search for a ledge. They had not
trenched more than fifteen feet, how
ever, until a ledge about n and one
half feet wide was encountered,
which PANIED very freely,
Assays from the ledge show it TO

owners to begin sinking at once on
their ledge as they are very much
elated over their fiHd.
The ledge matter is OF the same

of the Springfield.
On November 7 Messrs. Dildine,
Rogers and Elffner encountered a
rich streak of high grade in the
winze which they are sinking on the
Springfield claim. The rich streak
was found at a depth of about eleven
feet in the Wine or at about fifty
feet depth from the surface. The
streak is about four inches wide and

A ledge about one and a half feet
wide carrying high gold values has
been recently exposed on the Cloudy
No. / claim of the Cloudy group,
which joins the Springfield group on
the east.
The Cloudy group belongs to Bar
ret and Barry, who were among the
first to make locations in the Rose
bud district.
Messrs. Barrett and Barry thought
that before doing their annual as

intelligently, so they started in pan

gulch which has its source almost a.

paintings down near town showed
nothing, but as they proceeded up thu
gulch a color or two was found. Go
ing further up the gulch on the sid
of the hill the paintings seemed t
get better until they had almos
