THE RICHEST YET. No Need Now of Going to Far Alaalra

In Search of the Free loo* X«Ul-Whateoa County, Wash., Said by Returned Froepec tors to Contain an Unlimited Amount or Auriferous Quarts. Skattlk, Wash., Sept. 27.—The first authentic news couceruing Washington’s new ElDorado,near Mount linker, and how to get there is brought to Seattle by E. W. Saportas, president of the information aud registry, who, with Frank Cry do and Gus Wagner, experienced miners of Dawson City, went to the scene of the latest excitement last Saturday. According to Mr. Saportas, the route is passable and not very difficult until within five miles of the find. The last five miles, however, present obstacles that would forever discourage any one not au experienced prospector and mountaineer. “There is in Mount Baker and its surroundings heights enough gold,” says Mr. Saportas, to keep prospectors busy for the next ten years. In samples of ore that were brought back by the informant, Mr. Bogardus, the assayer, by a cursory examination declared that free gold existed in exceedingly good quantities. ‘T met rnaiiy meu,” continued Mr. Saportas who came from Mount Tornohoy (Tomboy) aud they all reiterated the .stories couceruing the great strike of $10,000 to the ton in Bear mountain in Tomohoy (Tomboy), and several others have found ore equal to the discovery iu Bear mountain.*” A special correspondent of the Even* tug Tones scads wurd from Summas as follows: “The gold discoveries iu the mountains of Whatcom couuty are beyoud auv doubt the richest iu the auuals of thePacific coast or even in Alaska.” So say the most experienced prospectors whom 1 have just accompanied to the sceue of the recent “finds.” The recent fiud is iu Bald mountain, situated iu the northeast portion of Whatcom county, uortheast of Mouut Baker. The mineral range runs uorthwest aud southeast, and tonlay is located for SO miles. There is no telling how much further it extends. “The vein iu the five claims, Loue Jack, Bcuuie. Sidney, Lulu aud Whist, varies from three to five feet iu thickness. it runs under a layer of porphyry ledge iu a serpentine manner, and auriferous shale appears in the ledge. It is free milling quartz of sugar aud rose color carrying copper aud silver.' The vein cau be traced half a mile. The cropping is under solid porphyry. The gold is known as “wire gold,” and cau be seen with the naked eye and picked out with the fingers. That great quantities of it exist there is no doubt. The formation of the range iu which the find is located does not look to be very rich in minerals, if there is any placer miuiug it has not as yet beeu demonstrated to be a paying proposition. i
