Company Pormsd The Associated Placer syndicate, a 'corporation bat recently organised at Price, ia making preparation! to com mence mining operation! in the Henry Mountain district in Garfield county. Thia corporation ia the outgrowth of a derwkieh agreement eonaiderable preliminary work waa accomplished. The new company haa taken over all of the intereata involved in the original truat, aa well aa additional acreage. Holding! of the company are located on Crescent Creek, four hundred and eighty acres being near the site of Eagle City and a hundred and twenty just below The Beef." The gravel deposits are said to be of an alluvial nature; that is, they have traveled down along the benches from the plaeo of disintegration through other ageneiea than the action of water. The depoaita are said to range from ten to forty feet in depth and carry quite uniform values in gold with areas of natural concentration on bed Friends in business are as precious as friends in social life. With the dawn of a bright New Year we feel a deep gratitude to our friends for their loyalty. May we continue to serve you in a sincere spirit of and mutual co-operat- rock and running through the depoaita. Some of these streaks and bedrock material are aaid to have shown extremely high values. The present channel of Crescent Creek, after it leaves the higher part of the country, is through a narrow gam, at places several hundred feet below the bench deposits. There are alluvial deposits along the creek bed which are of considerable extent where the creek channel widens out below "The Reef;" and these deposits are also said to earry good average values, with areas of more highly concentrated values similar to the alluvial deposits on the benches. The gold values of the Crescent Creek district have been known for a great many years, but, on account of water conditions and the nature of the country over which water must be earned, mining with hydraulics and the. ordinary ground sluicing method have not been applicable. There is scarcely any soil covering on the gravel deposits over a laige area, so that the hold-in- g of water in reaervoin and carrying it over the surface in open ditches haa not been a practical possibility. There haa been a great amount of hand sluie- - ing done, however, as well aa hand panning and dry washing, and such small scale work is said to have paid good wages to a number of oldtime prospectors who have made it a business for a long time, although not all of the values could be recovered by their crude methods. The gravels are said to show some platinum, but no actual determination has yet been made of the amount of this valuable metal contained ia the black sands. Results of exploratory work and engineering investigation are said to have been highly satisfactory, and it ia expected that this company, aa well aa several others, will be on the gfbnnd early in the spring with modern equipment that will handle the work of gold recovery on a large scale. outcome of the trouble iq the Book Mountains in 1922, when nineteen head of horses and mules were run off from the camp of Joseph L.
