GOOD MINES.
Miners From La Plata Give an Excel

ties in That District-Mines Which
Run Over 500 in Gold to the Ton
Will be Heard From Hereafter.

John Moran. the w%ell-know cattle
man and ranchman on Horseshoe, who
was recently in Cheyenne. informed the
Sun-Leader that about $50 men are now
engaged in prospecting and mining at
the head of horseshoe in the Laramie
peak country. Many good gold pros
poets have been discovered. Miners
from Cripple Creek and the Black Hills
country and men from the surrounding
ranches have been coming in for the
past two months. and have gone quiet
ly to work on their discoveries.
There are now at least SO claims stalk
ed out and many of them are being in
dustriously worked. Some large as
says are being obtained. The Evening
Star, owned by David Gordon, W. W.
Lavelle and others, at a depth of 80
feet, produces ore which assays $40
per ton. The ore carries gold, silver,
tin and copper. Cripple Creek parties
are working a mine which run $3.50
in silver and from So to $40 in gold.
Messrs. Moran and McDermott have
several claims which they are develop
ing. the principal one being the Cold
en- Age" They employ several good
miners and have the most encouraging
prospects.
Antonio Skolinski, one of the settlers
Of that section, has claims that run
very high in silver, and is vigorously
carrying IN his mining work.
The discoveries there have made quite
an excitement, and with the amount
Of prospecting in progress the camp
will 500 be heard from as one Of the
best in the state.
Glendo, near the old Bob Walker
ranch. is the headquarters for supplies,
and two stores are already established
there. Among other things operating
to boom that section, a discovery Of
coal is reported a few miles below
Glendo. and several railroad prospec-
tors have been sent out to examine the
deposits. They report the prospects
very favorable. The coal is situated
near the line of the Cheyenne and
Northern road.
