Hundreds of samples of ore have taken and assayed. These, it is claimed, show that the surface . values average about 51 gold per . } ton. Platinum and silver is also present. From pits dug to the depth of 13 feet, samples were taken each foot in depth and these wére mixed and panned. Forty pounds of this mixture yielded 10 cents in zgold—at the rate of $1 per ton. No pits have yet been sunk in bedrock and until this shall have been done the value of the accumulation at that depth cannot be predicted. — Many thousand acres of the land has already been filed on by the discoverers of the deposit whose intention it is to exploit the property by means of great gold dredges; a plan which seems to be entirely feasible since there seems to be ample water available—in spite of the fact that the deposit lies in the most arid part of the country. Plans are already matured for the installation of two relatively small recovery plants in the vicinity and it. is the expectation that both will soon be producing. It is the claim of the discoverers that this is one of the greatest placer goldfileds that ever has been found. extends been This poem is written in memory of the late Mrs. Roy McNamara, who passed away so suddenly.

Through all the happy years that’s passed Since the day when we first met, She was ever a true and loyal friena We're sorry she’s gone, but yet, We know that she is happy now And free from earthly pain; All we can do is hope and pray That we may meet again. No words of praise can comfort us Or mend our hearts that are broken; And future years, will still bring tears Whenever her name is spoken. Oh! dear, kind and loving friend We’ll never cease to think of you And love you forever more. When on that last Great iahgement Day Oh! then once more beloved friend We will all meet again. om. W. V.
