PURCHASE BIG SIX GROUP
AT ROSEBUD.

In Winnemucca a few days ago
there was contaminated the final de-
tails of the zeal by which Malcolm
Macdonald and l.. A. Parkhurst ac-
quired the Big Six group of claims in
the Rosebud district. The sale was
made under an option secured by C.
G. Goss Of Salt Lake City from the
owners, w. r. Mccarthy and H. G.
Kicks. The first payment, a good
round sum-, was made on the pur-
chase price. The entire amount to
be paid for the property has not been
made public, but it is known that it
is well up in the five figures.
The purchase of the Big Six group
by Messrs. Macdonald and Parkhurst,
who already own the Brown Palace,
is of more than passing moment and
a renewed expression of their conf
dence in this great district. In thus
extending their investments in Rose
bud, they have added another to
their rapidly growing list of winners,
the Big Six being one of the proved
properties in the district. 1t con
sists of five claims, on one of which
was recently made one OF the richest
strikes since the discovery of Rose.
bud.
Traversing the claim is a mann
moth dyke, sixty feet in width, which
was closely sampled at the time the
option was taken by Mr.. Goss, the
returns being $29 for the entire
width. Running through the dyke
ire a network of veins ranging from
one foot to five feet in width, these
carrying the richest silver ore.
Picked samples from these lodges
have given values as high as 1900
ounces in silver. The ore runs high
in horn and native silver and car

The Big Six group adjoins the
we'll known Golden Triangle, which
was recently acquired by Salt Lake
and eastern capitalists and on which
work is now being actively prose
cuted to develop the rich ore bodies
uncovered by the original locator, H
T. Abstein. Extensive work is alsC
planned for the Big Six, making thu
outlook for that part of the distric
especially roseate.
At the Golden Triangle a force o
four men is now at work on develop

the High Hills claim and some yer,
good values are showing. Thi
trench will be continued across tn
full width of the vein. On tn,
Golden Triangle claim a tunnel is be
ing driven to intersect at depth tn
vein from which assays as high a
sos were obtained.
The Durango Girl group is one o
the most promising properties in thi
section. The original strike on thes
claims was made several weeks age
the ore being rich in silver and as
says as high as 500 have been OBJ
tanned. The company which is t
