Oter two hundred nnd fifty mon had passed over Jordan Dridgo, some going northward north-ward nnd some to the south. Iok in w hatever direction you would men could bo teen on every bill, some staking off claims wliilo others were doing their 4 ieet of work in order to have them put on ittord.

The oro does not seem to lu limited to one unrrow bolt but nppears to be scattered oyer n field of country from eight to ten miles wide and from Ilitesman's Hunch to tlio head of Uutter-Iield. Most of tlio strikes aro made in roik of a sedimentary sediment-ary formation although quito n number are well defined mineral vtUa cutting the regular formation which is from South-east to North-west.
