DESCRIPTION OF
ROSEBUD CAMP
r. w. Sloan Gives a Breezy and
Coherent Account of New
Bonanza District.
ORES PLENTIFUL AND RICH
SALT LAKE AND NEVADA MEN
GET GOOD THINGS.

r. W. Sloan. who went into the new
Rosebud district a little more than
week ago, has returned enthusiastic in
the belief that the camp is going to
turn out big. He gives most coherent
and interesting account of his impress
sions and declares that, from all external
Indications Rosebud is a peach"
While there was several inches of snow
on the ground and the weather was cold
Mr.. Sloan found the boys at camp pre-
pared to make an inspection of the dis
trict a comparatively easy matter. and
he returns satisfied that in the PROPOSE
tiOnS with which he has become ldentl-
fled a fortune awaits him. This is the
way he talks about the new diSgings:
THE district comprises an area or
about ten miles square. running in every
direction from the Golden Anchor shaft
an equal distance of about i've miles
This. however, is not the limit of the
mineraliZed area, for every day, at great
er distances than above stated new loca-
lions are being made as a result OF as
says from surface groupings that would
seem 10 indicate that Rosebud Is the
womb from which all the other Nevada
gold and silver districts came forth OF
course much may be end doubtless is
exagSeration, but the showing is marvel
Gus and it would seem impossible that
such unheard of superficial evidences
should not indicate untold wealth and
permanence. Naturally, in a camp but
a few weeks old but little work has
been done. Pot holes and trenches there
are in every direction. The very tale

half feet.
Golden Anchors Showing.
The deepest workings are on the Golden
Anchor, now the property of the Rose
bud-Nevada Mining company, the first
TO be incorporated in the district, which
has a shaft about twenty feet deep. Here
three ASSAYS showed S5i, Sl00-D and Sl6i
in gold, while it is impossible to pick up
q stone anywhere on the ground that
will not assay. For that matter, the
same may be said of every particle of
rock OF dirt on ground running from the
Rattlesnake. on through the Golden An
Choir, Dreamland, Rye Patch. Brown Pal
ace, Gray Cat and Powhatan groups in
the order named, and covering a cir
cuitous distance of close on two miles.
Ore Being Guarded.
SO far as extraordinary shOwings are
concerned. nothing in Nevada has ever
equaIed them. From personal Observa-
tiCn and with barely any work done,
am satisfied that the owners OF the
Dreamland could. If they wished ship
within thirty days one carload Of ore
that would bring the lucky posseSSorS
not less than $50 900.

Dreamland on the southwest. a ruby sill

I've seen it, and richer silver ore was
never unearthed- The ore Is being left
in place on this and the Dreamland and
is being guarded. subject TO the exercise
of options that have been given.
Gold and Silver Boils Out.
Following on down and adjoining the
Brown Palace, is the Powhatan group,
owned by the RoolIlidge boys. George
Wilson and Phil McGregor, all of Salt
Lake On this group, also, most eX-
-traordinary showing has been made. Ore
from this group is so rich, both in gold
and silver that it needs only to be put
tire surface blistered with glObules of
gold and silver, or sheened over with a
silver coating, showing gold tintin9s
throughout.
Camp Is Filling Up.
"There are about 80 men in the dis
trict. The town of Rosebud is plated
and the demand for lots is remarkable,
but as the county commissioners have
not vet acted on the petition, OF course
nothing can be done. The townsite is
owned by the ROoklidges, Wilson & Nc
GregOr, of the Powhatan and Dream
land groups. On my way out today | met
a saloon and restaurant going in. There
are thirty OF forty huts in the district
