RICH GOLD LODE IN
ROSEBUD DISTRICT
SENSATIONAL VALUES OPENED
IN THE STAR-IMPORTANT
DEVELOPMENT

1t is indeed refreshing to note the
aggressive spirit displayed by the
SAT- Lake papers in at once taking
mold and pushing on the plow when
Salt Lakers become interested in a
new Nevada mine or field. Hardly
does a citizen of that place get his
money IN before the Herald and
Tribute take hold with a vengeance
n really seem never to tire of
boosting. This spirit is certainly a
commendable one and many other
cities could very well follow the lead
OF these enterprising and reliable pa
pers. The following from the Trib-
une Is only one instance and a thou-
sand more would not cover the
ground, for the Tribune is at all
times and under all circumstances
helping the Salt Laker in whatever
held he may be found:
Three gold-bearing lodges have
oeen uncovered near Vernon in the
seven Troughs district, during the
last few days, adding productive
ground to two well-known proper-
ties, the Observation-Disclosures pron-
erty and the Moler property, adjoin-
ing the town, and revealing sensa-
tional values in new territory, the
Star group. The second east-and-
west vein, the third g%old-bearing
BODY to be opened up on the D
W OF Ben t. Lloyd and H. w. Knick-
erbocker, was discovered by Mr..
hnickerbocker as the result of sur
race t%renching, The size and nature
OF the vein is attracting wide atten-
ton. That it is an unusually pro
ductive ledge is proved from heavy
paintings of oarse gold taken from
the point of discovery. The vein is
n of the largest quartz bodies SO
far opened up in the camp.
This latest find closes for Messrs
Lloyd and Knickerbocker a remark
able chapter of strikes on their
ground beginning a few weeks ago
IN a thousand-dollar strike on the
surface, followed by other discover
les which eliminated a few days ago
IN the exposure of a ten-inch streak
OF ore at a depth of twenty feet
showing, according to ASSAY values
ranging from $745 to s1776 in gold
per ton, and ending in the latest
strike. As a result of these events
there has been a veritabIe rush of
lessees for the ground. Jacob Bibl
and associates of Vernon have taken
a lease on what is known as thu len

have been ordered and all the men
can be found are being put to
work.
The Moler strike is considered of
significance as revealing a
second notable ore body on what has
long been considered as one of the
most substantial properties in the
camp. This is nothing less than a
ledge, $50 feet north of tbe
present workings of the Moler prom
erty, which shows in the pan good
Quantities of the yellow metal.
The new ledge parallels the ia
nous Buckthorn ledge of Mr.. Mo-
.er S claim from which $50 sacks of
ore, averaging better than 5000 per
ON, were recently taken out while
cutting the ledge with a vertical
shaft. The ore here averaged better
han 5000 for four or five feet. Al
depth of so feet a 40-foot crescent
has almost regained the ledge, when
IN era of production for the Moler
property will undoubtedly begin.
The strike on the star group is in
great many ways a surprise. In
addition to a quartz ledge exposure.
