ORIGINAL REGENT is MOST
POPULAR OF RAHIDES

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 exemplifed 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 a steady campaign of develop
ment, and though operations there
are not characterized by such sensa-
tions as attend the labor of the own
ers Of properties in what is known
as the gold zone, big mining is CO.
ing on just the same, and the results
are beginning to sum up into actual
developments that will form a basis
for the continual prosperity OF the
Rawhide camp. In fact, it is gener-
ally conceded tnat a 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 the
gold-silver zone is the Regent group,
now owned by the Rawhide Syndicate
Mines company. This group made up
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 Will
liam Shadler. during the winter of
19~06-1907, under circumstances that
make ordinary hardships seem but
slight. The location work was ac-
complished in a foot of snow, and
cost Shadler his life, his death fol-
lowing the completion of the work
but a few days. At the time Wasser
and Shadler went into Fairview with
their rich samples of ore consider
able excitement was created and
there was a stampede to what was
then designated Regent. After
wards the interest fell off somewhat
and many locators failed to do the
first work required to hold the
claims.
The Regent property has changed
hands several times, and has finally
been secured, for a large considera-
ton, by a strong syndicate. and the
holding corporation is known as Raw.
hide Syndicate Mines company. The
estate is a large one, embracing thu
