WHEN BILLY REED WASHED
GOLD ON The SAN Juh


Billy Reed writes from Tacoma,
Colo. to the cortez journal as
follows:
II ran across clipping of yours In
iioning the discovering of gold In the
red rock of the lower San Juan. AS
was in the stampede OF '33 and went
back in '94 and wintered on the river
at Lime Wash, had some time to
examine the canon above for ledge
matter. wherefore l am interested.
The success l had was discovering
seams of jasper. laying fiat like on
the walls Of the canon, from one TO
three inches thick. / had this jasper
tested in Cripple Creek which gave
returns of IS in gold. AS for oil!
Why. where | washed above Lime
Wash Rapids, the gravel was SO sat
urated with oil that ii was utterly
impossible TO keep the rocker plate
clean and save all the gold. And the
people of Bluff City treats the adven-
turer in those parts just as II they
had always known him, and the best
is none too good for the wanderer.
God bless them. Ii this will throw a
little hidden light on the wealth of
the San Juan, will think / have
contributed my mite. as | am getting
TOO old to run around much now"
Semi-weekly herald., 1908-05-07

The newest color shown in the ad-
vanced styles for spring is called null
berry. This seems TO be cross be-
tween crushed strawberry and rasp-
berry. and It is just near enough to
old rose to be becoming to almost any
complexion. The most charming of
linen suits are made In this color, the
white cuffs and yoke softening the tone
where it comes near the face. Many
of these dresses are trimmed with
white cotton or soutache braid In all
sorts OF intricate designs. The new
mirage silk also comes in this color
and makes most fascinating material
for house dresses and dancing frocks
for young girls.
