Brush State Pushed.

Charles A. Rooklidge returned from 4
two weeks trip to Nevada and Sar
Francisco Sunday night In Nevada he
visited the Rosebud mining district, &c
miles north of Humboldt station, and
about % miles northeast of Seven
Troughs. At Rosebud he found condi'
tlons all right and fully up to expec.
tations. Mr.. Rooklidge, with three as
sociates, own the Rosebud townsite,
and have recently made deal with
Malcolm Mcdonald and l.. A. Park
hurst, Of the Montgomery Sboshone and
Greonwater mine. whereby they Join
with them in all their holdings in Rose
bud. with the exception of the Dream
land and Pow Haitian groups, which
had already been taken over by Frank
Keith Of the Tonopah Mines company
and associates, Messrs Mcdonald and
Parkhurst are eminent mining engineers
and successful operators.
The Brown Palace group, where the
first strike was made in the district,
has been taken over by the association
just formed and which will be incorpor-
4ted in the very near future, and the
work of development of the property
will be pushed with all possible vigor.
The object of the association is to
bring Rosebud district to the front as
an ore producer Just as soon as vigor-
ous. determined and welldirected work
can do it The primary object being
10 make Rosebud one among the many
lively mining camps Ill Nevada There
IS no stock of the association for sale,
At this season of the year. the roads
arc in rather bad condition, and mater
5al of every kind necessary for building
and mining purposes arc scarce, and
hard to obtain. Lots in Rosebud are
selling fast and much activity prevails
in the town and in the mines. a tcle-
phone and telegraph line will be es.
tablished between Rosebud and Rye
Patch. probably. eleven miles west of
Humboldt. Rye Patch is little fur
Ther than is Humboldt, but it is bet
ter road, and the probabilities are, the
terminal point will be located there. AS
soon as the season opens, it ia the in
tenlion, Mr. Rooklidge SAYS, of the asso-
citation TO run an automobile between
the railroad and Rosebud camp. Every
body looks for a busy year In that
section of Humboldt county. The in
dications are decidedly favorable for
the opening up of some great producing
mines.
Mr. Rooklidge said he was surprised
at the condition of things in San Fran
cisco. Building there is on large
scale and the progress made is wonder
full, Buildings arc going up rapidly,
and the debris left as the result of the
earthquake and fire IS being rapidly
removed The Southern Pacific Offices
moved into the new Flood building Sun
day. There is more business being
conducted in San Francisco now than
before the fire, While in the city, Mr..
Rooklidge says, he found Mr.. w. e.
Wilson, formerly of Salt Lake, but who
is now vicepresident and manager of
The American National bank. Mr. Will
son is doing business and great bust
ness in the old building which was par
tally destroyed, but IS now nearly re-
paired. and in a short time, it will be
In complete shape, better and more
convenient than before the fire,
