IT'S GOLD TOO
Maybe Mine is Showing up
Good in Yellow Metal-$85
to the Ton

Situated on the South Fork of
the Encampmeni river, about five
miles above town, is doubtless one
of the best gold propositions in
the whole Encampment District.
Gu the same vein as the Golden
Eagle Gel Rey) Golden Center,
Golden Daisy and Oriole Mines.
This property was located in
1897 by A. N. Prosser, who inter-
ested several of his friends here in
the district, and work was carried
on by driving a tunnel to catch a
very rich surface cropping. When
the tunnel had been driven about
fifty feet, a blind lead of Anorite
WAS struck which looked good to
all interested. A winze was sunk
on the vein and at water level fine
sulphuretts were encountered con-
centrating $500 to the ton in
gold. This ore continued to fill
the Wine, about seven feet wide
until the water forced the men
out and the Wine WAS abandoned
the time when machinery could
be procured to continue the work.
In driving the tunnel farther,
about 10 feet from winze No. l a
tale wall was discovered showing
unmistakable evidence of being
the permanent wall. In sinking
on this wall at a depth of fifty
feet, the sulphurettes are begin
ing to come in but too much water
is still the difficulty. The tunnel
is now driven in over 200 feet,
the last few feet being in low
grade sulphide ore.
The Maybe Gold and Copper
Co., was incorporated in 1902,
since which time good substantial
buildings have been erected, a
within installed and the mine is
we'll equipped with tools to carry
on development. Work will be
carried on as fast as possible and
the company hope soon to show
the good people of the district
that Encampment is a better gold
camp than some of our sister states
can boast of. Depth is all we
need.-Encampment Herald.

Blister Copper

Have you noted the ten horse
teams going thru here on their
way to the railroad, loaded with
blister copper? If not it will pay
you to climb up on the sideboards
of some of the freight steamers
that cruise between Walcott and
Encampment, and note the pure
truck" that is being hauled out on
its way to New York City. No
wonder the Penn Wyoming is
hustling the construction of the S.
& E. road to completion. 1t
needs it in it's business. When
the road is completed to Saratoga
it's large freight teams can haul
twice as much as now, for they
will have to go less than half the
distance and over a far better road
In the meantime they must be do
ing something at Encampment.
This copper did not come out OF
the ground in that shape. 1t has
had to be hauled over a 16 mile
tramway, crushed and run thru a
concentration and then thru a fur
mace to come out looking like that
There is some work about all that
though it takes but a moment to
write it out. The first thing we
know that copper will be coming
back to us IN many different shap-
es and we may be talking thru
wires, and using some vessel
made from the very stuff that is
now being hauled thru here on its
way to the railroad.
