of the slower mining estates, by rea-
son of the feverish excitement attend
ing surface discoveries of phenonem-
al values, and consequent shipments
of high-grade from grass roots, it is
not to be expected that experienced
mining men will long overlook them.
This is exemplified in recent move
ments in the gold-silver zone, which
lies parallel to the gold zone of Raw
hide, about two miles further west,
where late developments have ind
Gated a mining zeal which must soon
bring that section of the district into
far greater prominence.
Upon investigation we find such
properties as the Royal, Tiger, Nc
Mann and Original Regent (now
Rawhide Mines Syndicate company
under steady campaign of develop
ment, and though operations there
are not characterized by such sensa-
lions as attend the labor of the own
ers of properties in what is known
as the gold zone, big mining is go
ing on just the same, and the results
are beginning to sum up into actual
developments that will form basis
flor the continual prosperity of the
Rawhide camp. In fact, it is gener-
ally conceded that great part of the
production here will come from this
gold-silver zone where enough work
has been done to demonstrate great
assure veins at considerable depth,
while the values range from high
grade milling to shipping.
On the northern extremity of thu
gold-silver zone is the Regent group
NOW owned by the Rawhide Syndicate
Mines company. This group made VI
the first locations of this section, but
whether they were the immediate
cause of the wonderful discoveries
Of last fall it not known. However
it is certain that they were the orig
inal locations, and were made by vii
liam Shadler, during the winter o
19o6-1907, under circumstances tina
make ordinary hardships seem blu
slight. The location work was &C
complished in a foot of snow, an,
cost Shadler his life, his death fol
lowing the completion of the wor,
but a few days. At the time Vase
and Shadler went into Fairview witt
their rich samples of ore consider
able excitement was created an
there was a stampede to what wa
then designated Regent. Ate,
wards the interest fell off somewha
and many locators failed to do tn
first work required to hold tn
claims.
The Regent property has change
hands several times, and has finall
been secured, for large considers

holding corporation is known as Raw
hide Syndicate Mines company. Tn
estate is a large one, embracing tn
Regent, Emir, Emir Fraction, Liol

Alternate blocks of the Syndical
