Martin and several others have located sixteen claims n a massive porphyrlzed quarts dyke which measures 3000 feet in length and Is impregnated im-pregnated with particles of gold. A ledge 2S0 feet In width accompanies the porphyry dyke, and It also is highly auriferous. Rough pan assays made of the ledge show the poorest specimens to assay $5 in free gold.

Old prospectors declare the discovery dis-covery surpasses anything within their knowledge, and that a million dollars' worth of ore Is In plain sight. The snow In the district Is of a depth from six to fourteen' feet, but despite this fact a stampede on snowshoes to the scene of the new find Is on." |
