had fallen heir to the half-interest he
had held in the Snowbound mine at
Sunshine. but the mine had not pro-
duced a pound of ore in years.
Now Mrs. Todd is halloween in
the richest gold discovery that has
been made in Boulder county in more

By persistent development work

property rediscovered the rich vein
that had made the mine famous in the
early days, and had then been lost.
Samples of the ore taken from the
mine have assayed 100000 to the ton.
