MATTERS AROUND
ROSEBUD CAMP


wide carrying high gold values has
been recently exposed on the Cloudy
No. ! claim Of the Cloudy group
which Joins the Springfield group on
the east.
The Cloudy group belongs to Bar
ret and Barry. who were among the
first 10 make locations in the Rose
bud district.
Messrs. Barrett and Barry thought
that before doing their annual as
sessment work on the Cloudy group,
it would be worth while to do some
panning and prospecting first in or
der that their work might be done
intelligently, so they started in pan
ming the loan and wash in a long
gulch which has its source almost at
the top of the ridge. The first few
paintings down near town showed
nothing, but as they proceeded up the
gulch color or two was found. Co
ing further up the gulch on the side
of the hill the paintings seemed to
get better until they had almost
reached the ridge This led them to
begin trench about four feet wide
by four feet deep across the ridge in
search for a ledge. They had not
trenched more than fifteen feet, how
ever, until ledge about one and one
half feet wide was encountered
which PANIED very freely.
Assays from the ledge show it tc
carry values averaging about sac
per ton in gold. 1t is the plan of the
owners to begin sinking at once or
their ledge as they are very much
elated over their find.
The ledge matter is of the same
quartz porphyry) character as thai
of the Springfield.
On November Messrs. Dildine
Rogers and Elffner encountered d
rich streak of high grade in the
winze which they are sinking on the
Springfield claim. The rich streak
was found at a depth of about clever
feet in the Wine or at about fifty
feet depth from the surface. The
streak is about four inches wide and
from paintings made it is the judg
n1ent of those who ought to know
that the values are good for $500
per ton.
The gold is very coarse. and The
character of the rock very free mill
ing, SO much SO that Mr.. Elffner is
| at present rigging up rocker in or
der to separate the gold from the
rock. He says there is no use ship
ping to smelter as he could not ge
his money for long time and if hi
| could get it now it would be in ths
form of check and checks won
buy anything at present. Mr.. Elf
ner states that with a little bag O
gold dust he can buy anything, any
where, anytime, panic or no panic.
A carload of the rich gold or,
from the Brown Palace has beer
taken out of camp recently and load
| ed on to car at Humboldt House
leaving for the Salt Lake smelter,
last Monday
Mr.. Parkhurst and Superintendent
| Fink left Tuesday for Salt Lake il
order to be present at the time thei
ore is sampled.
| 1t is thought that the entire ca
will average about $500 per ton
A force of men has recently beer
| put to work trenching on the Ga
lena King property at Sawtooth. 1
is the plan of the management to d.
some extensive development work. /
is very likely that a 200-foot shat
will be sunk as soon as the surfac.
has been prospected, satisfactorily
| Mr. Ferguson, engineer and manage
for the Irving X. Harrington compan,
of New York. is at present in camp
He expresses himself as being high
ly pleased with their Galena Kin,
property. He will spend some tim,
here watching development Hum
