worth while to pay for the property

The manner in which the represen-
tatives OF the Nevada Mines Syndicate
secured the White Alps group is inter
esting rs showing the kind Of hustle
Salt Lake talent brings TO bear upon
It's mining operations. G. G. Goss, one
Of the party on the ground at Rosebud,
stated yesterday that the syndicate had
secured n call upon the group which
was no more comprehensive than per
mission on the part of the Gold6eld
owners TO look over the group when the
snow was off. One warm day long be-
fore the snow was scheduled by man
kind TO disappear 1t surprised them by
So doing, and the bare surface was
prospcctcd one night by moonlight.
Mr. Goss states that he found abun
Gant evidence of the necessity of Sc
curing the property, and kept the re-
suit Of the midnight search, and even
tho search itself, secret until he had
secured the group from the owners.
When once in possession, Mr.. Goss
placed eleven men at work doing some
extremely interesting stunts upon the
vein he had found a few nights before.
and when Rosebud was awake it saw
with astonishment that another active
proposition had bossomed over night,
Some of the White Alps neighbors, who
had taken time philosophically for sew
cFal weeks, Degan 20 IeallZe Inelr mis-
take, and when they saw what the
White Alps had they greatly regretted
their inaction. One Of the first to take
a look at the group was A. P. May
berry, Of the United States company,
and a member Of the Nevada Mines
syndicate. He took mine samples from
the vein at intervals, and acknowledged
that he took the poorest rock he could
find. The samples showed an average
of over $40 TO the ton. Subsequent as
SAYS show that out of 81 samples, the
general average was S1ll'per ton.
Word now comes from the property,
which is being worked most diligently
by large force of men, that second
and parallel vein has been discovered,
and that three feet of similar charac-
ter Of rock has been demonstrated. The
first vein extends across the White
Elps group for three thousand feet,
and with depth the same kind of blue
quartz ie being found which closely
resembles the ore Of the noted Mo
hawk of Goldfleld The new company
will begin life under the most favorable
circumstances that could be desired,
and the organizers have every conf
dence in their proposition being
steady and generous producer
