Charles P. II. Bielenberg returned
from Butte Thursday and informs us
that he has succeeded in getting an eigh-
teen months lease on the property of the
Potosi Mining company, which is COM
prised of the Moondyne, Quartette and
Potosi claims. He also has an option on
$4,000 shares Of the stock of the company.
The property is situated at the head of
Gold creek, about 2115s miles from the
Royal. He says no work has been done
on the property for several years, but he
believes the precious metal is there and
is going to dig for it. He has shipped
his supplies and will leave today for his
field of operation. He expects to have
rough time in getting to the end Of his
journey on account of deep snow. First
he will travel by wagon to Pioneer, then
by sled for about six miles, when he will
finish his journey on snowshoes, dis
tance of about three miles. Charlie says
if the Potosi ''pans OUT all right he will
build q road into the Royal district him
self.
