Most of it is very deep to bedrock, and its true value has never been demonstrated. mp Many years ago the ground was under location and a long tunnel was run, but the new locators have discovered that the tunnel was under the ledge and that the vein had never been touched by it. In some places this tunnel was less than twenty feet from the vein. The ledge is large and the ore is immensely rich in free gold. Dave Coughanour made a big clean- up from the Iowa mill last Sunday. It bad been running less than two weeks, yet is understood the yield was over Mr. Coughanour says that the $5000. will turn out is a which mill, an average of over $10,000 per month.
