With those established at adjacent
springs and within a radius of one and
a half miles, Rosebud contains over l5G
tents. md the procession is just COM

and cold, new people are daily arriving

however is the Brown Palace This is
the great big silver ledge which shows
above the surface. and from which high

with very rich schutes and pipes in
places. This, too, 1t now owned by
Tonopah, Goldfield and Salt Lake peo-
