BROWN PALACE WILL
SEND IN MUCH ORE
ROSEBUD DISTRICT SAID TO
HAVE BEEN PLAYING WATT
ING GAME.

Originally Salt Lake City took a
! decided fancy to the new district
known as Rosebud in Nevada. 1t was
and still is Salt Lake camp, but
/ practically nothing has been said re-
garding this section of the Sage
! brush state for months. Those who
! should know what they are talking
about are of the opinion that lack of
/ proper development work this sum-
mer has done more toward placing
/ the section under The clouds of neg
i lect than lack of ores and opportu-
mites. Undoubtedly they are cor
rect Rosebud has played waiting
game, although its surface richness
was exploited for months as the most
exciting in all Nevada.
There is one property there, the
| Brown Palace, that has been one of
the modern day wonders of Nevada
mining. Those with Rosebud inter-
ests have looked to this property to
take the lead, and it begins now to
look as if the owners have risen to
the occasion. For several days past
there have been frequent conferences
held in this city between the large
stockholders of this organization
were Malcolm Macdonald. and
Messrs. Gillies and Parkhurst Mr..
Mcdonald stated that the Brown Pal
ace property had been the point of
interest in these various conferences,
and while he was not at liberty to
disclose what has been transacted
in these meetings, he would say that
the Brown Palace was about to be
/ 4 al thp
most approved lines.
Mr.. Macdonald stated. that the
owners had been loafing along in
lazy way for several months owing
to the weather conditions, the scar
city of miners and other causes which
now bid fair to take wing. At the
present time the company had ship
ment en- route to the local market,
which will average close to $3.50 per
ton, and perhaps close to $500, while
what work has been done SO far dem
onstrated pretty fairly that the re-
sources SO generous at grass roots
will be found with depth equally as
satisfactory. And shipments will be
sent out right along as soon as the
company gets down to hard work.
Regarding the new Montgomery
Shoshone MILL Mr.. Macdonald states
that the plant has been ready for
operations for the past thirty days.
the drawback being the lack of cleo
trio power. The company now is as
sured that this power will be avail
able on the 18th of this month"; and
then ore will be fed to this modern
mill.
There was an inclination in local
circles yesterday to believe that Mr..
Macdonald, one of Charles NJ.
Schwabs partners in the Nevada
mining fields, had been framing up
some sort of deal or combination
with F. Augustus Heinze. Mr.. Mac
Donald stated yesterday that there
was no truth whatever in the report
that it was a very bad guess. He
left last night for Butte on mining
