Lower Colorado river bring the news
that Joe Bush and Sheriff Tyler and
posse of Grand county have abandoned
the search for certain members of the
Robbers RoOst gang. who have been in
there driving off horses for the past year.
1t is stated that the posse headed by
Bush was after Jack Moore in particular

atinS in southeastern Utah. but those
who ought to know say he is not in the

throw them Oft the scent.
People here in Price who profess TO
know all about Moore. the alleged leader
of the BOOSTERS, say the man is dead and
that he was buried by his wife at or near
Bags, Wyo., some time ago. The wife
went 70 the funeral and il the man in

Records Are Quoted.

1t is held that the records of this
grand domain will show that more
money was paid out for death claims
than the lodge received. Friends Of the
classified system say that this would
be impossible if their theory is put
into practice, for by the terms of it
every member would have to pay a
certain amount every month whether
there were any deaths or not. These
payments are graded according to age
and it is thought more young men will
join when they are offered the same
inducements as are held out i'll other
similar societies.
After the question has been settled
on Wednesday, the Workmen propose

LOOKING TO RED MOUNTAIN
Gold Studded Rock Obtained In Gold
Basin Ledge.

Cold Studded Rock Obtained In Gold
Basin Ledge.
Seattle, August ~ Good tidings OF
the rapid advance of mining operations
in the Mount Baker gold fields were
taken to Whatcom by II. G. Anderson,
who arrived from Red Mountain, via
Chilliwack and Vancouver, B. @. Mr..
Anderson was one of the discoverers OF
the Anderson-schrimsher gold ledge on
Red mountain. In the Blade he says
the prospects OF the leading ledges in
that district are most encouraging, and
owners are pushing development work
rapidly. Work ON the Post-Lambert
lodges has been suspended for few
days, awaiting the arrival of engines
and fans with which to drive away the
smoke which arises from constant blast
ing in the tunnel. All miners who
have visited the property say that it is
very rich.
The Gold Basin ledge on Red noun
tain, In which Charles ID. Lane, OF San
Francisco, and J.. o. Carlisle are inter-
ested, is said to be veritable bonanza
to the owners. Mr.. Anderson met Mr..
Carlisle at Chilliwack and that gentle
man told him that assays made from
ore taken from the Gold Basin ledge
run as high as $50, 900 per ton. The
gold can be seen with the naked eve
and stands out in beads on the quartz.
1t is similar to the quartz found in the
Lone Jack ledge, owned by English &
Son.
1t appears that the location OF the
international boundary line is in ques-
tion, and fears are entertained that
Red mountain and other mountains in
that vicinity may possibly be in Brit
ish Columbia. According to field notes
of Provincial Surveyor Dean. the line
is supposed to cross at Box canyon at
the confluence of East and West SILICA
creeks. Owners OF claims at Red
mountain have taken out mining
licenses in British Columbia and are
also making filings at New Westmin-
ster in order to hold their claims in
case they find that their claims lie in
British Columbia.
The Red Mountain Gold Mining
Company has large force of men at
work driving q tunnel in to tap its
ledges. Cabins are being built for
winter quarters.
