Harrison, the d iseoverer, has a few assays which show values running as high as S0 in gold and silver. Concerning- the mineralization, he nays that he has a large amount of shipping ore on the ground in the way of "float" boulders, some of which weigh many tons. In prospecting ho has found ore along the strike of the vein for three miles. As a result of this find, considerable consid-erable excitement has prevailed and many claims have been staked out. |
