been regarded as barren of mineral. The
Greenhorn range was prospected many
years ago for gold and few small pla-
GERS We're found, but the lodes were not
found and for thirty years the Green
horns have been left undisturbed. Mr..
Cathcart was not prospecting. He is a
ranchman and was looking for some OF
his cattle when he noticed some peculiar
looking rock. and out of curiosity broke

days afterward he was induced 10 have II

to carry upward of $50 in gold and cop

than half L mile. made his locations and

poses to send two or three tons of ore to

of the situation. England and the United

not submit to England alone, nor to the
United States alone.4 But both working
in harmony could obtain what they need,
