The latest discovery in the Grand
~Encampment is on Cow creek neal the
road TO the now famous Doane copper
mines. The ore body is quartz between
quartzite and mica schist and varies
from 20 to 40 feet in width. four feet
of the ore body on the hanging wall is
honey combed and very rich in free
gold. the balance of the ore body is a
blush quartz and averages $50 per ton
free gold.
Mr.. A. J. Dougherty brought in some
very fine ore from his properties situ-
'ated between Jordan and Beaver creeks
At this point the ore body is in porphy-
ry and the samples show a large
amount of gold visable to the naked
eye.
Mr.. Ash and associates. have several
fine properties, on which development
work is progressing rapidly. Ben
Northington, an Old-time miner and
prospector. has secured four good loca-
lions on the gold belt: he also has a
copper property that bids fair to be-
come a good producer as the ore will
already pay to ship to the Denver mar
ket.
Mr.. Tenant. who has been Operat-
ing in the Seminoe district for some
time past has an extension on the
Doane copper lead. that for the amount
of work done is showing remarkably

Modern Medicine says that Il patient

writer has. within the last 20 years,
treated many cases of gangrcnc, crush

than by any other. Its success is due to
the ascpsis secured by the constant i'm
