| 9 GOLD STRIKE.
Mammoth Ledge Is Opened Up by
Leasers at Rosebud.

Mammoth Ledge Is Opened Up by
Leasers at Rosebud.
A rich strike of considerable mag
nitude of free gold orc, which means
much to the camp, inasmuch as it in
creases the known mineral area, has
been made by Messrs. Dildine, Rogers
and Effner, working on the Spring
field claim, which is one of a group Of
four claims under bond and lease to
them from Charles Spencer. The
scene of the strike is about a quarter
of a mile from and overlooking the
town of Rosebud, proves that the
gold bearing area lies to the south
and southeast of the town. The Gold
en- Anchor, lying nearly esat of Rose
bud, has had ore in the discovery
shaft which assayed over thirteen
ounces in gold, OIL about 1858 per ton.
The Florence group, lying just over
the hill and east Of the Springfield,
has a rich showing of free gold scat
tered through a vein twenty-six feet
wide.
After three weeks spent in pros
pecting and looking over the camp,
Messrs. Dildine, Rogers and l1ffner
settled on the Springfield group as a
likely spot, having obtained paintings
of free gold from the vein, cropping
ON the surface. Many of the old
timers thought these gentlemen were
trusting to luck when they began
sinking on the ledge in this supposed
barren area, but their years of varied
experience in active mining taught
them the showing was well worthy
of development and they worked dill
vorable indications which they had
found. A shallow hole was sunk on
the vein to determine pitch and true
course and then a tunnel vas started
below to intersect it at depth.
The tunnel is now in fifty-five feet
and without any attempt at >exagger-
alton they now have thirty-five feet
, of ledge matter, in which free gold
plainly shows almost any spot from
which one cares to detach a piece OF
/ the rock. Dozens of rich specimens
are being shown around town by
, those who have examined the prop
erty.
