OTHER RICH DISCOVERIES.

The new prospectors last summer did
not content themselves with stalking
claims near those Of the original discover
ers. They made some very rich discover
les on the East river, a tributary OF the
Gunnison, five miles from Whopper
Mountain. These include lodes known as
the Jenny Lind, Silver Queen, Sylyanite
or Ruby, Evening Star, @. Cd, and Lake
View. The best-developed Is the Sylvan
tie. First-Class ore shipped to Chicago
from this mine is said to have assayed q
800 ounces OF silver to the ton. A half In
terest in the mine has been sold TO Messrs.
| Valentine and o. Sands, OF Chicago, for
$l00, 900, and it is..repOrted that the whole
mine is being stocked for five times that
sum. The Evening Star has also been
placed upon the market. The owners
say they are selling the stock for working
capital. All are tunnel mines. The O. o..
D, is tunnel!ed thirty feet. Interested
parties assertthatth the ore assays hundred
ounces to the ton. There is a pile OF orc
on the dumps. The Silver Queen is per-
forated by foot tunnel. 1t is located
on Copper Creek, a branch OF the East
river. Its owners say that they have
shipped ore that has milled $50 unces. It
Is a big gray copper and silver lode, andis
no: on the market. The Lake View has a
thirty foot tunnel. The ore is said TO
assay $50 ounces 10 the ton. The mine is
to be fully developed in the spring,
Among other fair prospects are the Galena,
Mansfield, Ohio, Mountain Rose, Yankee
Boy and Terror. The most OF these lodes
were found and are owned by old pros
pectors. The Mountain Rose was dis
covered and Is now being worked by two
German boys, who had not been in the
State six months. Hundreds Of claims
have been taken up in this district.
The mines named are only the cream OF
the prospecting. Good farms covered
with the finest grasses lay in the little
valleys. Very few have been pre.empted.
The country Is well timbered with spruce
pine and quaking asp. Blossom rock and
mineral are scattered over the mountains.

THE RICHEST OF ALL.
On June s, 1870, prospectors in the en-
ploy of the Iowa Smelling Company o.
Crested Buttes found seven lodes carrying
ruby silver eight miles west of the origina,
discoveries by the Yankee tender feet
The ore is called ruby silver from itspeCu
liar ruby color. Ore taken from thest

ounces to the ton. Within three month";
hundreds OF locations were made neal

congress the propriety of making provision for
the erection of suitable ireproof buildings at the

generosity and courtesy has offered for this pur-

the residue returned 10 the nations, respectively
