j A Dredging or Hydraulicing
Proposition. Yankee Creek
I!
J
i am the principal ownerr of s. block of ground
oo Yankee creek, about seven mt.es long. ex trend
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 fromjlhe upper end, and pretty
well prospected and.ercss-cut.
The average depth of the ground lis from seven
to twenty feet. The top is all black muck, that can
be moved freely. No rock bigger than one’s list.
The width of the pay. for a distance of about
three miles, is from 109 to 200 feet. Crosscuting
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 loDg,
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 water,|with a pressure or fall of 120
feet, being 1000 feet to the work from the ditcb.i
After doing away with the muck, there will be
from four to sis feet of dirt to Handle. The
rues mostly in the bedrock of porphyry and slate.
The cabbed -s virgin, only about $11,000 having
been taken out by windlass in prospecting.
Prospecting work during the present winter has
’resulted’in Ceding values that run up to *1 per
square foot of bedrock.
Thd Flume Dredge Company bas a dredge above
this ground, which hes been in operation for the
last three seasons.
The Government road crosses 'Yankee creek, f
also have a road down the creek that connects with
the Government road.
1 I am also the agent for owners o? ground other
than that held by myself.
The ground can be worked either with dredge,
drag-line scraper, or by hydraulicing.
I will either sell the ground or give a .ease on
it. If the prospect is satisfactory to the buyer, a
cash payment will be expected. A pood bargain
will be given to the right party.
For further information, terms, «tc,, call ou
ground, or write or telegraph me.
