Atlanta and Rocky Bar.

Governor Steunenberg reports very
interesting trip to Atlanta. He be-
lieves that district is destined to be-
come a very productive section. In
talking about the showing made he
SAID he never before saw such extern
sive mineral deposits. The main At
lanta lode is from 40 to 60 feet in
width. While it is not ali ore, the ore
bodies that it carries are of great size.
That lode, he says, produced $780,
600 in the early days. Yet, 1t had
never been developed to a greater
depth than 500 feet. The lode was
originally worked for silver, bodies OF
high grade silver ore being found near
the surface. The mills were put up
for the reduction of silver ores and the
large bodies of lower grade gold ores
were left standing in the upper works.
There is very little going on in the
mines there now but they are attract
ing great deal of attention and it is
the governors belief that active opera
tons will soon be witnessed in the
district.
At Rocky Bar there is much more
activity in the mines. The Sawtooth
Gold Mining company, oil which e. G.
Brockman is manager, is working rs

claims for 25 years. He had a placer

means to enable him to continue tne
development of the lode property. The
company that has secured the group is
running ores through an old 10 stamp
mill, but it intends to erect new
plant about "A mile down the creek.
