A Dredging or Hydraulicing
Proposition, Yankee Creek
ft '
I
I ara the principal owner of a block of ground
on Yankee cr»ek, about seven tcnes long, extend
rag 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 frefliv. No rock bigger than one’s fist.
The width of the pay. fori a distance of about
three miles, ^is from 100 to 200 feeu Crosscut!c2
work indicates that the ground will go from 15
eeats to ?l per square foot of bedrock. My belief
is that the pay will average CO coots 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 Ready 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
sluiceheads of waier, with a pressure or fall of 120
feet, being 1600 feet to the work from the ditch.
After doing away with the muck, there will be
from four to sis feet of dirt to icandte. The ^*y j
: runs mostly in the bedrock of porphyry and slate. :
The ground Is virgio, only about $11,000 having
been taken oul by windlass in prospecting.
Prospecting' work during the present winter hue
resulted in finding vahtes that rue up so 11 per
square foot of bedrock. ,>
The Flume Dredge Company has a dredge afeo^e
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 oosnecte with
the Government road.
I am also the agent for owners of ground other ;
than that neld bv myself.
The ground can be worked either with dredge,
.irig-lice scraper, or'by hydraulieicg.
.. will either sell the ground or give a leats o»
it. If the prospect is satisfactory to the buyer, a
cash payment will fee expected. A rood bargain
will be given to the right party.
For further information, term*, tte.. *tli ox
g ouncl, or write or telegraph me.
