is especially interested in the Governors choice as Mining Chief. The
Nugget received the assurance from

received the appointment would be

Confirmation of the discovery
a group of Colfax men who leased
the property to a Long Beachoperating concern headed by E. H. Boley. The Longpoint channel was located near the site of the old Jupiter mine from which more than
$2,000,000 in gold is said to have
‘been taken. :
The strike made on Saturday,
ended a 10-year search for the channel in which hundreds of thousands
of dollars were invested by dozens
of operators. The Longpoint channel
made Iowa Hill, 12 miles east of
Colfax, a hustling mining -eity of
15,000 residents. The workings thinned out, although the Pupiter mine
remained a rich producer for many
Ten years ago the channel was
‘lost through earth faulting. The pre‘gent operators of the Golden Streak
‘properties found the . channel, thru.

. wealthy channel had been relocated,
