ers, are responsible Tor the finding
OF gold which led to the discovery
OF tellurium ore by Sol. Camp, a
few months later.
About n year ago, Doc. Clark,
while assisting in some assessment
work in the Eureka district is said
to have accideutly discovered "A
fine particle or two OF gold in some
gravels. This incident was made
known some weeks aitcrward TO
Ed. Clark, his brother. Thereup.
on Ed. began a systematic investi.
CATION. S%ylvanite was discovered
about the latter part Of February
OF the present year. About three
weeks later the secret oi the dis.
covery OF placer gold in the Little
Ratchet Mountains leaked out aud
quite a little excitement prevailed
during the early spring months OF
the present year.
The Clark brothers took out sev
eral hundred dollars OF this placer
gold, as did a number OF others
who had located placer claims. 1t
is estimated that nearly two thou.
sand dollars in placer gold has been
taken from these diggIngs since
the discovery last spring. This
gold was mostly recovered 10y dry
washing; but some gravels were
prospected by wet ~panning. The
ground which proved the best and
was the first worked lies in the
north-central part OF the range
westerly from Howell's well and
south OF the main travelled Hachita
wagon road. Below the ,ownsitt
OF Svlvanite and various portion,
OF the mountain range placer gold
is also found The largest sized
nuggets found weighed about on,
pennyweight.
After the placer excitement hac
subsidized most OF the prospector,
quit the district. Those who re.
manned devoted their time in pros
pecting tor the ource OF the golC
and a number OF lode claims wer,
located early in the summer. Tn,

The Sylvanite Gold Camp Boom

During the last few years atten-
ton has been directed to phenom-
enally rich gold discoveries in the
desert region OF the Southwest.
Nevada, Southern California and
parts oil Arizona have especially
occupied the arena in the mining
world. Within the last thirty DAYS
the storm center OF this gold craze
has shifted and swept yer into
New Mexico and this territory is
Tor the time being in the limelight.
The ultimate outcome OF the dis
covery OF rich gold ore in the Lit
tie hatchet mountains OF New
Mexico, will be watched with in
tense interest by the mining pro-
fession from all parts oil the coun-
try.
Fayette A. Jones, editor OF the
Southwestern Mines, published a,
Albuquerque, has lust made expert
examination OF the ores OF the new
camp OF Sylvanite and gives the
following interesting history OF the
new Eldorado.
HISTORY oF rHE DISTRICT.
The mining district which EN-.
braces the Little Hatchet Range.
was called Eureka by the frs
American prospectors who invaded
the region about the wear 1873
To the great surprise OF these pros
pectors there were found a number
OF prehistoric workings at and neaI
the mining camp OF Old Hachlta
The prospectors, elated over suct
an extraordinary discovery, called
the district Eureka, "hIch nam'
il still retains. Sylvanite camp i
in the Eureka district.
In these old dumps and pits wer,
found fragments OF the most an
cient kind OF pottery, as well a
crude stone hammers and othc
Implements, indicating the ston
age, furnishing conclusive proc
OF the antiquity OF the workings.
These ancient workings wer
made in the mining OF turquoise
as was the case in other parts o
New Mexico where turquoise exists
Old Hachita is the principal poin
where mining has been carried D
by Americans in the Little Hatche
ange. The mining at this pom
was Tor lead, silver and copper
within the last few years some Yin
has also been mined. In additio
to what was done at the old cam
oil Hachita, there are i number {
prospect pits in various parts {
the range that we're made by III
early day miner. Some OF thes
old prospect holes were sunk r,
markably close to and even on III
veins. in several instances, thi
are now responsible Tor the preser
excitement at Sylvanite. Sine

G. H. Waldo, who has a home
stead south of town, is inclined to
think that South Dakota deals
nothing to homesteaders but bad
luck While coming out from De
Witt, Neb., recently, he had the
misfortune to lose his hat, coat and
valise, through the carelessness
of railroad employee. The valise
contained clothes, money and also
valuable papers, the loss OF which
will be about two Thousand dollars
Since coming out he and Mrs.
Waldo have been in two bad mix
ups with their driving horse, out of
which they were SO fortunate as to
escape without serious injury, the
only result being a badly smashed Up
buggy. Our advice to Mrs. Waldo is
to send him back to Nebraska

Shall We Have a Creamery?

Onall we nave II CTelmefy!
As a desire for creamery to be
located here at Philip has been mani
tested by quite mber of the set
tiers, a move in that direction is now
being made, and as it is always we'll
to fully consider step before max
ing it l would suggest that those
interested do little thinking and a
little talking about the matter before
anything further is done. In the
first place, it must be clearly under
stood that the creamery If builded
will have to be built by those inter-
ested, as no company would be will
ing to come in and build one without t
the cooperation of the men behind
the cows. / understood the citizens
have taken up the matter with
creamery companies and they say
that it would be too risky a PROPOSE
ticn for them to build and equip a
creamery at Philip, as they could not
depend on getting cream enough to
justify them without the settlers
pledging themselves beyond what
they would be likely to do without a
personal interest in the enterprise,
and for us settlers to ask the town
to 60 ahead and build . creamery for
us without our cooperation
would be unreasonable; 50 its up to
the settlers themselves whether
there IL creamery buildsd and II we
want one, now is the time to get
Philip weekly review. [volume] (Philip, Stanley County, S.D.) 1907-1912, 1908-08-21

busy and work for it, and the only
hope for success of a creamery al
Philip is the hearty cooperation Of
the settlers themselves, / trust
every one of us interested will make
it his special business to work for It,
AS to the benefit of creamery there
is no need of argument, as it will
If properly backed make one of the
surest money makers for the man with
the cows that can be started here, and
would be the means of tiding over a
man when other crops were failure.
With our cheap grass and hay here
we can produce cream at a cheaper
rate than can any of the older parts
of the state, where creameries are
making such cuccess, and we can
market our products as cheaply as
they can. All we need to do to have
a hummer of successful creamery
is to take the same interest in it that
we have had to take in getting out
into this country and getting settled
on our places, and l for one believe
it to be as necessary and as impor-
tant thing to do as any one thing
we have done in getting out here.
Now, brother settlers, don't hold
back and think "Oh! well, IL it's a
good thing somebody else will build
it, for that isn't SO and II you want
creamery, as / know you do, why
realize it's up to you to get busy.
