RICH STRIKES in
ROSEBUD DISTRICT

Rosebud district, which lies north of
the Sulphur road, made a strike a
few days ago which looks to be one
of the biggest and best yet, says the
Rosebud Mining News. Thursday he
brought in some fine specimens of ore
and had assays made. The result was
the startling returns of $235.65 in
gold and silver. This result is only
startling when taken into considera-
ton with the fact that the samples
were taken from a ledge which shows
a width Of eight feet and is traceab,e
for a long distance. Mr.. Mum made
the strike on the Durango Girl claim,
which is situated about two and 2
Ealf miles northwest of the town of
Rosebud. From a bold outcrop on
this claim he knocked off a piece of
rock which had a likely appearance,
being impregnated with the sulphidos
which are characteristic of the rich
silver ore Of the district. He con-
tinued to prospect in the vicinity and
after very little search found what he
was looking for-the white cherry
quartz carrying brittle silver. This is
the stuff which Mr.. Mum brought to
town and had assayed, with the re.
turns as above stated. When news of
the strike spread around it caused a
stampede from the town of Rosebud
and all the open ground in the vi
cinity of Mr.. Munn's claims has been
located. The latest reports are that
the extent and richness of the strike
have not been exaggerated. The ore
is so rich that it is OF shipping grade
right from the surface. Already sacks
have been ordered and it will be only
a matter of a few days when a ship
ment can be made. Messrs. Thomas,
Scossa and Inglis own a group of
claims in the immediate vicinity of
the strike. In this same section is
the Golden Triangle group, which f..
f. Abstein recently sold to Salt LAX
ers. The discovery greatly enhances
the value of the properties in that
region.
Developments on the White Alps
where the rich strike was made lest
week, fully substantiate the first re
ports of it's extent and value. Sup
erintendent Goss has mad a force o.
men at work for several days and thu
ledge has been stripped for a distance
of 900 feet. 1t shows a width TO
4 that distance of from two to six fee
wide, the ore being of the sulphid,
character and carrying high values il
: gold as well as silver. The initia
point of discovery is only a short dis
: lance from the Brown Palace end
7 line and it is believed that the ledg
which shows SO we'll on the Whit
g Alps is the same as that which ha
been proved for several hundred fee
y on the Macdonald and Parkhurs
property.
d Work on the Golden Anchor is be
n ing rapidly pushed both on the con
a pany account and by ieasers, the d.
9 velopments being of such MAGNITUDE
n as to fully entitle 1t to rank as on
= of the premier properties of tn
d, camp. The company tunnel is no
81 in 125 feet and ore is being take

dreds in value.
II The tunnel on the Van Fleet leai

in $50 feet. From these workini
ore of high value is being steadily e
