ROSEBUD is PROVING UP.
Mines are Looking Better Than Ever
Before.

Before.
There has never been a time in the
short history of the Rosebud mining
| district when the prospects OF the
camp were SO bright as at present.
It is true that the population of the
town is now less than it was during
the spring and early summer-but
that is true of every other mining
camp in the state. The deserts OF
Nevada are not famous for Their
pleasant climatic conditions, and dur
ing the summer months every person
who is able to do so leaves the min
ing towns for their old homes or for
the alluring breezes of the seashore.
Many people who have left Rosebud
to spend their vacation will return
here as soon as cool weather sets in.
The Brown Palace. has shipping
ore in two shafts and is sacking at
both places; the leasers on the White
Alps are sacking first class ore and
will ship as soon as they have a car
load; the strike of rich r made this
week in the Dreamland at a depth
Of 100 feet is the most important
event in the history of the camp.
The Western Pacific railway is
making rapid progress toward Rose
bud and 1t will be but a short time
until ore can be shipped over that
road with only a seven or eight mile
haul.
There are probably three hundred
claims In the district upon which the
annual assessment work will be done
during the next three months. This
work will distribute a large sum of
money among the miners and bust
ness men OF the camp.
AS development progresses addi-
tions will be made to the forces OF
men now at work in the mines. Rose
bud will be a great mining camp
one of the greatest in the state, but
it will not be made in a day. The
ore is here, but the mines will be
found with d%epth--not on the sur
face.
Tuesday the Dreamland struck ore
in the 16-foot crosscut that has been
run from the bottom OF the 100-foot
shaft. This is the deepest working
in the district in which ore has been
opened up. The r is similar to that
found on the surface and in the drift
run from the shaft at a depth of
forty feet. A sample of the exposed
portion of the ledge gave assay re-
turns of more than 100 ounces in
silver and about 81 in gold. Drifts
were run diagonally from the shaft
In two directions and the n run to
the south was the first to encounter
the ore. This shows y considerable
increase in the size of the shoot as
the one found at the 40-foot level
was north of the shaft. This level
was run a distance OF ninety feet and
is in ore all the distance.
This strike proves conclusivelg
that the greatest values and the larg-
est bodies of ore in this camp will be
found with depth. The development
on the Dreamland. under the man
agement of j. B. Harper, has been
done in a systematic and miner-like
manner. and the discovery OF rich ore
at a depth of 100 feet means much
not only to the fortunate owners of
the property, but also to the holders
of other claims.
Sacking of high grade ore on the
Rosebud Mining and Leasing com
pany's ground on the White Alps con
tinues. The leasers are filling fifteen
or twenty sacks OF ore per day with
only two men at work. A shipment
will be made as soon as a carload is
taken out.-Humboldt Star.
