Mr.. +. n. Breitung, Captain and Mrs.
H. G. Rothwell, and Mr.. Levesseur
returned last evening from a trip to the
mines of Fremont county. The Lander
valley was visited and the party was de.
lighted with its beauty. Captain Roth
well is a mining expert o. great ability
and his critical perception was ever Oh
the alert during the trip. The mineral
possibilities Of the country were given
as close scrutiny as the limited time o.
the party would permit. The captain
was greatly impressed with what he saw
and would like very much TO make a
more thorough examination. AS yet
nothing but gophering has been done in
that section, said the captain today. and
with such work as has been performed
it Is impossible to tell Of the wealth
which lies beneath. Most OF the min
ing has been in chimneys. and in many
OF the properties lessees have picked the
eyes out. that is all. The Carisa is
working right along and is really the
only mine that is making a favorable
showing. 1t has a breast OF ore fully 40
feet in width and a good pay streak.
Clear across the vein the ore averages
we'll. With the stamp mill now being
operated about $12 per ton is being saw
ed on the plates, which is about one
third the value in the ore. The tailings
would pay handsomely under the cyan.
ide treatment. The ores to a depth OF
from IS to so feet may be called free

fractory.
The trip was a delightful one. all
things considered. From Rawlins a
