Schawb's investments in Mayflower-BulI-
frog Consolidated and other propertNs
has caused a rush to get in on BullfroS
stocks.
All around Rhyolite, at Lee district,
Greenwater and other camps, rich ore is
being found, and as soon as the rail-
road reaches camp, about Dec. 10. there
will be a big boom on, but the steady

ANOTHER SALT lAKER
LIKES ROSEBUD CAMP

L. A. Jeffs. the young mining engi-
neer, returned yesterday morning from
a two weeks trip into the Rosebud dis
trict, Nevada. He states that snow has
fallen to a depth of several inches and
that the weather is now quite cold. He
admonishes any one contemplating a
trip into the district to go with plenty
of warm clothing and bedding. A res
taurant has been opened at the new
townsite, which it has been decided to
call Rosebud rather than Powhattan, so
il is no longer necessary to carry pro-
visions, unless the pilgrim prefers to.
Mr.. Jeffs passed 9. D. Rooklidge and
r. W. Sloan going in Sunday morning,
and met any number of Salt Lake peo-
pie during his two weeks Of ''hoofing
it. about the district
'It is a great big country, said Mr..
Jeffs. land it is well mineralized over
an area of five by fifteen miles to my
personal knowledge. How much more
extensive the mineral zone may prove
to be ] would not venture to say. The
chief mineral-bearing formations are
rhyolite and porphyry and, while high
grade silver ore is found in some of the
properties. my humble opinion is that
the country is going to stand out as
pre-eminently a gOld-bearing region.
1t is being demonstrated every day
gold, and / have some samples that il
lustrate this condition perfectly. In all
of the properties upon which any work
has been done good ore has been en-
countered and l have no doubt but
what the district is going to open into a
highly productive one. 1t would be pos
sible to ship $25 ore from there at a
profit.
THE impression has gone out that the
whole country has been located. That
is a mistake. There is any amount of
fine country to prospect in, country that
should prove just as good as anything
heretofore found. 1t is a little difficult
to prospect there just now on account
of the snow that has fallen during the
past few days. People who know the
country, however, declare that snow
does not long remain on the ground out
there and that few days will see the
late fall all gone"
Mr.. Jeffs says that the Lawrence
combination, the Rosebud Mining COM
pany, has a remarkably fine showing in
its Golden Anchor property, and a num-
Der of others give equal promise of
turning out big.

Men Are Now at Work Clearing OBJ

Manager c. L. Rood went out TO the
Park yesterday TO note the progress of
work in the Ontario drain tunnel. He
had not returned last night. 1t is stated
that the main tunnel has been entered

Camp is Better Understood.

The history of Stateline abounded in
disappointment, until recently, to both
the owners of claims and investors. This
has been owing TO a misunderstanding
as to the actual ore occurrence on the
one hand and mismanagement of prop
erty on the other hand. Formerly the
prospector in the Stateline district was
satisfied, after delving into a great
quartZz-porphyry dyke. showing fair val
ues, to rest in the belief that great
discovery had been made, and showed
more zeal in appraising the value of his
ground than in seeking definite ore
shoots showing perfect cleavage and dis
tinct planes between the country rock.
To G. Z. Peak undoubtedly belongs the
discovery that greater values could be
obtained by ignoring the great dykes and
spar veins and developing the smaller
indications, consisting Of veins no thicker
than a lead pencil, but showing uniform
values. Such a vein was followed on the
Sidewinder property recently, and it
widened to five feet in 105 feet of depth,
and averaged better than $40 per ton in
gold and silver.
1t is confidently asserted by parties
who have viewed this strike that it will
prove to be the keynote of the camp and
will lead to the entire rejuvenation of the
district soon

ambassador Reid advocates Broader
Educational ViezCs.

Bristol. England March 30-Whitelaw Reid.
the American Ambassador TO Great Britain and
Augustine Birrell president Of the Board Of
Education, were the chief guests at the annual
dinner tonight Of the University College Colston
Society. at which IL was announced that a
scheme had been taken up for the esta blishnent
of a university at Bristol, for which $4,000 of
the required $1,OOO.OOO had been subscribed.
Mr.. Reid delivered an interesting address on
education in America. After abiding to the
many historical associations which had made
the name of Bristol sound sweet to American
ears. the ambassador drew an interesting com
parison between the educational progress OF
England and that of the United States. While
in England the tendency Of university courses
was more in the direction OF scientific and tech
biological knowledge, in America the belief was
growing that 1t might be advantageous to give
greater attention to old studies pure scholar
ship and literature, and that scientific education
might be carried too far for the best interests OF
the rising generation. "In my belief" said MT
Reid the time can never come when spiritual
things will not outweigh those merely material"
