AAe Sneteubrand Group of Gold
 Mines-Thrse Against Three
 Kings.
 Ihis groupi is whole hill capped with ore. The properties cover the hill top, and on every part of the hill demonstrs- tons of paying ore in large quantities have been made. There are several we'll defined veins besides the ore that broke over in times of erosion of the hill in the ages agone.
 The properties have been pretty thoroughly prospeoted. Considerable ore was shipped and the best leads were followed to obtain shipping ore, so that to some extent the original capping of the hill is gone. But there Is the ore yet there everywhere.
 'BY THE GREAT HoRNsPooN.' MT. Sheitenbrand had hornspoon ! along, and surface water vas near. We washed out spoonful of gran nulated ore; a!so handful of the surface soil of the | hlll. Both showed free gold in gratify | ing qualities.
 development below ground was done on ledge No. ?. Here total depth from the original surface of 8 feet was | oDtalned. The ore showed the honey comb at the surfBce indicating sulphur ! eis with depths. The sulphurets came | early Tn development. The ore may be said to be concentrating throughout. THE NO. LEDGE GOOD ONE.
 The developments at this poirt do not by any means comprise the shaft alone. 1t Is rather a small quarry, with the shaft down IS one corner. From this place was taken 260 tons of ore that mill ed S26 ton in 1890, at the Arivace mill This was the first-class ore. The second class ore made pile of 40 tons, still there, that runs SIP to Sl5 tor. Across feet of the ore at one time the cut showed S70 ore. No such claims are made for the property as whole, how ever.
 On the hilltop, a hundfeI yards away from where the veins were followed farthest down, are several piles of ore, ,ald out for milling. One pile of about 70 tons will go SIP in gold and 6 ounces of silver. Another of 40 tons battery sample, showed S14 ID gold and 6 ounces of silver. A third pile of 40 or 90 tops gave Sl0 in gold and ounces Tn silver.
 The trend of the leads is east and west. Beginning with No. l., to the northward, which dips only lightly, it becomes, on the southern brow of the hull very obl;que, aud even, where the lodges broke over, almost flat.
 Ledge No 1 IS granite formation, dippiog slightly to the northeast, with an average of SIP ore, running into sulphurels Ut an early depth.
 No. ledge is the same formation, dipping northeasterly at an angle of 45 degrees. It has defined ledge of 10 to 12 feet. It is developed p feet, or from the original surface, B feet.
 Ledge No. 3, runs into q mixed DOT phyry and gran.te. No shipments have been made from this lead. l. shows ter feet of ore in the face. As the ore is followed over the hilltop to the south ward It becomes more and muFe defined at the surface, to where the hilltop for 6 considerable area IS al ore.
 The developments made during ship ments, were not the most advantageous for showing up the property, but there IS plenty to be seen as 1t IS.
 Thus 1t can be readily perceived by the dip of the lodges that within a reas- oDable depth that they will come to- gether and form contact vein, between tbe granite and porphyry, for the con tact line follows ledge No. 3, and ledge No. IS in porphyrv, and 1 and ? in gran ite. This group of mines would justify the erection of at least twenty stamp mill, which would be kept running to it's full capacity for years to come on the ore bodies which these mines exhibit on the surface. Wood IS plentiful Tn the immediate vicinity to supply numb of mills for years to come, which can be delivered at cost of S2.50 per cord There is also one of the best mill sites located in connection to these mines, in a canyon at the foot of the mountain upon which those mines are situated.
 The mines comprise the Red Cloud, | Altar, Forsaken, Union Pacific and Sal vadOr. They were located in 1884, being at first the property of Messrs. Diehl and Shelterbrand. A year later they dissolved partnership and played game of freeZeUut to see who would have nrst choice of their respective properties. | DIehl held three aces and Shelterbrapd | three kings. Diehl took the Yellowstone | group, then a good chloriding proposi- | tiou, and Sheitenbrand the foregoing l group, now bearing his name. He de- | veloped the property and found 1t much | to his satisfaction.
 The group Is link in the chain of | properties comprising itself, the Auster- litz and the Rsgnovock claims. All are related in the nature of ores and forma- | tions.
