditch.
After doing away with the muck, there will be
from four to su reef, of dirt t<s saudle. The pay
runs inoetly in the bedrock of porphyry and slate.
The ground ;# virgin, only about ill,CO® haying
* been taken out by windlass n prospecting.
Prospecting work during the present winter has
resulted in Soding valuas -that run up to $1 per
square foot of bedrock.
