ROSEBUD ELATED
BY RICH Lodges
New District Is Forging Rapid
ly to Front, Says Mac
MILAN.
WHITE ALPS A BONANZA
MELTING OF SNOW SIGNAL FOR
BIG DEVELOPMENT.

The new district of Rosebud over in
Humboldt county is giving the Seven
Troughs and Wonder camps a close run
TOT honors in Nevada mining at this
time, said ]. H. Macmillan of Cold
held, who is stopping at the Knutsford
for a few days.
II is only recently that sufficient
snow mas left the ground to enable ex-
tehslVe prospecting and development
work In Rosebud, and tie results have
Deeh almost instantaneous. Lodges
wonderful in extent and richness have
been opened up in several sections of
this new district with a consequential
Doom IN mining way at that place."
continued the Nevada mining operator
MI Macmillan is developing property
in Goidfield, Greenwater, Manhattan
and Wonder, and has inspected the
larger properties recently in all of the
younger mining camps in the Sage
prush state. With reference to Rose
buds present showing in a mineral
way. MIR. Macmillan safd:
The miners at work on the White
Alps group of claims adjoining the ia
nous Brown Palace group owned by
SchWab, Malcolm l.. Macdonald and
associates. have encountered in an I'M
usually large ledge values running 1855
In silver and $235 in gold This ledge
mas been stripped sufficiently to permit
of samples being taken for a distance
OF 200 feet and the values have re-
manned uniform in average. The ore
and character of the rock is identical
with that encountered on the Brown
Palace or Nevada Rosebud companyS
property, and there is not the slightest
doubt in the district but that it is the
Identical ledge which runs through the
Nevada Rosebud claims, and from
which such extraordinary assays were
obtained by Mr.. Macdonald in his re-
cent visit to the property.
Development is Started.
Two weeks ago Messrs. Macdonald
and Parkhurst went to Rosebud and
in company with Captain Case, the su-
perintendent, sampled the property
thoroughly. Mr. Macdonald reported
at that time that from samples taken
from eight feet of the outcroppings
values of 1894 were obtained; that the
ledge in places is forty feet in width,
and that ii could be easily traced for
distance of $500 feet.
This report was made by Mr.. Mac
donald shortly after his return from
Rosebud, and at the time he confirmed
the purchase of the Brown Palace
group from Phil Blum for the Schwab
syndicate. Captain Case, one OF the
most competent mining men in the
west, was engaged to open up the prop
erty. and he at once put q force of
twenty men. at work. Two tunnels are
being driven into the hill and a shaft
started to cut z separate gold vein
which gives Ugh values also. Hardly
had Captain Cases men got fairly
started on their development work
than the miners employed on the White
Alps group. adjoining the Nevada Rose
bud property, broke into high values
The following three days saw some ex-
cellent developments in the property,
which has proved of unusual benefit
and importance to Rosebud. The ledge
now being opened on the White Alps
group is the same ledge encountered on
the Nevada Rosebud or Brown Palace
group, and in consequence proves the
continuity of the vein for distance of
about 1.200 feet, and with it the GER
tainty of uniform values.
