The ground is gold bearing from the river to the top of tbe mountain, a tiistance of a mile and a half. The gold is all local, rough, and there is ao evidence of wash or boulders. A large amount of the ground is comparatively free of rocks of any Fort and those w hich are found are mountain or slide rucks. Thia gives a wonderful advantage over the ordinary placer mine where the disposition of the boulder« is nearly always one of the chief obstruction« to rapid work. Cora Murphy, Defendant.

Several years ago, there wa« a move ment to bring tbe water» of Evans creek to this ground by a ditch of 25 mile« in length, but before the plans were fully consummated, tbe water right was appropriated by other parties. The High Line ditch, now under considera tion if extended here, would cover by far the larger portion of thia ground and furnish an abundance of waler for this property »• well a« for a large area of of ground of a similar nature, lying along tbo slopes ot tlie hills between here and Gold Hill. Another method of procur ng water would be by a pumping plant ol suttiiient capacity, by which water in any quantity might be elevated from the river. With a good water supply, there is ground enough here to keep a large and elaborate hydraulic plant in operation for 1(K) years. Abraham's hydraulic mine on Illoody Kun Is very similar to Corliss’ in all its conditions, though operated on a ionie- what smaller scale, the operation« here also being limited on account of the water supply. Several rich quarts ledges have been located in this district and are now under development. A good many different men have spent a good deal of time in hunting a • reinendously large and rich quarts ledge that ia supposed to have ‘ fed’’ thia ground, but none have yet been found that would answer the description, though several excellent ledge« Lave been discovered.
