There was a regular old-fashioned
miners stampede over in Anaconda
yesterday, according to the Butte In
ter Mountain, caused by the discovery
of some rich gold rock in a gorge of
Sheep gulch. about a mile from the
Smelter City. Pat Harmon, an old
time Montana and Nevada p%rospector,
spent several days in hat locality re-
Gently and returned last Saturday with
several samples. \ Notwithstanding
piece OF rock was sent to the assay
office and he was more than surprised
when he found that il assayed about
so ounces in gold and high in silver.
He returned to the hills Sunday and
made several locations, and then told
some of his friends Of the discovery.
There vas an immediate stampede for
the new district. and the whole cOun-
try was located by shutdown yesterday.
Visitors from Anaconda today state
that the ore is similar in appearance
10 the li~ver-colored rock found in the
AlayfiOwer in Madison county, and
quite as barren-looking- The ledge
extends many miles and crops out in
various places. and it is not unlikely
