Handsomer samples of gold are
not often seen than are those brought
to the city from Osceola, by Frank
Williams. a prominent operator of
that and neigh boring camps The
samples are of sugar quartz, well
sspattered with free gold plainly Wis
ible TO the naked eye. Some of them
were taken from the recent strike
made near the surface of the Half
Moon claim by Mr., Williams son, G..
Luther Williams, while Others came
from the 225 foot level of the Bos-
ton-Nevada company's property ad-
joining z
The ores from the two properties,
although in parallel veins and taken
from different depths are very
much the same. Each has in a five
foot vein about two feet of the rich
quartz running from $3.50 10 5000 a
ton, while the remainder of the vein
is filled with stuff that gives values
of SIS to $25 ton. The Boston-Ne-
vada has the advantage of the Half
Moon, apparently, only in the mat
ter of development, and in doing that
development it has filled its bins with
the high grade ore.
The lodges uncovered are in the
hill from which came the placer gold
that made Osceola famous in the
early days. Mr.. Williams is con-
fident that the camp needs only de-

GOLDFIELD June 6.-Rumors of

this week, and have appeared in pub

parties. Manager Mackenzie, for the

nonsense, and only designed to af-

Developments in the Rosebud,

cate beyond doubt that the Little
Florence and Rogers veins flatten
out and continue under the leases
mentioned to the west, and there is
a theory entertained by many that
the vein apexes quite TO the west of
the Combination No. 3.
A rumor was current just before
going to press and too late for the
News to verify. that the Rosebud had
cut a vein on the 400 foot level-the
second recently discovered, but in
view of the tender situation between
the Florence and the Consolidated

territory, the facts will be awaited
with eagerness.

There's a race of men that don I

So they break the hearts of kith and

They range the field and they rove

And they climb the mountain

The result of this boring has not been
