Show RICH COLD FLOAT. Quantities of it Found In Three Mile Creek Canyon. A few years ago there was considerable con-siderable excitement caused by several sev-eral rich finds of ore in Three Mile Creek canyon, about four miles south of Brigham. Handsome specimens of gold float were found. They assayed all the way from $2,700 down. Some half a dozen prospectors went into that canyon and camped for four months. They found any amount, of rich float and several pockets containing fine mineral, but were bailled in their search for the main bodies of ore. They were satisfied that large bodies were burieu in mat locality, but their efforts to find them were fruitless. Since their departure from that place ,it has not been thoroughly prospected. Some one will doubtless make a strike in that canyon some day which will start a regular Creede craze It is supposed that the main bodies of mineral, which threw off all this gold float, lie deep down below the shallow pockets which those miners simply scooped out and then I abandoned. |
