ISAWTOOTH MAKING
A GREAT RECORD
They Like

George A. Childers, secretary OF
the Rosebud Investment company,
and Charles Cook of Salt Lake City.
drove over from Rosebud Thursday
and put in the day examining the
properties of the district. They were
greatly surprised at the showings
made here.
Haywood Makes Rich Strike
Charles Haywood, who is working
on his property about one and one-
half miles north of Sawtooth,
brought in some specimens of ore
Tuesday that show considerable ma
tive silver and specks Of free gold.
This discovery increases to a great
extent the area of the known min
eral belt of the Sawtooth district
and demonstrates that Sawtooth is
one of the largest as we'll as richest
mining districts in the state. The
rock brought in by Mr.. Hayward will
run between $50 and 800 in gold,
silver and copper to the ton.
Sunrise Developing Well
Work on the Sunrise group con-
tinues regularly and uninterruptedly.
This property was recently purchased
from the locators by Warner &
Stewart, the well-known and success
full operators. who have never scored
a failure in the mining business, and
1t is safe to say that the Sunrise I'M
der their management will prove a
winner.
Shipment Soon from CottontaiI
The shaft on the Co~ttontail has
reached a depth of fifty feet, and de-
velopment work under the direction
of E. A. Ludwick, one of the owners,
is progressing regularly and system
atically. The ore being extracted
carries good values and a shipment
from this property may be expected
at an early date.
Take Option on Nightfan
John f. Dwyer, accompanied by
Messrs. Underwood and France, we'll
known business men of st. Joseph,
Mo-, arrived in camp last Sunday and
spent the day inspecting a number OF
properties, Special attention was
given to the Nightfall group upon
which they took a ten-day option.
They were f%avorably impressed not
only with that property. but with the
district in general and their visit will
doubtless result in bringing st. Jo-
seph capital into camp. The gentle
men, being from Missouri, insisted
upon being shown and they saw
all that was possible in the time al
their disposal.
Leasers Start Big Work
w. NJ. Anderson of Salt Lake City
and d. C. Holcomb of Rosebud have
secured a lease and bond on the
Pembroke and Monarch groups oil
properties and will work them In
connection with nearby claims OF
their own. Both Mr.. Anderson and
Mr.. Holcomb We're early in Sawtoott
and are thoroughly familiar with tbs
district.
1t is the intention of the lessee,
to sink a shaft to a depth of 100
feet and then drift both ways on tho
vein. Besides themselves, Messrs
anderson and Holcomb have three
men at work and others will b,
placed on the payroll as development
progresses. Two experienced shat
men and a %wagonload of supple,
came in from Rosebud Tuesday anC
were sen up to the property wher'
the camp will be made. There is al
excellent spring of water on one o
the claims.
There is an unusually good sur
face showing OF these properties
The main ledge is characteristic o
the Sawtooth district, being stronl
and well-defined, cropping plainl,
through more than 5000 feet of tn,
property. The average width of thil
ledge is fully five feet. Assay re
turns of more than 100 ounces ant
from 81 to $50 in gold per ton hav,
been received from samples takei
from the surface.
The property is about a mile nortl
of the Sunrise, and the big ledg,
runs parallel with that on the latte
property. The lessees expect to be
gin sacking shipping ore from tn
surface.
Messrs. Anderson and Holcomb al
so propose to do the assessmen
work by themselves and Mr.. Penn
broke.

limac Mining company. which ha
