| located In the Star mining district 10
| miles southwesterly from Milford. Back
| In the 7O's the property was owned

ATLAS OF STAR DISTRICT.
The Atlas group Is also situated in the
Star mining district. about a half mile
from the Mammoth; II adjoins the
Monitor and the two groups consist of
IA claims. The Atlas has the deepest
workings In Beaver county outside of
the Horn Silver mine at Frisco. Ore
was followed In an incline shaft for a
distance Of 900 feet and besides being
rich in lead and silver, gold values
TO the amount OF 500 to the ton were OBJ
tanned. The Atlas as well as the Mont
tor can be relied upon TO furnish high
grade ores, About 200 tons await
shipment at the latter.
THE OLD CREEDMORE.
The Nellie group lies almost adjoin-
ign the Atlas and Monitor on the west
1t, too, was producer in the early
days Of the camp. Ii was known then
as the Creedmore, and was located
by John Forgie Of Milford, who Is
authority for the statement that 1t has
a producing record of $l5 900. He sold
n half interest soon after location, to
Allan G.. Campbell, and the two shared
in the profits. Mr.. Forge said to a
News" representative few days ago
that the "Creedmore" was always n
pet of his that when his mining VEN
lures elsewhere did not pan out he
could always go back and work this
property and make money. Il was a

Royal company has q force Of men en-
gagged in developing this property.

early work on the property was done |
In search OF sllver-lead ores. Although |
there were splendid copper groupings In |
evidence at the time this class of ore |
was not wanted there being no way |
TO handle them then. The tunnel re-
