NEWS OF RICH ~~ PLACER GOLD Revelstoke, July 12 to be repeated in the district the history Is there Big Bend of the sixties, horseback, bound for the French Creek placer diggings, whilst many placer claims have been staked out and are still being staked, The cause of the stampede is the news of a rich strike of placer gold in French along an old channel, discovered by three Creek, prospectors, who for over a year have been quietly prospecting this channel. The pay is stated to be big, and the probability is that French Creek will yield millions in yellow metal. Becween the years 1860 and 186% the old workings on French Creek vielded in the neighbor- hood of $3,000,000 to the hun- dreds of miners and prospectors who worred its rich gravels to bed rock. At that time a typieal boom mining town was estab- lished, with a population of from three to four thousand people, with its usual ac in the shape of saloons, dance halls and essories billiard rooms, and today the curious hunter can still see the remains of this onee famous its dismantled shacks. miners placer camp with billiard tables and For prospectors for an years past and have been looking under channel on French Creek, which was known to exist from the very nature of the ground, This has been found within the past past year, and believed to be rich richer than the workings along the present creek, from which so many millions extracted in the sixties. For a number of years the well mining man, Mr. A. Bradley, has been constantly at work on French Creek, develop- ing and prospecting at an enorm- to himself and his associates. His belief in French Creek undiminished, his faith is shown this year in the faet that he has purchased a steam placer drill, which he is putting on the ground on French Creek for the purpose of more easily and expe- ditiously prospecting his claims, believed to be richer in yellow metal than any placer mines in British Columbia, When it is remembered than owing to the of a railway, Mr. Brad- ley’s boilers, engines, ‘drills, ete., had to be taken apart and packed into the mine, over 40 of a trail on pack horses, it will be understood that his knowledge of the camp must fully warrant such an undertaking.
