Rock Springs Miner.
The South Pass Mines.
Mr.. o. A. Hamilton, of Rock Springs
in a communication to the Cheyenne
Tribune, truthfully states, in the fol-
lowing words, the condition of the
Sweetwater mines and describes the
position of this gold-bearing belt:
The South Pass country is at present
attracting considerable attention in
the mining world. Just why mining
belt of such magnitude has been so
long neglected by mining men is some
thing of a mystery. 1t is admitted by
all miners who have visited the camp
this summer that the surface indica-
tons are unequaled by any gold camp
in the United States. The belt is also
very large. To be sure it has been said.
